Ermington, Devon

Welcome to Higher Preston Barn, a remarkable barn conversion set within a generous 3.5-acre plot in the heart of the South Hams countryside. Formerly an old piggery, the property was bought in 2017 and thoughtfully converted in 2018 to create a truly unique and luxurious home. The interiors offer an exceptional blend of rustic charm and high-end finishes, with exposed oak joists and trusses sourced from a local Devon supplier, paired with modern conveniences throughout.

Step inside and you’re greeted by a vast reception room, ideal for cosy evenings or entertaining on a grand scale. Large sliding doors open out to a beautifully laid patio and decked hot tub area, offering uninterrupted views of the surrounding fields.

The home boasts three spacious bedrooms, each with their own ensuite. The principal bedroom also benefits from a dressing room. The property is enhanced by underfloor heating and bespoke handcrafted windows. 

Upstairs is the beautiful open-plan living area, which is the heart of this home. The vaulted ceiling with exposed oak beams creates an incredible sense of space and character, while the layout flows beautifully from the relaxed lounge area to the stylish kitchen and dining area. It’s perfect for modern family life and entertaining, with natural light pouring in through large windows and doors that invite the outside in. Every detail has been thoughtfully designed to balance comfort, practicality, and style.

The kitchen diner is a true showstopper, finished to an exceptional standard with quartz worktops, 'KF Kitchens' cabinetry, a 'Quooker' hot tap, 'Neff' appliances including a dishwasher, tall fridge and freezer, twin ovens (including a combination microwave and hot drawer), wine fridge, hidden sockets, and an induction hob with built-in extractor—all designed for both practicality and impact. A separate utility room, modern WC, and ample storage complete the interior space.

To access the property, a secure gate allows entry from anywhere in the World by dialling a specific telephone number. At the front, there is a larger-than-average driveway providing parking for several cars. To the rear, the garden has been carefully landscaped, with a decked area housing the hot tub, a patio, and a genuinely breathtaking outlook across the paddocks, which is measured at approximately 2.7 acres, perfect as a small holding or for equestrian use, or simply enjoying the space and privacy this unique home affords. Within the paddocks is a 20 metre diameter pond.

The property is situated only a 6-minute drive from the A38 and the town of Ivybridge with all its amenities.

A one-of-a-kind country residence in a tranquil setting, ideal for those seeking space, style, and serenity.
