Impressive, modern barn conversion in rural yet accessible location with grounds and gardens extending to just under 6 acres.
Description
This superb, modern barn conversion has been greatly improved by the current owners and offers all of the conveniences of modern living in a stunning, rural position. Finished to a high standard throughout, this fantastic family home is nestled between South Molton and Tiverton and offers easy access to the North Devon link road, M5 and local train stations. The newly created driveway will provide access to the edge of the land and offers stunning views across Exmoor. There is parking to the side of the property for several cars.
The front door leads to a bright entrance hall, giving access to bedroom four with Jack and Jill shower room and to a good-sized snug through sliding barn-style doors with bi-fold doors opening onto the garden. The fantastic, bright open plan kitchen, living, sitting room is a wonderful addition to the home with double height sloping ceilings with roof lights and open staircase leading to the mezzanine level. The open plan living area with space for a very large dining table and sofas offers two sets of bi-fold doors giving access to both the parking area and separate fenced garden and decked area, perfect for entertaining. There is underfloor heating throughout the ground floor of the property with individual thermostats in each room allowing for additional heating control and fibre broadband is available offering excellent work from home opportunities. The newly fitted open plan kitchen in a modern design provides space for a Rangemaster and a range of base units and central island. There is a fabulous hidden cupboard behind matching kitchen doors and separate downstairs study.
Upstairs, there is an open mezzanine area and landing leading to two similar sized bedrooms, one with characterful beamed ceiling. There is also a door to a cupboard housing the heat recovery system for the property giving the property excellent energy efficiency. The good-sized family bathroom provides a pedestal roll top bath with shower over. The principle bedroom suite is a spectacular space with Juliette balcony, views across the land and en suite dressing area and shower room. There is a separate door leading to a fantastic small mezzanine, study area overlooking the open plan kitchen and living room.
The property will be accessed via a newly finished driveway from the lane which provides wonderful views to Exmoor and continues around the top paddock and down to the parking area. The wonderful grounds surrounding this property extend to approximately just under 6 acres and have been greatly improved by the current owners, yet still offering plenty of scope for the successful purchaser. The main garden is accessed from the living room through bi-fold doors and offers a lovely decked area and fenced, large lawn. The remaining land has been separated into a number of paddocks offering rotational grazing opportunities and secured with stock fencing. There are currently raised vegetable beds and a useful greenhouse as well as a large field shelter/workshop/store accessed via the gravelled parking area and opening onto one of the paddocks. There is a newly built double stable and tack room and charming area of orchard.
Location
Although rurally situated the property is close to the A361 (North Devon link road) and is therefore conveniently placed for local centres such as South Molton and Tiverton. The small local village of Rackenford is approximately 3 miles away and offers a good community, church, local shop and school.
Dating from Saxon times, the bustling market town of South Molton is approximately 13 miles away and stands on the foothills of the Exmoor National Park. Offering a good range of local amenities including a variety of shops and supermarket, social and banking facilities, health centre as well as additional amenities including two primary schools and a senior school. Often seen as the gateway to the Exmoor National Park, South Molton is surrounded by picturesque countryside with the nearby moors providing excellent walks and bridle ways. The North Devon coast with glorious golden beaches at Croyde, Saunton, Putsborough and Woolacombe are just 40 minutes away whilst Barnstaple, North Devon’s regional shopping and employment centre, is 22 miles away.
Communication links are excellent with the M5 motorway (J27) just 17 miles to the south-east via the A361 North Devon Link Road, which in turn gives easy access to Bristol and the North, Exeter and the South West or the A358/ A303 to the East. London is within easy reach by train with the quickest train from Tiverton Parkway station to London Paddington taking approximately 120 minutes. In addition, there are regular national and international flights from Bristol and Exeter airports.
The renowned independent schools of West Buckland and Blundells are situated in Barnstaple (18 miles) and Tiverton (11 miles) respectively.
Square Footage: 2,559 sq ft
Acreage: 5.91 Acres
