Property description
DESCRIPTION Approached via a large, gravelled driveway into a courtyard providing ample parking, this spacious and versatile barn conversion sits within a rural location offering some outstanding countryside views. The versatile and generous living accommodation, to include a games room and indoor heated swimming pool, offer much scope for annexe accommodation or conversion of the garages to a work from home space or further living accommodation subject to the necessary permissions being granted.
The property is accessed via steps to the front into an entrance porch and onwards into the reception lobby. This light yet warm and welcoming snug area features a wood burning stove, an exposed beamed ceiling, wall mounted radiator and a roof light and window to the rear. A staircase ascends to the first floor, whilst doors give access to the ground floor accommodation. Four bedrooms are situated on the ground floor all facing the front elevation and benefitting from PVCu double glazed windows and wall mounted radiators. Three of the ground floor bedrooms are doubles, with the fourth an L-shaped room with an additional PVCu double glazed window. A large family bathroom is also found on the ground floor and is fitted with a matching suite comprising corner bath with Mira shower unit over, pedestal wash hand basin and a low level WC. The walls are fully tiled, with a heated towel radiator and two obscurely glazed windows to the front elevation. There is space available between the ground and first floors for the inclusion of a lift, subject to an engineer's report.
The first floor provides the majority of the main reception areas. The spacious kitchen with exposed beams provides space for a breakfast table and chairs, with a window to the front, Velux window and a door to the side giving access to a small breakfasting patio. The room is equipped with a matching range of light oak, shaker style base and eye level storage cupboards with worksurface over incorporating a stainless steel sink drainer unit with mixer tap. A Leisurerange Master 110 cooker with four ring hob and griddle is included. A cloakroom/WC is accessed from the first floor landing and is equipped with a low level WC, one and a half bowl sink unit with mixer tap with the second part of the room divided into a utility area with space for a washing machine, airing cupboard with fitted slatted shelves and a hot water cylinder. The beamed ceiling continues into this room. The delightful sitting room is flooded with natural light with two pitched windows to the front elevation overlooking the surrounding countryside and courtyard to the front of the property. Neutrally decorated with exposed beams, carpeted flooring and an internal door leading to the dining room. The dining room is also flooded with light due to the PVCu roof and positioned to the side of the property with laminate flooring, stairs to the lower level and access to the swimming pool and an additional bedroom. Bedroom five is a spacious double bedroom with a wall mounted radiator, built in wardrobe and a doorway through to an en-suite shower room comprising shower enclosure, low level WC and hand wash basin. Stairs lead through to a dressing room which provides useful storage and hanging space, albeit with limited headroom. A Velux window provides natural light into this area.
From the dining room, stairs lead down to a versatile area currently used as a games room. This large room could easily be used as an annexe with the incorporation of kitchen units, etc. A door leads through to bedroom six with a window to the side, wall mounted radiator and a door to an en-suite shower room. The shower room has fully tiled walls, a walk in shower unit with glazed shower screen, pedestal hand wash basin, low level WC, a wall mounted radiator and an extractor fan.
The swimming pool is accessed from the dining room, main landing or externally via PVCu double glazed doors. This spacious area houses a swimming pool measuring 24'6" x 10'3" with tiled surrounds, seating area, exposed beams, fitted shelving, part PVCu double glazed roof and a wall mounted dehumidifier. A tiled area to the rear offers additional seating, whilst sliding patio doors lead onto a small decked area, perfect for entertaining.
Externally, the property offers a courtyard to the front providing ample private parking leading to two garages, accessed via wooden doors to the front, one is a large double and the second is a smaller single with a storage area above. It is my opinion that both of these garages could be converted to additional accommodation or work from home offices, subject to the necessary permissions. An enclosed concrete patio is found from the kitchen providing a perfect outside dining area. The grounds include a small paddock to the rear and side, a summerhouse including a sauna and fabulous far reaching views across the countryside.
The property is found adjacent to a livery and riding school and has excellent transport links via the A38 to Plymouth and Cornwall. The nearest railway station is approximately two miles away in Liskeard, whilst local beaches at Whitsand Bay are easily accessible.
This versatile and spacious property lends itself to a variety of uses, should appeal to many potential purchasers and should be viewed early in order to avoid disappointment.
