Higher Weston Farm Barns, Totnes, TQ9

Round House Barn occupies a commanding position above Totnes, enjoying truly exceptional panoramic views across the town, rolling countryside and towards Dartmoor. Originally a Victorian barn, this impressive, detached home has been beautifully converted to exacting standards, combining its character and individuality with a luxurious contemporary specification.

The property offers exceptionally spacious accommodation arranged over three floors and benefits from a Daikin air source heat pump, insulation exceeding current Building Regulations, triple glazing and engineered oak flooring throughout.
Approached via a private drive through impressive stone pillars, the house sits within its own grounds and enjoys a sense of privacy and space.

A spectacular oversized pivot front door, with glazed panels to either side, opens into a large and welcoming entrance hall. There is a useful, fitted cupboard providing excellent storage for coats and boots, together with a stylish guest WC featuring a one-piece stone washbasin and mixer tap.

A glazed door leads through to the inner hallway, where a large window provides lovely views across Totnes. From here, you enter the impressive kitchen/dining room, a superb space designed for both everyday family life and entertaining. The bespoke kitchen provides an excellent range of wall and base units, complemented by luxurious Silestone work surfaces.
The high-quality specification includes a Neff eight-zone induction hob with integrated extractor, Neff coffee machine, two double ovens, microwave and dishwasher. There is also a substantial Siemens American-style fridge with drawer freezer beneath, together with a 40-bottle Siemens wine cooler. A 1½-bowl stainless-steel sink is complemented by a Quooker boiling-water mixer tap. The generous dining area comfortably accommodates around ten people.

Steps rise from the kitchen/dining room to the spectacular round living room, where the vaulted ceiling and curved walls create a truly impressive and distinctive space. Four sets of glazed double doors flood the room with natural light and open directly onto the garden and sun deck.

This is a wonderful room for entertaining, family gatherings and relaxing, while during the warmer months the doors can be opened to extend the living space outside and take full advantage of the panoramic views.

Also on this level is a beautifully appointed family room, featuring a raised wood-burning stove which provides a cosy focal point during the cooler months. It is an ideal space for watching films, reading or simply relaxing.

From the inner hallway, an impressive feature staircase rises through all three floors. With open views between the levels and illuminated treads, it forms a striking architectural feature of the house.

On the garden level, the hallway provides direct access to the garden and leads to the useful utility/plant room. This has space and plumbing for a washing machine and tumble dryer, space for a fridge freezer and an excellent range of fitted wall and base storage.

The double-aspect principal bedroom is a particularly impressive room, enjoying views and direct access to its own private garden. Twin fitted wardrobes, with drawers beneath, flank the entrance to the luxurious en-suite bathroom.
The beautifully appointed bathroom features a large double shower with rainfall shower head, a freestanding bath and twin one-piece composite washbasins with drawers beneath. A full-width mirror incorporates additional useful storage.

At the opposite end of the hallway is a further double bedroom with a stylish en-suite shower room and views over the garden.

The first floor provides three further double bedrooms, all enjoying luxurious tiled en-suite shower rooms, each with electric Velux roof windows providing excellent natural light.

Outside
The property is approached via a private drive through impressive stone pillars, leading to a generous parking area providing space for at least four cars.

A beautifully designed oak-framed open double garage provides additional covered parking, together with a substantial storage room and log store. The building also houses an EV charging point and a useful gardener's WC, while there is potential to create additional attic storage if required.

The Gardens
The gardens are a particular feature of Round House Barn and have been thoughtfully designed to complement the property and make the most of its exceptional position.

At the main living level, a wrap-around garden and sun deck is accessed directly from the living room. Planted with established shrubs and hedging, it provides a wonderfully private setting for alfresco dining and entertaining, while enjoying far-reaching views across Totnes and the surrounding countryside.

A gently sloping path leads to the upper garden, which is principally laid to lawn and adjoins open fields. From here, the views are simply spectacular, extending in a 180-degree panorama across Totnes and the surrounding countryside towards Dartmoor. The elevated position gives a genuine sense of being at one of the highest points overlooking the town.

The garden level has its own beautifully designed outside space, predominantly laid to gravel and cleverly planted to create a relaxed Mediterranean feel. This area is directly accessible from the downstairs bedrooms as well as via a side gate.
