Description

This Grade II listed barn conversion offers a unique opportunity for renovation and investment, nestled in a semi-rural setting yet conveniently located near the towns of Ashburton and Newton Abbot. Spanning over 2,000 square feet across three levels, the property sits on approximately a quarter-acre plot, featuring both garden space and ample parking. The layout includes a striking 35-foot reception room that has been adaptable to suit various family dynamics over the years. Its triple aspect design allows natural light to flood the space and provides views over the gardens. With its rustic charm, exposed beams, and stonework, there are numerous possibilities to enhance this area further or reconfigure it to meet modern living demands. The kitchen is well-equipped with solid wooden worktops and a breakfast bar, offering ample dining space with access through double doors to the patio area. This setup encourages indoor-outdoor living and could be transformed into an expanded living space if desired. Also on this level is a practical inner hallway with additional storage options and a WC. On the upper floor, four bedrooms feature vaulted ceilings and exposed beams, providing character alongside functionality. Two bedrooms have en-suite shower rooms, while two others share a family bathroom. This configuration creates versatility for family living or rental opportunities. Externally, there’s potential for further development; the open-fronted carport comes with a workshop space that may be converted into ancillary accommodation (subject to necessary consents). The rear garden is primarily laid to lawn with established trees and shrubs, offering serene countryside views along with a quaint bridge crossing over a leat that meanders through the property. In terms of accessibility, this location offers easy commuting options via the A38 Devon Expressway and mainline rail services from Newton Abbot into London Paddington. The surrounding areas provide various amenities including schools—both state-run and independent—as well as proximity to Dartmoor for outdoor enthusiasts seeking recreational activities. This property not only serves as an appealing home but also presents significant renovation potential for those looking to invest in an expanding market. Whether you envision updating existing features or exploring new configurations within this charming barn conversion context, there are numerous avenues to explore here.
