Market Close, Buckfastleigh

DESCRIPTION 

Luscombe Maye is delighted to bring to market this charming two-bedroom Grade II listed detached barn conversion, beautifully presented and set in the heart of Buckfastleigh. The property enjoys a convenient location, with a range of local amenities just a short distance away.

The property benefits from two private, allocated off-street parking spaces and a fully enclosed garden featuring a useful shed and a variety of flower beds with trees and shrubs.

The accommodation is entered via a welcoming hallway, providing practical space for coats and boots. From here, there is a ground floor WC, which also offers plumbing for a washing machine.

The hallway leads into a charming and characterful kitchen, created in the 1990s through the conversion of a former linhay. This impressive space boasts a vaulted ceiling, exposed stone walls, and is fitted with a gas hob and dishwasher. The kitchen forms the heart of the home and showcases a delightful split-level layout. 

From the kitchen, a short flight of stone steps leads down to the spacious open-plan living and dining area, while a few steps rise to a landing serving the bedrooms. The living space is rich in character, featuring exposed beams and stonework throughout, with floor-to-ceiling windows allowing natural light to flood in. A glazed door provides direct access to the garden, and there is ample space for a dining table, making it ideal for both relaxing and entertaining.

The upper level offers two double bedrooms, both enjoying striking A-frame exposed beams, the original stone linhay wall, and additional floor-to-ceiling windows enhancing the sense of light and space. A beautifully appointed, newly fitted shower room completes the accommodation.

Outside, the garden is fully enclosed and bordered by a combination of walling and fencing. It features two fruit trees and provides an ideal space for keen gardeners. The garden also benefits from rear gated access and includes a shed, which is to remain.

Further benefits include loft storage.

A truly unique and characterful home, blending period charm with practical modern living.

BUCKFASTLEIGH 

The town of Buckfastleigh, is on the south-eastern edge of Dartmoor. It is a small and interesting market town and originally an important wool centre. The town has a full range of facilities and amenities, including a primary school, churches, and easy access to the A38 Expressway. The immediate area has several important visitor attractions including Buckfast Abbey, the South Devon Railway, the Butterfly Farm and Otter Sanctuary, and the Valiant Soldier, formerly a Dartmoor pub and now a museum with a fifties theme. Buckfastleigh Church is at the heart of some of Dartmoor's ghostly legends, one of which was the inspiration for Conan Doyle's The Hound of the Baskervilles.

The area is host to a wide choice of recreational activities with Dartmoor on the doorstep, the coast within easy reach and both Plymouth and Exeter easily accessible. The historic Elizabethan town of Totnes is within about 6 miles and has a mainline railway station offering services to Plymouth, Exeter and on to Bristol, Cardiff and London.
