Soar, near Malborough

Located in the heart of the South Hams countryside, yet just a kilometre from the South West Coast Path, The Store comprises a two storey, semi-detached barn which has planning permission for conversion into a 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom holiday let.  With attractive natural  stone elevations, the barn is found on the edge of the delightful community of Southdown Farm, within the National Landscape and Undeveloped Coast.  Partially converted many years ago, the building is now ready for full conversion to a residential property.   With a full height sitting room having composite bi-fold doors to the front of the property, there is also a separate dining area and kitchen, together with a double bedroom and bathroom at ground floor level.  Upstairs there is a master double bedroom with en-suite bathroom.  To the front of the property is a small area of garden for enjoyment and entertaining.  There is a dedicated parking space nearby.

The property will have solar PV panels to enhance its eco credentials and the planning includes consideration of the local community of bats, which have been allocated their own 'accommodation' within the building.

The nearby village of Malborough has a popular and thriving community, benefitting from a primary school, a couple of pubs, a shop and petrol station, together with a large village hall and playing fields, hosting a wide variety of different activities.  The popular sailing town of Salcombe is just a short drive from the property with its many cafes, restaurants, bars and shops, alongside ferries to the sandy beaches of Mill Bay and South Sands and access to whole Salcombe and Kingsbridge Estuary.  Kingsbridge provides wider facilities including a secondary school, two supermarkets, a cottage hospital, a sports centre and an active high street with a plethora of shops and cafes.
