Rural 3 Bedroom barn conversion with stunning countryside views

Situation

Enjoying a truly idyllic setting overlooking the picturesque Umborne Valley, this charming property lies within the East Devon National Landscape.

Description

Originally converted in the late 1980s, this attached stone cottage was designed to take advantage of its elevated position and far-reaching countryside views. Set within the grounds of a Grade II listed farmhouse, the property forms part of its historic curtilage with timber double glazed windows under a man made slate roof.
The accommodation comprises an entrance hall, a kitchen partially open to a bright living room enjoying delightful valley views, and a ground floor bathroom. Stairs rise to the first floor, where there are three bedrooms.

Outside

The property benefits from a generous parking area with space for several vehicles and scope to extend the garden or parking provision, subject to any necessary consents. Steps lead up to a terrace adjoining the cottage, with a lawned garden bordered in part by timber fencing. The outdoor space enjoys stunning panoramic views across the surrounding valley.
