Rolle Barton, Church Hill, Otterton, Budleigh Salterton, EX9

A unique and well presented barn conversion in the heart of the much favoured East Devon village of Otterton, with spacious accommodation, countryside views and a sunny west facing garden.

Description

Phoenix Barn is an enchanting historic barn set within the prestigious residential courtyard of Rolle Barton centrally located in the village near the Church and Otterton Mill.

This is a rare opportunity to acquire a character property in one of the village's most desirable developments which was once a principal farmstead. Rolle Barton was constructed in the late 1990s to a superb architectural design and built using traditional materials including stone, slate and oak.

Phoenix Barn itself dates from 1870 and enjoys one of the finest positions within the development. This three storey barn conversion boasts charming views over the surrounding countryside and has a sizeable rear garden with a sunny westerly aspect. The internal accommodation is extremely light and spacious, arranged to make the most of the setting and original features, measuring just under 2,800 sq. ft.

The entrance hall, located on the first floor, welcomes you to the kitchen on the right that further opens into the dining room. To the other side of the entrance hall is the generously proportioned second bedroom, which enjoys an ensuite and outlook over the rear garden. The first floor is completed by a WC/cloakroom and wide staircase leading to the second and lower ground floors.

Upstairs, the vaulted living area is a striking space with exposed beams, and a feature wood burning stove, with an expansive view over the rear garden and River Otter valley. Across the landing is the principal bedroom of similarly generous proportions, with an ensuite and garden views.

The barrel vaulted ground floor has an abundance of historic character with exposed brick arches creating an interlinked landing, bedroom with ensuite, utility room, and garden room with an inviting doorway to the rear garden and terrace.

Outside, the generous garden is mostly level with a gently sloped lawn down to the Mill leat which adjoins the River Otter. The garden enjoys sun throughout the day into the evening, affording lovely views over the countryside beyond. Mature trees and borders make this garden a positive retreat and haven. There are two integral garages, one at the front of the property and one located to the rear of the courtyard, comprising two off-street parking spaces. The courtyard setting to the front of the property offers privacy yet a real sense of community and is only moments from the heart of the village.
