For Sale5 Bedroom Detached Barn Conversion in Brentor, Tavistock, Devon, PL19£950,000

A beautifully presented barn conversion in 1.87 acres with views over unspoilt Dartmoor countryside. Holyeat Farm has an almost unique view looking out across a landscape of lush green fields separated by thick hedgerows overlooked by the towering granite mass of Brent Tor. The tor, with its surrounding remnants of an Iron Age hill fort, is surmounted by the stark yet beautiful 13th century granite Church of St Michael de Rupe, which legend has it was paid for by an early medieval merchant after nearly being shipwrecked and which was used as a film location for the ITV version of Jamaica Inn. The property was created from two impressive period barns built of local granite under a slate roofs. The accommodation is laid out with the reception rooms, kitchen and a large, balustraded sun terrace on the upper floor to get the best possible vantage point for the view. The interior is contemporary in style whilst capturing the building’s origins through a clever combination of oak flooring and joinery throughout much of the property alongside exposed roof timbers and an exposed granite wall in the secondary stairwell. The property has a southeast/northwest axis and the upper floor has windows on both sides and therefore captures the best of the available natural light. This orientation combines with generous room sizes and tall ceilings to give the house a wonderfully light and airy feeling. The upper floor has two rooms: a superb, combined kitchen and living room incorporating a vaulted ceiling and glazed central stairwell and a sitting room fitted with a log burning stove and windows and glazed doors looking out to the sun terrace and view. The kitchen has a generous dining area and is fitted with gorgeous, contemporary-style units including a central island, granite and timber work surfaces and a good range of built-in electric appliances. The bedroom with its en suite dressing and shower rooms plus, four further bedrooms and three bath/shower rooms, one of which is en suite, are all on the ground floor. Outbuildings, Garden and Paddock Holyeat Farm is approached off a little used, narrow lane via a gravelled driveway that leads on to a gravelled parking area, where there is space for several cars. On the far side of the parking area facing the house is a timber-clad garage block that incorporates a double garage and home office with attached plant room and log store. Behind the garage block is the fenced kitchen garden which contains several raised beds and a soft fruit cage. Immediately in front of the barn is a paved terrace that leads to a further extent of gravel fringed with lavender that currently serves as an additional outside dining area. Beyond this is the garden, which slopes gently away from the barn and is designed to be easily maintained. It is primarily lawned with one large shrub border set against a line of broadleaf trees. Below the garden is a sloping paddock containing a field shelter. The paddock is bound by stock-proof fencing and mature field hedging and has it’s own water supply from a bore hole. In all the grounds extend to about 1.87 acres. Agents Note Our client owns the adjoining barn which may be available for sale. Please speak to the agent for more details.
