Description - This versatile, link-detached countryside home was converted approximately 35 years ago and is now offered to the market chain-free, having been in our client’s family's ownership for 28 years. The 4-bedroom accommodation offers excellent space, good flexibility and traditional character throughout. Complementing the barn externally is an attractive, enclosed garden with a selection of useful outbuildings, plus an adjoining paddock, with the plot amounting to 1.05 acres in all. Additionally, the barn enjoys fantastic westerly views across its own land towards the surrounding countryside, as well as some views of Dartmoor to the North.

Accommodation - The property is accessed through an entrance porch, initially into a reception hallway. On the ground floor, the accommodation is briefly comprised as follows: a superbly equipped, dual-aspect kitchen/dining room; a utility/boot room which functions as the day-to-day entrance; a fully fitted larder; two double bedrooms, one of which is served by an en-suite shower room, and; a standalone family bathroom. The kitchen is fitted with a very good range of contemporary cupboards and cabinets, with Minerva acrylic worktops incorporating a 1.5-bowl composite sink, and NEFF appliances including a multi-function induction hob, oven and combination oven and microwave.
