Huntshaw, Torrington, Devon, EX38

Designed in the style of a threshing barn and built around 25 years ago with pleasing elevations of stone, brick and colour washed render under a slate roof. The property combines the atmosphere of a rural conversion with the ease and comfort of a more modern home. The approach immediately suggests a house of substance, while inside the accommodation is arranged to offer both flow and flexibility for family life, entertaining and quieter day to day living.
The glazed front door leads through to a notably generous entrance/ dining room measuring 29 feet, creating an impressive first impression and a strong central space for hosting and gathering. The kitchen/breakfast room with its range cooker and dishwasher, is well equipped with an array of floor, wall and drawer units with ample work surfaces and provides a practical and sociable setting for everyday use, while the utility room and cloakroom add useful support spaces that help the house function well, on a daily basis. The utility room has doors to the front, the side and an internal door to the double garage, with its up and over doors and ample roof storage.
The sitting room is a particularly appealing principal reception room, enjoying a triple aspect that brings in natural light from different directions and strengthens the connection with the surrounding gardens. Double opening doors to the dining room make the whole a wonderful space to entertain. Off to one side of the dining room is a cloakroom and study or as currently set up, bedroom 5. In addition, a snug on the first floor offers valuable extra versatility, whether used for reading, relaxation or home working, and helps give the house a layout that can adapt well to changing needs.

Upstairs, the galleried landing adds a sense of space and character, reinforcing the barn inspired design. There are four double bedrooms in total, two with views that extend towards the hamlet of Huntshaw Water, and two benefiting from ensuite facilities, while the family bathroom rounds off the accommodation on this floor. The bedroom arrangement is well suited to family occupation or visiting guests, offering both comfort and privacy whilst the snug allows for quiet reading area or the chance to watch a different channel from that downstairs!

Outside the established gardens contribute greatly to the overall appeal, creating a settled and attractive setting around the house whilst two terraces, strategically position allow for some al fresco entertaining. Views extend towards the hamlet of Huntshaw Water to the rear, adding to the sense of place, while the double garage connects directly to the house for further practicality. Driveway parking and double glazing complete a property that offers both presence and everyday convenience in equal measure.
