This remarkable detached barn conversion, originally dating back to around 1700 and skillfully converted in 2000, presents a unique renovation opportunity with significant potential for investment. Nestled within an expansive 11.96 acres—further land available—this property not only offers a blend of period charm and modern comforts but also includes additional buildings that could enhance its residential capacity. The existing structure features stunning stone elevations and double-glazed oak framed windows beneath a slate roof, showcasing character throughout.
The current layout includes a spacious reception kitchen on the first floor, boasting high vaulted ceilings and direct access to a south-facing sun balcony that overlooks picturesque views of Exmoor. The ground floor comprises two bedrooms with an ensuite bathroom for the master and an adjacent wet room to the second bedroom.
Notably, there is approved planning permission for a linked three-bedroom wing, which would expand the living accommodations to five bedrooms. This flexibility allows future owners the freedom to adapt the layout to their needs or even explore dual occupancy arrangements.
Additional outbuildings present versatile opportunities; currently functioning as an office and laundry area, these spaces could be repurposed into additional living quarters pending necessary approvals. Generous parking options and well-maintained gardens enhance the property’s appeal, while surrounding fields offer both bucolic beauty and potential agricultural use.
With proximity to local amenities in Barnstaple and easy access to Devon’s stunning coastline and Exmoor National Park, Ashelford Farm is not just a home but a canvas for those looking to create their own unique retreat or investment property in a scenic rural location.
