A delightful 4/5 bedroom barn conversion in grounds of approx. 1 acre in this quiet rural hamlet with ample parking, well maintained gardens and easy access to Dartmoor and A30.
SITUATION AND DESCRIPTION
The property is situated in the peaceful rural hamlet of Thorndon, approximately 4 miles southwest of the former market town of Okehampton. As well as being set in a peaceful rural location there is also excellent access to the A30 road network which can be accessed by car within minutes.
Okehampton lies on the northern edge of Dartmoor National Park. It is approximately 30 miles from both the north and south Devon coasts. There are superb local beauty spots where one may enjoy walking, riding, mountain biking and fishing. The shopping area contains several banks and super-markets including Waitrose as well as many interesting locally owned shops. Primary and secondary education is well catered for in the local schools. The recreation ground and park contain, amongst other things, a leisure centre with indoor heated swimming pool, a gymnasium, sports hall, dance studio and cafe. Most sports are available including 18-hole golf course, squash courts, bowls club, indoor rifle range and thriving rugby and soccer clubs.
A superb attached barn conversion of stone construction converted in the mid 1980's. The property has many character features including a superb stone fireplace which is set within the Round House drawing room and wood burner in the living room/dinning with exposed ceiling timbers throughout. The front of the property is accessed over a substantial gravelled driveway with the front entrance door leading into a spacious living/dining room with turning staircase to first floor landing with exposed ceiling timbers. From the living room/dining room there are latch doors leading to firstly an impressive drawing room which was formerly the Round House with feature fireplace and windows to all sides giving some lovely views over the garden and countryside; a well-equipped kitchen/breakfast room with adjoining utility room from which there are stairs leading down to a very useful cellar. Returning to the ground floor there are two ground floor bedrooms which could be used as additional reception rooms or office space and a ground floor bathroom. To the first floor is a light and airy landing with three further bedrooms with some good views to surrounding countryside and a first-floor bathroom. To the rear of the property are level enclosed mature gardens with a wealth of flowers, plants and shrubs and a number of impressive specimen trees. Beyond the gardens is a further area of lawn, fruit trees, fruit cage, raised beds and areas of wooded garden. The grounds total 1 acre and are bordered by well-maintained hedging and fencing. The property is presented to a very high standard both internally and externally. We are delighted to be appointed a sole agent for the sale of this property and viewing is highly recommended.
