Description - Enjoy the character of a traditional Devon barn with the ease of single-level living and countryside views. Littlewell is a semi-detached conversion with exposed roof timbers, stone elevations and a wood-burning stove creating a welcoming rural home. Converted in 1985 and substantially updated internally in 2005, its open-plan living space connects with a sheltered paved garden and a decked balcony overlooking the surrounding landscape. Two bedrooms, manageable outside space, parking and a carport complete the property, offered with no onward chain.

Accommodation - The entrance opens into a spacious enclosed porch with a timber-clad ceiling and sliding doors to the courtyard. An inner door leads into the central hallway, from which the principal rooms are accessed.

The kitchen, dining and sitting room forms a generous open-plan living space beneath a vaulted ceiling with exposed roof trusses. The kitchen is fitted with a range of wall and base units, work surfaces and a sink beneath the window, with ample space alongside for a dining table and chairs.

The sitting area centres on a substantial stone fireplace housing a wood-burning stove. A stable door opens to the courtyard, while double doors on the opposite side lead onto the decked terrace and frame the countryside outlook.

The hallway also serves two bedrooms, both with windows overlooking the courtyard. The bathroom is fitted with a shower enclosure, wash basin and WC, with tiled walls and a heated towel rail. Hallway cupboards provide useful storage.

Outside - A shared courtyard approach provides parking for two cars, together with a separate timber carport conveniently positioned close to the entrance. The carport offers exciting potential for conversion into an enclosed studio, home office, garden room or workshop, subject to any necessary planning consents and approvals.

The enclosed garden is predominantly paved for ease of maintenance, with stone walls providing privacy and established planting softening the boundaries. Accessible from both the porch and living room, it offers space for outdoor furniture and pots.

On the opposite side of the living space, a timber decked balcony provides a further seating area with uninterrupted countryside views.
