Property description
Detached barn conversion with further detached barn offering potential to develop, all set in an acre! Includes three bedrooms with en-suite to master, vaulted ceilings to first floor including living room, kitchen and dining area, all with oil fired central heating and ample parking.
Bowbeer Barn is a detached barn conversion set among two other converted barns and the main farmhouse, all found on the outskirts of the lovely village of Spreyton (see village description) with easy access to the A30 too. The current vendors are also creating a private lane to serve the barn for the benefit of the next owners (see land plan).
The well-presented accommodation includes three bedrooms to the lower ground floor, with the master enjoying an en-suite bathroom, built in wardrobes and double doors to the garden. There is also a recently installed shower room. The upper level has vaulted ceilings with exposed beams and includes a gorgeous living room with wood burning stove and a separate dining area which is open plan to the kitchen (stainless steel 5 ring, twin oven cooked available by negotiation). The property benefits from oil fired central heating throughout too.
Outside there is ample parking for numerous cars and a caravan/motor home if desired. The level gardens wrap around the property giving you pleasant seating areas. There is also a great sized fish pond with water feature.
“The Orchard” is a field of nearly an acre and this is where the current owners are creating a private lane to serve Bowbeer Barn. The current owners would like to retain as much of this field as possible, but would be prepared to sell part or all of it for the right price.
Outbuildings: Approximately 5m (16ft) from the property is a detached barn of 10m x 5.3m (32ft x 17ft). We feel this offers great potential to be developed and incorporated in the main accommodation or to create a further residential or holiday cottage (subject to necessary permissions).
Spreyton is a pastoral village, a whisker to the north of Dartmoor National Park. The lands here are high and open, with sweeping views, dry stone walls and roving winds. The village is legendary for its connection to the cherished character ‘Uncle Tom Cobley’ of Devon folklore. It is thought that his infamous trip to Widecombe Fair (from the song) may have started in what is now the Tom Cobley Tavern – a family run pub, with a distinctive thatched bar and winner of the 2016 (and 2015) ‘Exeter and East Devon’s CAMRA Rural Pub of the Year’ award. Supposedly, the local churchyard is also the final resting place of ‘Tom Cobley’- but who really knows? Spreyton primary school is small, with a handful of pupils and benefits from attentive, dedicated teachers. For amenities there is a friendly, well-stocked village shop.
