Set in a peaceful and rural location, in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, this fabulous and unique light-filled home is perfect for those looking to escape the rigours of busy urban life. Whether as a permanent home or as a holiday getaway, this property certainly won’t disappoint!
Considerable improvements have been made by the present owners with no expense spared with high-quality fixtures and fittings throughout. This delightful residence is full of standout features including spacious open plan living areas with the highlight being the high galleried ceiling and double height exposed chimney. The outstanding far-reaching views over the countryside towards Exmoor and the Bristol Channel can be enjoyed from many of rooms.
The accommodation is arranged over two floors and comprises of 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. The large open plan lounge and dining room is the heart of the home and the wood burner set in the double height chimney provides a focal point to the room and adds considerable atmosphere to this already characterful domain. The staircase from the dining area rises to a mezzanine balcony which overlooks the room and connects to the first-floor bedrooms. The well-equipped farmhouse style kitchen has an adjoining utility/cloakroom room adding practicality and convenience.
There is a king-sized ground floor bedroom, perfect for elderly or disabled residents. Three steps lead up to a well-appointed en-suite bathroom.
Moving to the first floor, the galleried landing is another eye-catching feature, as mentioned earlier. There are three further bedrooms, all with exposed beams and vaulted ceilings which amplify the feeling of space. The master room has its own en-suite shower room whilst the other two bedrooms share their en-suite facilities.
The quality and comfort continues outside where there is parking for 3 – 4 vehicles. The gardens and grounds around the property amount to approximately ¼ acre and extend out away from the property, backing onto open fields and enjoying the superb rural and coastal views. There is plenty of the day’s sunlight and gardens provide a haven for relaxing afternoons and evenings, al fresco dining, barbecues and sun bathing. There is a fire-pit and even a hammock to lay back and enjoy the peace and quiet of these tranquil surroundings. The front garden has attractive raised beds, a vegetable area and greenhouse. Adjacent to the house is a useful large workshop.
There’s plenty to explore in the locale with the fantastic golden sand beaches at Woolacombe, Croyde and Saunton just a short car ride away, with the Exmoor National Park also close by with miles of walking and some breath-taking scenery. The town of Ilfracombe with its picturesque harbour is just 3 miles away and offers plenty of facilities and amenities. Barnstaple, North Devon’s main centre, is approximately 10 miles away and has many of the big-name shops, a rail link to Exeter which connects to the major terminals in London, and direct access on to the main A361 North Devon Link Road which joins the M5 at junction 27.
The Barn is perfect for those seeking a characterful full-time home set in some of North Devon’s finest countryside. Equally, the property would make a successful holiday let cottage generating an excellent annual income if required. We fully advise you register your interest now to avoid disappointment!
Services: Mains electric. Oil fired central heating, (there is also an immersion heater as an alternative). Water via a bore hole, last year the vendors installed a new pressure vessel so that they have their own water feed. Septic tank is the only shared utility with the farm house next door. The access is underneath the large garden decking and was emptied recently. Satellite WiFi via Airband.
Agents note

It includes a king bed snug, kitchenette, electric panel heater and towel rail, lounge area with log burner, en suite shower room with power shower and a number of unique design features.<br/>Applicants are advised to proceed from our office in Ilfracombe High Street in a westerly direction taking the first turning on the left hand side opposite the Co-op into Marlborough Road. Follow this road up for some way passing John Fowlers Holiday Park on the right hand side and continue straight across at the roundabout with Tesco on your left. After approximately 2 miles, at the t-junction turn right and follow the road for a couple of hundred yards. As the road starts to bear round to the right and there is a small crossroad junction, take the turning on the left which is sign posted Keypitts and Berrynarbor. Follow this road down passing Oxen Park Farm on your right hand side and continue for approximately half of a mile. The entrance for Woolscott Barton can be seen on the right hand side and is just a short way before the turning for Keypitts on the left. Once you turn into the unmade driveway, follow it along for a few hundred yards which then brings you to the property. Parking for the barn can be found immediately to the left of the property.
