Stoke, Hartland

PROPERTY DESCRIPTION Berry Shop is a detached stone barn which has been sympathetically converted to provide a one bedroom dwelling. It forms part of, but is nicely separated from, a historic group of former farm buildings situated in a remote elevated position on the rugged North Devon coastline.

There are wonderful views out to sea to the west where the sunsets can be amazing. It is close to the National Trust coast path, the famous Hartland Quay and the village of Hartland with its local amenities. There are many excellent surfing beaches and the popular resort of Bude within a short drive.

The conversion was recently completed to the highest standards combining traditional techniques such as lime pointing and original timber beams with modern features in the form of metal roofing, aluminium glazing and slate floor with underfloor heating.

A spacious open plan living/dining/kitchen has a vaulted double height ceiling and original exposed 'A' frame trusses. There are windows to three aspects ensuring it is very light, a wood burning stove and modern yet discrete kitchen. A separate well-appointed shower room and a mezzanine double bedroom complete the accommodation.

The barn is approached via a wooden five bar gate onto an extensive gravel drive. There is a walled terrace adjacent to the building with exceptional views out to sea and feature glass-capped well. The substantial plot beyond is laid to lawn with hedgebanks surrounding.

Berry Shop is an ideal holiday retreat with excellent letting potential. It also has full planning consent as a permanent residence.
