Barn Conversion, Land and Lake

The Granary and ‘Honeycomb Barn’ are nestled in some of North Devon’s most attractive and un-spoilt countryside, located three miles  from the traditional Devonshire village of Bradworthy and four miles from the popular village of Woolsery (Woolfardisworthy) with an excellent range of amenities including primary school, local shop/Post Office, garage, church, sports and community hall, pub and restaurant and fish and chip shop.

Description

This a rare opportunity to acquire a duo of character detached properties set in a rural location with private enclosed land and gardens surrounded by rolling farmland and woodland. This is the first time The Granary has been on the market in this connotation as the current owners bought the dilapidated grain barn over 20 years ago as a much loved project from the neighbouring farm. In their tenure, they have transformed the barn into a delightful cosy home, landscaped the gardens and recently created ‘Honeycomb Barn’ from the cattle barn into ancillary accommodation for family members.

The property is located along a quiet lane away from main roads, with an initially shared driveway with few near neighbours. From the gated private entrance, the driveway passes the front of The Granary and ‘Honeycomb Barn’ to meet the entrance to the gardens, grounds and parking area.

The land in total amounts to approximately 2.8 acres including the lake and several outbuildings comprising summerhouse, workshops, studio/games room, garaging and dilapidated stables, once updated would be ideal for equestrian buyers. There are beautiful formal gardens and a stunning lake complete with a fishing lake house and central island accessed by a wooden bridge.

The Granary and ‘Honeycomb Barn’ would be ideal for buyers looking for a rural escape, either seeking a property with annexe potential to accommodate two families/dependent relative or land for horses or a smallholding.

The Granary

A detached stone, period barn conversion with a slate tiled roof and delightful views towards the gardens and countryside beyond. There is a large conservatory that leads into a cosy sitting room with a gas feature fire with steps up into the kitchen and step down to the formal front entrance porch with UPVC door. The kitchen/breakfast room has stairs rising to the first floor and a door into the second bedroom/dining room with a door out to the lane.

On the first floor, there is a double bedroom with built-in wardrobes, en-suite bathroom, airing cupboard and access to the original external staircase.

The garden looks out onto a shaded courtyard ideal for pot plants.
