5 bedroom house

A substantial barn conversion with ancillary accommodation in a delightful rural setting with south-facing gardens and grounds of approximately 4.5 acres.



SITUATION AND DESCRIPTION
A sizeable five bedroom barn conversion with adaptable accommodation and approximately 4.5 acres of gardens and grounds situated in peaceful rural location, close to Dartmoor National Park, and within approximately ten miles from Plymouth City centre.

Originally dating, we understand, from c.1875 as a large barn/hayloft for Blowiscombe Farm, which formed part of the Maristow Estate.

This fine building was converted in around 2000/2001 to create an elegant Devon family home commanding lovely views over the surrounding landscape and nature reserve valley of nearby Milton Combe.

Milton Combe is a most charming Devon village nestling in the folds of countryside a close distance from the Tavy and Tamar valleys. Buckland Abbey, the historic home of Sir Francis Drake, lies just outside the village. Dartmoor National Park is a few miles distant as is the popular market town of Tavistock.

The current owners have greatly improved and further developed the property with recent works including the development of the building attached to the main house where a workshop/store/office has been established together with a luxurious one bedroom annexe currently run as a very successful Airbnb which can be viewed on the following link

To provide further income potential a detached shepherd?s hut has been set up, with services connected, and is available by separate negotiation.

The interior to the main building includes impressive vaulted ceilings with beautifully crafted joinery and spacious living areas, ideal for entertaining with a sitting room boasting a large open fireplace and the kitchen/dining room opening onto a good size balcony with countryside views, perfect for al-fresco dining.

Improvement works by the current sellers have included the installation of two replacement oil-fired boilers, a new kitchen to the annexe, cctv, replacement decking, a field shelter and numerous other improvements and upgrades.

We understand that planning consent has been obtained for the addition of stables and a tackroom. An application has, we understand, been submitted for the holiday lets.

The versatile accommodation comprises a reception with stairs to first floor kitchen/dining room, sitting room, drawing room and play room. To the ground floor is a master bedroom with large ensuite shower room with double doors leading out to a south facing deck. The hallway leads to a shower room, family bathroom and four further double bedrooms. To the rear is a courtyard with an original outbuilding which houses the utility area.

The grounds include a paddock, bordered in part by the sweeping driveway approaching the house, and south-facing gardens mainly laid to lawn with established trees and seating areas. The grounds include an area set aside for the Shepherd?s Hut and an ?out of ground? pool together with area of decking and outdoor seating areas.

The large Dutch barn provides an extensive covered area potentially suitable for sporting pursuits or the housing of vehicles or other machinery.
