5 bedroom house

A superb Grade II listed family home in the heart of the village enjoying many period features, a detached two bed annex, grounds of about four acres and fantastic opportunity for growth.


Description

Town Living Farm enjoys light and spacious accommodation throughout with the benefit of a detached two bed annex/holiday home known as 'The Cow Shed'. There is a further exciting opportunity with planning permission granted for the two attached barns.

Upon entering Town Living there is a welcoming hallway with stunning period floorboards. This opens to the impressive kitchen/dining room with bi fold doors out onto the sun terrace. The bespoke kitchen has a range of base and drawer units and flows nicely into the handy utility/WC. The dining area is superb and seamlessly flows from inside to the south facing outside terrace making it a perfect space for entertaining. The charming sitting room has a wonderful inglenook fireplace, exposed beams and views over the front garden and there is a further reception room, again with an inglenook fireplace and bread oven.

Upstairs, there is a family bathroom and three bedrooms with the master bedroom being triple aspect and benefiting from an en suite shower room.

The Cow Shed is beautifully presented and enjoys wonderful far reaching countryside views. Internally there is a fully fitted kitchen/breakfast room, handy utility and modern downstairs bathroom with separate shower. The generous sitting room benefits from exposed beams and double doors which lead out onto a further sun terrace, perfect for alfresco dining. Upstairs there are two well-proportioned double bedrooms and a shower room with walk-in shower.

Attached to the main house are two impressive barns which have planning permission granted for conversion into three dwellings. This creates a wonderful and exciting opportunity for growth and subject to planning could extend the current home to create a 5/6 bedroom home. Planning Permission (West Devon Ref.
3139/19/ARC).

The gardens and grounds are delightful, especially due to the property's village location and the backdrop of the rolling countryside. The large garden has a vegetable area for keen gardeners, an orchard and numerous mature trees and shrubs. Directly outside the main house is a wonderful sun terrace and a further raised seating area. To the east is a large paddock where the American style barn is located. Town living is approached by a driveway off the village road providing ample parking, there is a useful quadruple car port and a pretty cottage style front garden. The two barns with planning permission have planning granted to have their own access off the village road and a private parking area.
