Description
The area is rich in footpaths and rural lanes, for those that enjoy walking, with, just to the north, the Arlington Court Estate, formerly the home of the Chichester family of round the world Yacht race fame and their ancestors, but more recently by the National Trust. It has acres of rolling parkland, mature woodland walks and stunning gardens and lakes.
The property is just over a mile from the main Barnstaple to Bratton Fleming road with Bratton, centred around its ancient parish Church, primary school and village shop being about 2 miles.
To the south, Barnstaple, about 7 miles is the ancient borough and administrative centre for North Devon offering a comprehensive range of both business and leisure facilities including the Green Lanes Shopping Centre, out of town superstores, live theatre, leisure centre, tennis courts and access onto the A361 North Devon Link Road which provides much improved communications to and from the North Devon area connecting directly as it does through to Jctn 27 on the M5 motorway to the east side of Tiverton, where there is also the Parkway Railway Station from where journey times to London/Paddington are approximately 2 hours.
Some 10 - 12 miles to the west of the property is the dramatic North Devon coastline at Saunton, Croyde, Putsborough and Woolacombe with sandy beaches, surfing, sailing, swimming, fishing, microlight various golf courses and other associated facilities. To the east, again 5 miles is the Exmoor National Park with expanse of heather clad moorlands offering stunning riding and walking
This attractive Grade II Listed rural property backs onto a quiet, no through country lane in the pretty scattered rural hamlet of Loxhore with an active community with Parish Church, Chapel and Vilage Hall .
Originally built, probably in the 17th century, this substantial stone barn is on two floors with four horseshoe shaped openings on the ground floor, now the windows to the current bedrooms, originally these would have been openings and used for housing horse drawn carts and farm implements with the stone steps, which now serve the first floor, likely serving a Granary over, where the corn grown on the farm would have been stored in wooden hutches for feeding to the farm livestock during the winter months.
Now an attractive family character filled home with three double bedrooms and family bathroom on the ground floor, aswell as a superb vaulted first-floor open plan living room with kitchen area to one gable end adjoining a dining area with the remainder dedicated to a lounge. There is also a separate cloakroom/utility.
Immediately outside is a good-sized level car parking and turning area with a short shallow slope leading up to an exceptionally private area of very gently sloping grass which surrounds a central wildlife pond surrounded by mature trees and enjoying far reaching views to fields and woodland.
Services. Main water and Electric. Shared private drainage. LPG central heating and cooking, recently upgraded heating system with large radiators.
