3 bedroom detached house for sale

A converted stone barn at end of quiet no through lane with lovely views yet 5 mins from Barnstaple town centre. 3 Bedrooms, 34' Garage

Situation And Amenities

Situated at the end of a quiet, no-through private road in a small rural hamlet, on the semi rural outskirts of Barnstaple, enjoying fine views over an adjoining golf course and to open countryside beyond, yet within 5 minutes driving distance of Barnstaple town centre. Barnstaple is located on the banks of the Rivers Taw and Yeo, and as North Devon's regional centre, houses the area's main business, commercial, leisure and shopping venues. The town is also well known for its exclusive range of outlets, including all of the high street favourites, as well as the Pannier Market, and Butcher's Row. The North Devon Leisure Centre provides many indoor pursuits along with the Tarka Tennis Centre, both in Barnstaple. Live theatres are accessible at Barnstaple and Ilfracombe, whilst other sporting and leisure pursuits are close at hand, including golf literally adjoining at Portmore Golf Course, Ilfracombe, Saunton and Westward Ho!. North Devon's rugged coastline including the popular resorts of Appledore, Croyde, Instow and Woolacombe are all within half an hours drive, as is Exmoor. Less than a mile away is the North Devon Link Road, leading through to Junction 27 of the M5, whilst Barnstaple Railhead provides a link to the National Railway System.

Description

A charming barn conversion presenting elevations of stone beneath a slate roof, together with a large garage / workshop, in turn, converted from a former cow shed, offering potential for conversion to additional accommodation, either by converting the existing footprint, or by lifting the roof to create a first floor, all subject to planning permission. The property is link detached, only attached by the kitchen to the garage of the adjoining property. We understand that the barn was converted in 1986. The accommodation is deceptively spacious and benefits from double glazed windows throughout, as well as an oil fired central heating system complemented by a multi fuel wood burning stove in the main reception area. The Court is one of those properties that really needs to be internally inspected to be fully appreciated. The accommodation with approximate dimensions is more clearly shown on the accompanying floorplan, but comprises;
