Zeaston, South Brent

AT A GLANCE
For those seeking the quintessential equestrian lifestyle, Orchard Barn presents a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial character barn conversion with an exceptional equestrian offering.

THE PROPERTY
Orchard Barn presents a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial character barn conversion with excellent equestrian facilities. Occupying a peaceful and private position in the hamlet of Zeaston, the property combines generous family accommodation, attractive gardens and just over six acres of pasture with a thoughtfully designed range of facilities for horse and rider.

The property is approached along a long private driveway shared with just two neighbouring properties. Ample parking is available in front of the detached double garage, while mature trees and established boundaries create an attractive and secluded setting.

ACCOMMODATION
A welcoming entrance lobby, with an adjoining cloakroom, leads into the impressive sitting room. Its vaulted ceiling creates a wonderful sense of space, while a wood-burning stove provides an inviting focal point. This generous room is equally well suited to relaxed family living and entertaining.

Glazed internal doors open into the spacious kitchen/breakfast room, which is fitted with a comprehensive range of modern units and integrated appliances. There is ample space for family dining. The bedroom accommodation comprises five well-proportioned bedrooms, two of which have en suite shower rooms, together with a well-appointed family bathroom.

A practical utility and boot room provides useful storage and direct access to the rear courtyard, making it particularly well suited to country and equestrian life.

OUTSIDE
The private gardens are predominantly laid to lawn and enclosed by mature, tree-lined boundaries. A summer house provides an appealing place from which to relax and enjoy the attractive garden setting.

The detached double garage is complemented by extensive driveway parking, with additional space available for larger vehicles.

EQUESTRIAN FACILITIES
The equestrian facilities are among Orchard Barn’s defining features and have been carefully arranged to suit both leisure and competitive riders. An enclosed stable yard incorporates four loose boxes, a hay barn and a holding paddock. The yard also provides generous parking and turning space for horseboxes, trailers and agricultural vehicles.

The gently sloping, well-draining pasture extends to just over six acres and is divided into two main paddocks and additional smaller paddocks. The main paddocks benefit from their own water supply, while a field shelter provides further flexibility. A 20m x 40m all-weather arena is positioned at the top of the driveway and benefits from separate field-gate access. Excellent hacking is available directly from the property, with quiet country lanes, bridleways and the open moorland of Dartmoor National Park all within riding distance.
