A unique opportunity to acquire a stunning new barn conversion in the coastal village of Torcross with views over Slapton Ley.

Description

Situated in a sheltered spot in the heart of the beautiful coastal village of Torcross, Butterwell Barn has been lovingly converted by local, award winning builders and is a stunning example of a barn conversion which marries character charm with modern family living.

Butterwell Barn is fully equipped with all the modern conveniences one would expect such as engineered oak floors with underfloor heating as well as bespoke kitchens and bathrooms.

Stepping into the spacious and welcoming entrance hall, you really get a feel for what is to come. High ceilings, curved walls and reclaimed timbers add to the character and charm whilst large, Crittal style windows flood the spaces with natural light.

The ground floor offers a fabulous principal en suite bedroom as well as a further two double bedrooms, one of which is en suite and a family bathroom. Beyond this is a convenient boot room/utility room with external access to the store.

Stairs rise to a split landing which provides access to a large study with glazed double doors to the gardens.

The first floor is dedicated to the stunning living accommodation comprising a well-equipped kitchen with integrated appliances which opens to the dining and living area. There is a central feature fireplace with wood burning stove visible from both sides. An abundance of windows and roof lights create a wonderful feeling of space, bathed in natural light with a large picture window perfectly framing the views over Slapton Ley. Glazed doors open onto the patio above the garden room and provide the perfect spot for alfresco dining. Beyond the living accommodation there is also a double en suite bedroom on the first floor.
