This Grade II curtilage listed stone barn, part of the historical Hardicott Estate, presents a unique opportunity for renovation and investment within the serene Tamar Valley. Nestled amidst picturesque rural scenery, this collection of traditional stone barns showcases architectural character and has a strong agricultural heritage, with the main structure dating back to 1903.
The property features a combination of single-storey and two-storey accommodations that create an interesting variety in size and layout. The primary barn enjoys a desirable south-west orientation, allowing for abundant natural light and stunning views of the surrounding countryside. With planning permission already secured for the conversion into a six-bedroom dwelling, buyers have an exceptional chance to transform these charming structures into a bespoke family home that harmonizes historical elements with contemporary design.
Spanning approximately 2.4 acres, the land not only enhances privacy but also offers potential for gardens or leisure spaces, with possibilities for small-scale equestrian use subject to necessary approvals. The site’s layout includes open paddocks and a boundary stream, further adding to its tranquil setting.
Located near Milton Abbot, residents will find essential amenities such as a pub and primary school. The nearby towns of Tavistock and Launceston provide comprehensive local services, including supermarkets and both state and private secondary schools. The property is conveniently situated approximately an hour's drive from Exeter, a vibrant university city with extensive transport links including mainline train services to London.
Access is straightforward from Milton Abbot via Tavistock to Plymouth, where regular mainline connections are available. Additionally, major routes such as the A30 facilitate easy travel towards Exeter and beyond.
While renovations will require bringing in mains electricity, sinking a borehole, and installing a private drainage system, this project allows for significant value creation in the heart of an unspoiled landscape. The presence of restrictive covenants ensures that development remains aligned with the tranquil nature of the estate while providing clarity on usage rights for prospective owners.
Overall, this property offers an inviting canvas for those looking to invest in restoration while enjoying the benefits of countryside living in a region known for its natural beauty.
