East Down, Barnstaple

This is a distinctive offering featuring a charming detached 2-bedroom barn conversion set amidst an impressive 23.49 acres of primarily pastoral land. In addition to the main residence, there exists a collection of period structures, one of which has secured planning permission for the addition of a linked 3-bedroom extension. Nestled in a serene hamlet with stunning views towards Exmoor, this property provides both tranquillity and accessibility, being just a short drive from Barnstaple and the North Devon coastline. The main barn, originally dating back to around 1700 and converted in 2000, retains many period features while incorporating modern upgrades. The open-plan reception area boasts soaring vaulted ceilings and opens onto a spacious south-facing balcony with panoramic views. Below are two well-appointed bedrooms, including one with an en-suite bathroom and an adjoining garden room that could serve multiple purposes. The potential for renovation is significant; aside from converting the permitted outbuilding into additional living space—bringing the total possible bedrooms up to five—there are currently various areas that can be adapted for further accommodation or personal projects. Additional structures on site are ideal for office space or utility needs but could also be developed into further living quarters, subject to planning permissions. With its beautifully landscaped gardens and substantial grounds, this property not only offers a lifestyle but also an opportunity for those looking to create their own bespoke rural retreat or expand upon an existing investment.
