Description

This Grade II listed barn conversion, set in a semi-rural area and spanning over 2,000 square feet, presents an exciting opportunity for those looking to invest in a spacious family home. The property, nestled on approximately a quarter-acre plot, features three stories of versatile accommodation that has been cherished by the current owners for almost two decades. With proximity to the towns of Ashburton and Newton Abbot—both reachable within 10 minutes—this location combines peaceful living with convenient access to urban amenities. The layout boasts a generous 35-foot reception room characterized by its triple aspect windows, allowing an abundance of natural light and scenic views of the established gardens. This adaptable space is perfect for creating distinct living areas that suit evolving family needs. The kitchen, while functional, offers potential for enhancements or reconfiguration to create a more contemporary dining experience. Upstairs, four bedrooms feature vaulted ceilings with exposed beams, adding to the property’s charm while providing opportunities for modernisation. Two en-suite shower rooms are present; however, updating bathrooms could significantly increase comfort and value. One of the highlights is the open-fronted carport and workshop area that brings additional possibilities for conversion into auxiliary accommodation or studio space (subject to necessary permissions). The surrounding gardens include a level lawn area with patio space ideal for outdoor gatherings, all framed by mature trees and hedges which provide privacy and tranquility. Investors should consider both cosmetic upgrades and functionality improvements throughout this home to maximize its investment potential while retaining historical elements that make it unique.
