Westcombe

Nearing completion, a stunning, newly converted five bedroom Class Q barn conversion, set in a fantastic rural location with one acre paddock and beautiful countryside views. In all c. 1.45 acres.


Westcombe is situated in a wonderfully peaceful, rural location, close to the small village of Shillingford. The charming country town of Bampton is only a few miles away with its many amenities including popular pubs and restaurants, butchers, artisan baker, wine shop, greengrocer, chemist, doctor's practice, primary school, post office and a lovely 15th century church. The larger market town of Tiverton lies c. 9 miles to the south with a wide range of facilities including the well regarded Blundell's School. From Tiverton, there is fast dual carriage way access to Junction 27 of the M5 motorway and Tiverton Parkway mainline station which provides regular intercity services to London (Paddington 2 hours). The whole area is well known for its outstanding natural beauty with Exmoor National Park just 3.5 miles to the north and the beaches of the beautiful North Devon coast are only a 40 minute drive.

Westcombe is an exciting, contemporary country home newly converted from a steel framed agricultural building into a superb family home with 3673 sq ft of impressive living accommodation, finished to a high specification and designed to maximise the beautiful country views. The ground floor accommodation comprises a spacious entrance hall with a glass staircase to the first floor, boot room/ utility and a generous sitting room with sliding doors.

Forming the heart of the house is the large open plan kitchen/ living area with the mezzanine principal bedroom and landing over, and sliding doors to the south facing terrace. In addition, there is a ground floor bedroom suite with doors opening out to a timber decked terrace. Two further bedrooms (one could be used as a study) are served by a family bathroom.

Upstairs, there is a spacious mezzanine landing / study area and the principal bedroom suite with the luxury of a roll top bath in the bedroom, strategically placed to enjoy the wonderful views. Two further bedrooms, both en-suite, complete the first floor accommodation.

Outside, to the front of the property, are two wide paved terraces with oustanding views and there is a timber decked terrace leading off the ground floor bedroom suite, with a delightful outlook overlooking a stream and waterfall. The grounds amount to approx. 1.45 acres and include a one acre paddock. Approached by a concrete driveway, the property will have double gates and laurel hedging to give complete privacy. West Combe has a right of way over the access drive.

The property is being converted and sold by Ware Developments (wareconstruction.co.uk) a reputable, local company who specialise in renovation and new build within Exmoor, Somerset, North Devon and the surrounding areas. Completion for build is due July 2022.
