Chillington, Kingsbridge

Chillington is a village with excellent amenities including a pub, post office/general store and health centre. It is conveniently placed for easy access to the Salcombe and Dart estuaries, renowned for their sailing, and is also close to the beautiful South Devon coastline where there is a marvellous selection of beaches and coves linked by spectacularly rugged cliffs and headlands.

The neighbouring village of Stokenham has a primary school and the Kingsbridge to Dartmouth bus provides a regular service through the village.

Higher Oddicombe Barn occupies an elevated position, surrounded by farmland, on the edge of the village and enjoys delightful far-reaching views across the valley to unspoilt countryside.

Converted in the mid 1990’s and extended in 2014, this U-shaped barn is set around a delightful south facing courtyard which doors from all the principal ground floor rooms open onto. The entrance level comprises a triple aspect sitting room with stone fireplace fitted with a wood burning stove, useful store room, kitchen dining room with handmade kitchen and cloakroom.

A door from the kitchen opens into the annex kitchen which leads into a sitting room, sun room, utility and bedroom with en-suite shower room. The single storey annexe is self-contained and can be configured in a number of ways to suit. It is perfect for visiting family, dependent relatives or an income if desired.

The first floor galleried landing and vaulted ceilings give a feeling of space and airiness and in the main barn there are four bedrooms (one is currently used as a study), two of which are en-suite and a family bathroom.

The gardens wrap around the property and in addition to the sunny central courtyard, there are a number of delightful sitting areas, lawns with established trees and the paddock which is approximately an acre runs down to a stream at the bottom.
