Bovey Tracey, Newton Abbot

Situation

Shaptor Barn is in a beautiful tucked away rural location and forms part of Shaptor Farm with its neighbouring farmhouse, which will also potentially be available for sale in the near future. The site offers excellent far reaching views across Dartmoor National Park with access to many local walks and bridlepaths. The town of Bovey Tracey is located approx 3 miles away with a good range of shops and facilities whilst the village of Hennock is approx 1 mile distant and offers a good local pub and primary school. Newton Abbot (approx 8 miles distant) offers a larger choice of shops and services including a mainline rail station and connections via the A30 to the Cathedral City of Exeter approx 16 miles to the north with connections to the M5 motorway and international airport.

Description

The Barn is believed to have been converted circa 1983 from a former threshing barn but has been improved by the current owners and modernised to offer a spacious but well appointed home of character with its focal point being the spacious Living Room with huge vaulted ceiling and rural views. There are a wealth of features including exposed beams and granite stonework. A Home Office or Multi generational living is potentially an option as there is a partiy converted outbuilding which could provide a one bedroom annexe or office (subject to any necessary consents) whilst there is generous parking in the yard and a further timber outbuilding which houses the stables.

Accommodation

The timber stable style front door opens into the Entrance Hallway leading to a Cloakroom, Boiler Room, and Two double bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms. Both bedrooms benefit from exposed beams with the Master Bedroom offering views over the adjoining field.

Outside

The main driveway leads down past fields and the neighbouring farmhouse, past its own small orchard into the main courtyard providing generous parking in front of the barn, potential annexe/home office, and mixed use timber outbuilding comprising hardstanding area with 5 stables, Tractor Shed/Store, Hay Store/Car Ports, and animal shelter. There is a small area of garden and decked seating area to the rear.

The detached Home Office/Annexe currently offers a Bedroom/Office with Shower facilities and a Sitting Room/Kitchen overlooking the main courtyard.

Wayleaves

The property is sold subject to any wayleaves, public or private rights of ways, easements and covenants and all outgoings, whether mentioned in the sales particulars or not. There is a public footpath which just crosses the access driveway and follows the boundary of the property (but does not cross it).
