Christopher’s South Hams are delighted to market this superb barn conversion set in the middle of a secluded courtyard as part of the former farmstead.

Description: Exceptionally presented throughout and incredibly distinctive, this cottage offers reverse living to take advantage of its very pretty, rural outlook.

The immaculate entrance hall invites you to the three bedrooms and luxurious shower room, bringing a boutique quality to this fantastic home.

Upstairs, there is a highly impressive open-plan living room with the staircase acting as a clever divider between the sitting room and kitchen.

The kitchen offers a generous amount of storage behind its modern shaker-style exterior; solid wood flooring and a hint of peppermint bring a very fresh mood to this room and there is plenty of space for a large dining table to share time with family and friends.

Showcasing original beams and flooded with natural light, the sitting room provides a lovely area to retreat to, to relax and be able to take in the charming views through the full height windows.

Outside, there is a compact patio to the rear, framed by the boundary wall and housing a timber shed. Please note, that the strip of lawn belongs to the neighbouring farmhouse.

The front of the cottage opens out into the south-facing courtyard where the current owners have a bistro dining set to be able to enjoy this delightful aspect.
