This homely barn conversion is full of character, and sits in an extremely private position with grounds of around 0.6 acres, enjoying complete tranquillity with fine views of the surrounding countryside. The property is approached via a pair of Devon Curved Heel gates to an extensive gravelled driveway providing ample parking that leads to the stables and a generously sized workshop, all of which offer a fantastic amount of potential to be converted, subject to any necessary planning consents. This is certainly a property that needs to be viewed to be fully appreciated.
