Cutwellwalls, Avonwick, South Brent, Devon, TQ10

‘Barn Cottage’ is a unique, detached, single-storey barn conversion which is engulfed by countryside sitting in a delightful rural yet convenient setting just outside of the village of Avonwick

DESCRIPTION
A fine example of a rural home, Barn Cottage offers versatile accommodation all on one level in very good condition throughout and boasting far reaching countryside views. Sitting nicely in the centre of a predominately level plot, the property offers a superb family home or perhaps a wonderful property for someone looking to downsize to a single storey property.

Upon entry into the property from the front, one is greeted by a welcoming entrance hallway, off of which the accommodation can be accessed. Within the hallway there are two useful storage cupboards, one of which houses the water heating system. Situated on the western side of the property the main living accommodation can be found, comprising an expansive sitting room and dining room which both boast vaulted ceilings with exposed timber beams. The sitting room is a spacious yet cosy and warm space, with dual aspect to the front and rear along with a feature wood-burning stove. The dining room provides access directly into the garden via patio doors along with a triple aspect overlooking the front, side and rear. Adjacent to the living accommodation is the farmhouse kitchen and open utility room, a very practical pair of rooms with space for appliances including a large range cooker, fridge/freezer, washing machine, tumble dryer and dishwasher. The current owners have traditionally entered the property via a stable door through the utility room as directly outside is a large covered area which is ideal for the storage of coats and shoes and provides protection from the weather. Positioned on the eastern side of the property are the bedrooms; beginning with the master bedroom suite which provides fitted wardrobes and a lovely dual aspect overlooking the garden and the driveway, along with a private en-suite bathroom. Two further bedrooms are located in this part of the property, both well-proportioned with fitted wardrobes. Finally, the main family bathroom is centrally located within Barn Cottage and provides modern wash facilities including a bath with shower over.

The current owners have partially converted the loft space to provide a useful decorated storage space with flooring and windows. Barn Cottage is fitted with uPVC double glazing and an oil-fired central heating system with an external boiler which has been replaced in 2024. Additionally there are fourteen privately owned PV panels on the southerly facing roof face helping to keep the running costs down on this wonderful home.

SITUATION
Positioned just outside of the South Hams village of Avonwick, Barn Cottage is in a secluded rural setting surrounded farmland but it still conveniently located just a few minutes drive from the A38 dual carriage way. Within the village of Avonwick itself is the popular Avon Inn as well as St. James Church and the village sits between the towns of Ivybridge and Totnes, both of which boasts bustling high street with a vast array of boutique shops, café’s, restaurants, pubs and other amenities. South Brent Primary School and Ivybridge Community College are the nearest schools to serve Avonwick, both of which currently have a good Ofsted report.

OUTSIDE
Sitting in the centre of a level and private plot, Barn Cottage offers a number of fabulous outside spaces to enjoy. Approaching from a private lane owned by neighbouring Cutwellwalls, double wooden 5-bar gates provide access into the private gravel driveway which provides off-road parking for numerous vehicles. Next to the entrance gates are three large garages/outbuildings, all of which boasts double wooden doors, power and light, along with a useful store room which wraps around two of the outbuildings, also fitted with power and light. There is an area of front garden which is planted with mature bushes and flowering shrubs and pathways lead to either side of the property and further into the gardens. On the northerly fringe of the property and right by the front entrance is a large patio seating area which truly is a private oasis and a perfect space for entertaining, with a raised pond and a feature pergola. Moving around to the western edge of the property, there is an area of raised beds perfect for avid gardeners, along with a detached outbuilding/summer house which is insulated and fitted with power, light and electric heating. Finally, to the south of the property is the main expanse of garden which is predominately laid to lawn, with an initial decked seating area, an area for growing an assortment of vegetables, a fruit cage and a greenhouse.
