Sheepwash, Beaworthy, Devon, EX21 5PN

This semi detached barn conversion has pleasing elevations of stone and rendered elevations under a slate roof and now offers homely, well presented accommodation throughout.

Approached down a long gravel lane shared with two other properties, which at one time would have been a farmstead, a private drive leads to the barn where there is plenty of parking at the front and this continues around the side to a 5 bar gate which in turn gives access the rear garden and paddocks.

The owners advise under the grass is a former hard track which made taking their pony in and out very easy.

Beyond the front door is a useful entrance hall which is an ideal spot for coats and boots and in turn a glazed door leads into the reception hall which enjoys natural light and has a very useful deep understairs cupboard.

The sitting room is a cosy double aspect room which has an impressive floor to ceiling stone fireplace with inset log burner sat upon a slate hearth with casement doors that open onto the full width gravel terrace and they also allow a lovely view across the garden, to be enjoyed especially as the sun sets.

The downstairs double bedroom with its generous sized en suite is found adjacent and thus gives flexibility to the living arrangements ideal as a guest suite or for someone who wants single story living with guest as upstairs.

The double aspect kitchen/breakfast room offers extensive range of will floor and drawer units with soft close hinges and runners and plenty of work surface.

Appliances include a built in oven and separate grill, a four ring electric hob with extractor above and a dishwasher.

This is a lovely room to eat and entertain in and again has casement doors, like the sitting room, out to the terrace which is an ideal spot for some al fresco entertaining or quiet time watching the sun sets.

A door opens into the utility room which has plumbing for a washing machine, a floor mounted oil fired boiler and door out into the outside.

Stairs from the reception hall lead to a part galleried landing which, with its shape has allowed for especially useful storage cupboards to be built and in one part an area for a study/home office having space for a desk and chair.

Double bedrooms are found at either end of the 18’ landing, one having eaves storage and one having the most a lovely, vaulted ceiling.

The family bathroom is of a decent size having a traditional three piece suite, shower over bath and linen cupboard.

Outside is where this barn excels as over the years the current vendors have created a wonderful formal garden with stocked raised beds, vegetable and fruit garden, and plenty of sheds one of which would work very well as a workshop.

Planting includes lavender, rose, hebe, Bramley apple, blueberry, strawberry, black currant, rosemary, berberis and such.

The formal garden blends seamlessly into the two paddocks with post and rail fencing, a field shelter and to one side a path, allowed to be a wild garden, leads to a secret garden.
