Langford Hele, Marhamchurch, Bude, Cornwall, EX23

Introducing "Lavender Farm", warning you will fall in love with this beautiful, converted barn!

Where to start and find the words to describe how beautiful this barn conversion is.....seeing is believing.

"Lavender Farm" was sympathetically converted in the early 2000's offering large rooms with many original features, high ceilings, and charm throughout. From top to toe, this stunning home invites you into its thoughtful layout and versatile living, ideal for large families, offering further flexibility via the separate self-contained annexe known as "The Loft".

Over the years, the current owners have adapted and consistently improved their home, with investment and alterations, including an indoor heated swimming pool and, more recently, the biggest change, creating the self-contained 1/2 bedroom annexe. This has been cleverly created via the original accommodation, and now offers a splendid private space, ideal for relatives, extended families, and, of course, the most obvious, a holiday let. When creating The Loft, every detail has been considered, including an easy return to its former layout of a five-bedroom large residence.

Before we talk any further about the accommodation, let's discuss the idyllic position. Nestled off a private lane, where you could be forgiven for driving straight past its private discreet position. Sat in just under 15 acres of gardens and paddocks is the 5ooo sq ft of accommodation. Just 2 miles from the sandy beaches of Widemouth Bay and picturesque cliff top walks along the coastline. This property just keeps on giving with its 2 wildlife ponds, 2 paddocks, woodland area, and River boundary along the River Neet. Where the countryside meets convenience.

Imagine you return home after a hard day at work, to your very own private haven, quick dip in the pool with the by-fold doors open to the patio al fresco dining area, light the BBQ, and sit with a chilled glass looking over your sprawling lawned gardens and beyond. As for star gazing, don't get me started!

The picturesque village of Marhamchurch is 2 miles distant with a community-run shop, a county primary school, and a public house, with Bude, the popular unspoilt coastal resort just 2 miles on. Bude has a wide range of commercial, educational and recreational facilities and lies alongside the main A39 Atlantic Highway, creating convenient access to the south to Newquay and its airport and north, via the towns of Bideford and Barnstaple, to the north Devon link road leading to the M5, Bristol and beyond.

As you enter the private driveway via the five-bar timber gate, choose your parking spot on the gravelled driveway, and walk down the paved pathway under the clematis and honeysuckle, into your welcoming hallway. There you can choose to turn right into your open plan dining family kitchen, with fitted wall and base units in keeping with the character. There is a central island for chopping and prepping tonight's dinner and a large open fireplace with stone decorative surround, a fabulous focal point in the summer, and ready for lighting in the cosy winter evenings. This space easily becomes the hub of the house and has ample space for cooking, dining, entertaining, relaxing, and being with the family.

As you turn left off the entrance, you are stepping into the large sitting area through dining room, measuring a staggering 17m in length. Offering numerous full-length French doors & windows bringing in natural daylight. Here is a wood-burning stove in an inglenook, again, always remembering the theme of the character throughout.

At the end of the barn is the sizeable games room featuring a full-sized snooker table, who will be first to pot the black!

Completing the ground floor accommodation is the utility room, the shower room, and the separate cloakroom.

Let's not forget the heated indoor swimming pool with swim-jet machine, tiled surround for relaxing, and timber bi-fold doors to the outside patio area.

Now to the upstairs, that does not disappoint! The spectacular master suite with its high vaulted ceiling and double opening doors to the balcony, teasing you out there for a morning coffee or watching a sunset in the evening. This room enjoys a full en-suite bathroom with stone effect basin & & matching stone surround bath with shower over. This is arguably one of the best master bedrooms you will ever see. Further off the landing is a guest suite complete with a Juliette balcony and en-suite, with walk in newly tiled shower, a further double bedroom again with a Juliette balcony. All three bedrooms enjoy views over the wildlife pond and gardens. Leaving you to wake up to the beautiful open countryside every morning, the only issue will be you pulling yourself out of bed and off to work!

The remainder of the top floor has now been thoughtfully converted to "the loft". The self-contained 1/2 bedroom annexe is accessed either via its very own private garden and entrance, or by including it back into the main barn via a door off the split landing. The current owners use this for additional family accommodation, but it could easily be an immediate income if used as a busy holiday let. The accommodation allows an open plan kitchen with modern units, timber butcher block work surfaces, and built-in appliances. This space offers a dining and TV area. Across the private hallway is a large bedroom with vaulted ceiling, including a further mezzanine bedroom. Completing the annex is a luxurious bathroom. The annexe does not miss out on the open views and also has its very own private courtyard garden.

As mentioned, the outside enjoys an enviable sloping lawned garden complete with the first of the wildlife ponds, ring fenced by its own land. The pond has a decked area for catching the last of the evening sun whilst reading your favourite book or talking over the day. The garden sweeps around to a mature expanse of lawn ideal for a game of rounders or footie! Mature with hedges and fruit trees. Adjacent to the driveway is a triple bay, open fronted garage.

A gate opens into the paddocks, which offer picturesque countryside views. The stable block lies conveniently between the two paddocks, ideal for anyone who keeps horses, goats, Shetland ponies, all of which the current owners have at some time or another! In the bottom field you will also find your larger of the two wildlife ponds.

To add to all the other features available at "Lavender Farm," it also boasts riparian rights to their stretch of river, which includes the right to fish, with many trout to be caught. Let's not forget its very own sandy beach where the owner's children and visiting nieces and nephews have paddled and swam in the river across to the "island" (you could be forgiven for thinking you are in a famous five novel, swimming over to Misty Island!)

Let me conclude that there is everything to love about this elegant barn and absolutely nothing not to. How can you not fall in love with the discreet position, rolling countryside, and acres of your very own woodlands and fields, versatile accommodation measuring over 5000sqft, and charming character throughout. There are so many new incredible memories to be made at "Lavender Farm", do not miss out on them being yours.
