Linhay Barn, Haye Farm

DESCRIPTION

Located on a historic farmstead, The Linhay is one of only five barn conversions and a Grade II Listed Farmhouse in a 'best of both worlds' setting. Haye Farm is situated next to the grounds of the National Trust's Saltram Park in a rural location on the outskirts of Elburton, yet within easy access of the A38, and the shops and public houses of Elburton Village and Plymstock.

The property enjoys good sized accommodation with some vaulted ceilings, in addition to a larger-than-average level garden backing onto fields, a garage and parking, making it ideal for a wide range of uses, whether as a primary residence or second home, or a buy-to-let. An internal inspection of this excellent prospect comes highly recommended.

SITUATION

The village-like atmosphere of Elburton and close proximity to the countryside of the South Hams, continues to ensure that the location remains one of the most sought-after areas within the city of Plymouth. Amenities include the OFSTED rated 'Outstanding' Elburton primary school, Post Office, Co-op convenience store, butcher's shop, bakery, public houses, take-aways and regular bus service from Elburton Road into Plymstock and Plymouth. Secondary schooling is available at Coombe Dean and Plymstock schools. Nearby, the Plymstock Broadway has a wider range of shops, library, health centre and the city centre of Plymouth is only approximately four miles with a range of large department stores, restaurants, cinemas, theatres, grammar schools, colleges and university. The nearby beaches of Wembury and Bovisand (each approximately five miles distant) are easily accessible, along with the glorious countryside of the South Hams and Dartmoor National Park. Other leisure facilities nearby include a highly rated golf driving range only about ¼ mile away, and Plymouth has at least five yacht marinas including Sutton Harbour, Mayflower, Plymouth Yacht Haven, Queen Anne's Battery and King Point, providing an excellent base for exploring the South West's many fantastic beaches and anchorages, or further afield to France and the Channel Islands.

Communication links in the area are excellent, with the A38 Devon Expressway providing dual carriageway links to the M5 at Exeter, or Cornwall across the Tamar. There is a mainline train station, providing direct links to London Paddington in just over three hours, whilst Exeter's International Airport about an hour's drive away provides a wide selection of services to UK and international destinations, including daily flights to London City Airport.

There are two large boarded Loft Spaces with lighting, accessed by loft ladders from Bedroom 2 and the Inner Hall.

OUTSIDE

The property is approached via a private driveway which gives access to all the barns and the farmhouse, in addition to the garaging and parking area. To the front of The Linhay is a strip of lawn with a short path leading to the front door.

To the rear of the property is a good sized, level, part-walled, West-facing garden, the largest and sunniest of all the barns' gardens, enjoying sun throughout the day. There is a paved patio to the immediate rear (with power and light), running the width of the property with two steps up and the remainder is mainly laid to lawn with a large garden shed and fenced perimeters to the sides with a pedestrian gate opening into the parking area. The rear boundary is walled and planted with a number of wildlife-friendly plants including verbena bonariensis, primrose, poppy, sea pink and wild geranium. With fields beyond (currently used for horses), the garden enjoys a wonderful countryside outlook.

The Linhay enjoys the potential to extend to the rear, subject to any necessary consents.
