We couldn’t believe it when we viewed Brookford Lodge and it was everything we’d been looking for and more!”    Can you recall the moment you knew it was “the one”?“The moment we drove through the gates I was optimistic. It was such a unique design and such a private house yet in the heart of a pretty village. When I stepped inside, the high ceilings made it feel spacious and airy. It felt so homely I was literally picturing our furniture in each room. It was definitely ‘the one!’.”Following those first impressions, how has your connection deepened over time, things like the architecture, the setting, the atmosphere and experiences all play a part?“Brookford Lodge has grown and adapted with us over the years, allowing us to easily embrace each new stage of life and occasion. The kitchen has been the heart of our family home, and it made perfect sense to add a playroom off the kitchen when the children were young, which became a great place for them to invite friends as they grew older. As the girls became teens, they took over the entire top floor, so they had their own space and privacy. What was once the nursery became a guest bedroom with en-suite for friends and family.”Tell us a little about the home’s history. Have you made any changes or additions that you feel have enhanced its character or functionality?“When we moved in, the garden was just a field. It’s been wonderful over the years to see how it’s grown and matured. The woodland area provides a fabulous habitat for birds and hedgehogs. We added a small patio near the pond, which captures the morning sun and is the perfect place for breakfast, and the BBQ area is great for gatherings with family and friends.”Is there a particular feature or detail that holds special meaning for you?“The hot tub has been a great addition to the garden. Sitting, chatting to friends and watching the sun set has been fun. But watching my toddlers learning to swim is a particularly special memory for me.For my husband, the office and studio having its own entrance, separate from the house has been invaluable for working from home.”Which spaces do you find yourself gravitating to most, and why?“Our open plan kitchen is where we have spent most of our time as a family. When entertaining and preparing food, it’s easy to stay involved in the conversation. With the games room just off the kitchen, the children could play and still be connected.”How does your home make day to day living feel special? Whether it’s morning light in the kitchen, cosy evenings by the fire, or garden views that never get old?“I love all of the windows at Brookford Lodge - it is such a light and bright home, with many of the rooms having dual aspect. The garden faces south, so from daybreak until dusk, all the rooms are flooded with light. Sitting on the decking, listening to the birds and looking down the garden always feels special. It’s like being on holiday every day!”What time of year does the property feel most magical, and why?“All of the seasons here have their own special meaning. We love the bluebells that carpet the woodland area to mark the start of Spring. Summer is fabulous; the patio area is a sun trap, so we’re outside a lot, on the decking area or in the hot-tub! In Autumn and Winter we light log fires in the fire-pit and cook chilli and jacket potatoes, especially for bonfire night. Perhaps the most magical of all is Christmas. The living flame fire flickers in the sitting room. We always have a large Christmas tree from the local Christmas tree farm in Threapwood, and the whole family gathers to celebrate!”For families, what do you feel makes this such a wonderful place to raise children?“Worthenbury is a very safe and friendly village. Halloween is a special time in the village, where most of the neighbours are happy to welcome the door to door ‘trick or treaters’. At Christmas, the local farmers organise a ‘Tractor-Run’ where they decorate their tractors and drive through Worthenbury and other local villages in convoy, collecting donations for charity. The village hall has pizza and wine and the whole village turns out in support. There is a play park in the village, with a small cycle track where our children learnt to ride their bikes. There are also some great schools – Malpas has the Alport primary school and Bishops Heber secondary. Abbey Gate College is a short drive and there is a local school bus to The Kings School or The Queen’s school for girls in Chester.The garden is great to explore and is enclosed on all sides. We kept chickens, geese and had ducks on the pond. There are some great walks around our local area, down winding country paths.”How would you describe the lifestyle on offer?“I’d say it’s a perfect mix of peace, tranquillity and everything a countryside location has to offer, combined with easy connectivity to schools, the city and transport links.”Are there favourite local spots, cafés, pubs, restaurants, walks, hidden gems etc that really capture the spirit of living here?“There are lots of fabulous country pubs, but we love the ‘The Boat’ at Erbistock, such a pretty 17th century inn set beside the river Dee. It is tucked away and it took us a while to discover it!  The ‘Lost Barn’ in Tilston is fabulous for coffee and breakfast. We are also members of Carden Park which is  just a 20 minute drive away and has a world class spa and golf club, great gym facilities and a lovely swimming pool.”What about local events or venues for entertaining family and friends?“Bangor-on-Dee racecourse is a 10 minute drive from Worthenbury and is a great day out. Alderford Lake is also local and has a wonderful café, lots of water-based activities all year round and several festivals. My husband enjoys mountain biking with friends in Llandegla.”Can you share a remarkable or meaningful moment that truly sums up your time in this home?“Bringing my first-born home and showing her around the house, and in a flash, marking high-school graduation with Pre-Prom parties in the Garden under a Marquee with champagne flowing. It’s been a blast!”What do you think the next owners will fall in love with most?“Brookford Lodge is such an adaptable house, the next owners will be able to make their home anything they want it to be. The flexibility to have multi-generational living, a family home or an exceptional house to entertain in, Brookford Lodge has it all.For anyone who loves peace and privacy and is looking for a countryside lifestyle yet with all the advantages of the proximity to lots of amenities, look no further!”As you prepare to move on, what will you miss most and what will you take with you in your memories?“We will both miss the garden and especially the birdsong, the local area and the friends we have made. Brookford Lodge has managed to adapt to everything we have needed with room to spare!This house has been the backdrop for the story of our lives. We hope the next owners love it as much as we have.”Additional Information Services: Mains electricity and water. Private drainage.

I fell in love with the property the minute I saw it advertised and immediately bought it six years ago. It has been the favourite of all my previous homes in a wonderful community. However, life moves on and I am confident that the new owners will get as much enjoyment out of it this wonderful house, the village and the community as I have. It has been a wonderful home for me and my children and the house and patios lends themselves to entertaining friends and family. The individual “zones” provide intimate spaces to relax or and socialise. Memories of the laughter-filled dinner parties, summer garden parties and barbeques, with the music from the piano in the drawing room drifting through the house, will live with me always. I love the quirkiness and history of the property but I have also valued that internally the house has everything you might need for modern day living. The only enhancement I have made was to further extend the drawing patio with steps to an upper level patio and garden. My commute to London for work is relatively quick and the train services from Wadhurst or Tunbridge Wells is reliable and efficient. Parents are spoilt for choice with the many outstanding private schools in and around East Sussex and Tunbridge Wells, which also include some high performing grammar schools. I love the quiet and peaceful environment at the heart of the medieval village of Mayfield. With its thriving independent shops in the high street, which is a place of gathering for the village to celebrate various events such as the annual Bonfire Society parade, an acclaimed international music festival, Spring fair, Passion Play enactment, that bring the community together socially. There is a plethora of attractive and varied medieval and other period properties, with the high street buttressed by the grandeur of the Bishops Palace first built in 1250 on permission from Pope Alexander IV, now the acclaimed Mayfield Convent School for Girl, as well as pubs and restaurants and the historic 13th century church, St Dunstans, Mayfield’s very own saint. It has a variety of sports and social clubs. The delightful shops including a superb deli, baker, butcher, florist, coffee shop, local convenience store and post office. The village is surrounded by vineyards with many producing world-class English sparkling wines, wine and spirits, some of which are available in the outstanding wine shop in the high street. You can get most essentials and many non-essential items in the village but there is also nearby Heathfield and Crowborough with their supermarkets while Tunbridge Wells is less than 10 miles away for more in depth retail therapy and and entertainment.”

If your dream is to live in a fascinating and characterful property on the edge of a charming and popular village with stunning rural views, this fabulously quirky six bedroom residence could be top of your list. Historically a seed merchant’s premises and previously a bed and breakfast with an antique shop, it was originally built in the Georgian era and still retains some wonderful period features. However it has been stunningly but sensitively updated by the current owners as a spacious family home and includes the option to create part of the property as a separate annexe for family members or as a holiday let. As soon as you see the interesting front facade with its original ground and first floor external doors where the sacks of seed used to be delivered and stored as well as the bay and multi-pane sash windows and traditional slate roof you will be eager to see what the inside has to offer.The primary front door opens into an entrance hall with a period staircase to the first floor and access to the versatile ground floor accommodation. This includes an impressive 28ft kitchen and breakfast area and features herringbone oak parquet flooring and a wide central archway creating a delightful open plan feel. Family and friends can sit round a table enjoying a meal in the charming breakfast area with its large bay window and original half height fitted cupboards flanking a lovely open fire with an attractive surround and mantlepiece. While the contemporary kitchen includes an inset range cooker with an induction hob,  very smart shaker dark blue style units with marble resin worktops housing an integrated fridge freezer and dishwasher as well as a peninsular breakfast bar and lovely views over the rear garden and the surrounding countryside.There is also a large cellar where you can store your favourite wines and steps down to a spacious fitted boot room with storage units and wide French doors to the rear terrace. A charming snug is just the place for the family to relax in front of an open fire while the adjacent study with the original shop window and fitted book shelves providing a delightful working environment.A separate front door opens to a secondary staircase that leads to a large landing on the first floor as well as a to a utility room with the original vast barn doors to the street that can also be accessed from the snug.

It leads to the impressive games room that is large enough for a full size snooker table while still leaving space to incorporate a bar and seating or a well-equipped gym.It would be possible to adapt this whole area to create a separate single storey annexe, however the first floor landing also includes stairs to the second floor where you will find three charming air conditioned double bedrooms. These have vaulted and beamed ceilings and en suite facilities including one with an integral bathroom, another with a shower room and the third has a cloakroom.  So it would be easy to create an alternative three storey annexe for holiday lets or adult children, while still leaving the vast lounge/diner and games room available for the whole family.There is an impressive multi-pane sash window on the main staircase half landing providing excellent countryside views. The first floor features a fabulous luxury family bath/shower room with a central copper and brass slipper bath, a double shower, large fitted cupboards and an original fireplace.

The beautifully maintained grounds include extensive garaging, an all-weather tennis court, octagonal summer house, gym with shower room and 45 ft modern barn - offering an exceptional combination of versatile family space, leisure amenities, and peaceful country living.Sellers Insight:‘Around 20 years ago, while we were developing the nearby barns and crew yard, we had the opportunity to build Granary House as our family home. Our aim was to create a sociable and welcoming family home, both inside and out, somewhere our children and grandchildren could enjoy growing up and enjoy spending time together.’‘Internally, we wanted a balance between large sociable spaces for family life and entertaining such as the kitchen-dining room, lounge and snooker room and quieter spaces such as the sitting room / library and the study with their beautiful bay windows to work and relax.’‘It was important to us that the house seamlessly connected to the gardens, so we installed a huge number of French doors to fill the house with light and make the most of the changing views through seasons. The house has a huge sunny, south facing terrace to the rear which can be accessed from the lounge, dining room, snooker room and bar. Then to the front of the house we have a private, walled central courtyard which is accessed from the kitchen/dining room, hallway and entrance. The house is very spacious yet practical and welcoming, whether seeking sunshine or shade during the day or a roaring fire in the evening, there is always the perfect place to sit.’‘Granary House is of modern construction, with insulated cavity walls and solid floors and staircase, built to an exacting standard and finished with bespoke joinery and quality materials – reflecting our belief in ‘doing it right the first time’. Over the years we have continued to care for and update the property; the principal en-suite bathroom was refurbished a few years ago, and the tennis court is currently being repainted.’‘Over time, we were fortunate to purchase additional land to secure our privacy. The grounds now extend to 6.2 acres and include a large lake, mature woodland and countless places to explore. Within the grounds we built an octagonal summer house and what I call the ‘Witch’s Cottage’ with a folly to keep the grandchildren entertained.’‘The tennis court and gym has been a super investment for all generations, and the extensive garaging is ideal for a car enthusiast, offering space for up to four vehicles. A further 45ft steel portal-framed barn provides further versatile storage for machinery or kit.’‘The setting is very peaceful and rural and we enjoy a wealth of birds and wildlife including a few visiting deer. When you sit out on the terrace and look across the lake to the trees beyond, you feel a million miles from anywhere, and yet in reality everything you might need is no more than a stone’s throw away, and that’s the real beauty of this location. Next door, Torksey is home to the highly regarded Lincoln Golf Club and has a coffee house and doctors surgery and for everything else Lincoln and Gainsborough are just a short drive away.’Key Features:• Exceptional six-bedroom family home, set within 6 acres (STS) of mature grounds • Built to an impressive standard, offering around 6,870 sq.ft of high quality accommodation • Located in a private position in the hamlet of Brampton, just 12 miles from Lincoln • Idyllic setting surrounded by formal lawns, mature trees, large lake & additional grassland • Tennis court, gym, summer house, extensive garaging and 45 ft modern barn • Light filled, detached house featuring French doors throughout • Stunning double height reception hall with sweeping solid staircase • Six generous en-suite bedrooms to the first floor including impressive principal suite • 26 ft kitchen/dining room with 4 x French doors, exposed beams & Velux windows • Elegant 27ft lounge with French doors either side of the central fireplace • Formal dining room with three sets of French doors & gas coal effect basket fire • Sitting room with large bay window, bespoke cabinets & gas coal effect fire • Lounge features an attractive polished metal fire surround & gas coal effect fire • Central hallway with a series of impressive arches & five sets of French doors • Striking double height stone bay windows to the rear • Hallway French doors open to the central, walled courtyard with water feature • Galleried landing with bespoke display and storage cabinets • Smeg range cooker with tiled splash back and integrated dishwasher and fridge • Separate utility with American style fridge freezer and space for appliances • Study with large bay window • Snooker room with four sets of French doors and gas coal effect basket fire • Snooker room has doors to a separate bar room • Bar features open fireplace, corner bar and French doors to the terrace • Ground floor WC • Principal bedroom with large bay window overlooking the gardens • Principal bedroom features ensuite bathroom & fitted dressing room • Enclosed, flood lit tennis court – repainted September 2025 • Detached brick built outbuilding with gym, shower room and WC and garaging • Garaging space includes four bays and a workshop • Octagonal summer house • Detached 45 steel framed portal barn with roller door and 2 x pedestrian doors • French doors and velux windows in kitchen dining room all double glazed • Wooden framed leaded windows with secondary glazing to the lounge • Children’s playhouse in the grounds • Formal gardens to the front of the property with attractive water feature • Vast, sunny terrace with low wall to the rear of the property leading to the formal lawn • Long gravel path covered by a attractive wooden pergola with variety of climbing plants    • Large pond with decking area surrounded by mature willow trees • Vegetable garden • Ample parking • Fire Alarm and Security System fitted and regularly maintained.Location The small, rural hamlet of Brampton is located just under 8 miles from Gainsborough (to the north) and 12 miles from the City of Lincoln (to the southeast), both providing a wide range of shopping and amenities.For direct commuting to London, there are regular trains from Lincoln to London Kings Cross (train journey approximately 2 hours) and Retford (train journey approximately 90 mins).The nearby village of Torksey and neighbouring Torksey Lock provide various amenities, including a local pub and a coffee house, as well as a doctor's surgery.

Not only does this area give a safe and wide boundary from the road, it provides a substantial double gated driveway for vehicles to enter and exit without needing to turn around. The block paved drive sweeps up to the front of the property around a semi-circle planted bed of established trees and shrubs, bordered by planting and newly replaced fencing on all sides. Contemporary Canted bay windows, graphite grey frames and white render, with a chimney stack rising above an open gabled roof: these features combine in the initial view of The White House. It is a large property and has been extended to provide a unique layout. There are two matching composite front doors in a modern design. The first allows immediate, independent entry into the left side of the house where a lengthy utility room is alongside the open kitchen/diner. The second front door is the main entrance point and is framed by a columned portico, above which a balcony is accessed from one of the largest bedrooms through French doors. Once inside the entrance hall, the fresh neutral colour palette for the entire interior decoration of the house is clearly seen: muted greys, fresh whites and occasionally a contrasting darker shade of blue or black, creates a coordinated scheme. The White House has been completely rewired and has had a new heating system fitted, including three combination boilers. This has meant that everywhere has been redecorated, and in this process internal flooring and doors were replaced. The property has full 360 degree CCTV, air conditioning and a security system - fitted in September 2022 - which can be operated remotely through a mobile phone.

Similarly, the lounge benefits from dual aspect windows and is generously proportioned. This room is carpeted and provides a flame effect feature fire below the wall mounted television. Furniture can be imaginatively used to zone the areas and presently a formal dining table has been placed to appreciate the garden views while eating. It is through double doors that the next combination of rooms open to provide a games room, gym, shower room and fully heated swimming pool.The games room comfortably holds a full sized snooker table, which comes complete with the property. It is next door to a room used as a gym, shower room and plant room for the pool. The pool is less than 2 years old and has four bi-folding doors opening onto the privacy of the patio. Measuring from three feet to six feet at its greatest depth, it is a luxurious addition to the house and has its own convenient shower room only a few steps away. It is worth noting that if ground floor accommodation is required, the room used as a gym could easily become another bedroom or office space. It has a side door for independent access.The kitchen hubThe island kitchen/diner is as coordinated a component of this house as any other of the beautifully spacious rooms. The White House is very much the blue print for comfortable, contemporary living and the kitchen is designed to be practical and easy on the eye. Subtle lighting, splash back underground tiling, a run of black granite worktops and light grey units at floor and wall level with smooth brushed steel handles, provide a great space to prepare food and relax with family and friends.

INTRODUCTIONSet within approximately two acres of idyllic South Hams countryside, Harbourne Valley Farm presents a rare and versatile lifestyle opportunity on the edge of the sought-after village of Harbertonford. Combining the charm of a characterful 200-year-old farm house with the flexibility of a beautifully converted barn, this unique offering is perfectly suited to multigenerational living, income generation, or those seeking a peaceful countryside retreat with exceptional adaptability.The principal farm house is deceptively spacious, offering three-bedroom accommodation rich in warmth and character, while the detached barn conversion—thoughtfully converted in the early 2000s—provides an additional two/three-bedroom residence with its own distinct personality and style. Complementing the accommodation further is a detached garden studio, ideal for home working, creative pursuits, guest overflow or wellness space.Surrounded by rolling countryside and enjoying a tranquil yet highly convenient setting, Harbourne Valley Farm captures the essence of rural South Devon living. The property enjoys excellent access to the wild beauty of Dartmoor National Park, the stunning South Hams coastline and beaches, whilst remaining within easy reach of nearby market towns and commuter routes connecting across Devon.The versatility here is exceptional. Whether utilised as two independent homes for extended family, as a home with ancillary accommodation for holiday letting or income potential, or reconfigured into one substantial residence (subject to any necessary consents), Harbourne Valley Farm offers a lifestyle opportunity rarely found in such a well-connected countryside setting. There is also potential opportunity to acquire additional adjoining land, further enhancing the appeal for those seeking a smallholding, equestrian potential or simply greater privacy and space.Both homes enjoy their own unique charm and atmosphere, creating a wonderful balance between period character and modern country living in one of the South Hams’ most desirable village settings.SELLERS INSIGHT“When we found Harbourne Valley Farm, we knew almost immediately that it was something incredibly special. We had spent over a year searching for the right setup for ourselves and my parents, but everything we viewed seemed to offer a lovely main house with only a very small annexe attached. What we really wanted was two proper homes — equal in size, quality and comfort — where we could all enjoy independence whilst still being close enough to support one another. That proved surprisingly difficult to find, until we arrived here.Moving from London, we were searching for a completely different pace of life — the ‘good life’ people dream about. We wanted space, countryside, nature and somewhere our son could grow up surrounded by the outdoors. Watching him explore the land, enjoy the wildlife and simply have the freedom to be outside has been incredibly special for us as a family.Of course, we wanted views too — who doesn’t? But equally, we didn’t want to feel completely isolated. Harbourne Valley Farm somehow manages to strike the perfect balance. You feel wonderfully private and immersed in the countryside, without feeling cut off from the world. There’s such a peaceful atmosphere here and a real sense of quiet enjoyment. Even though the property is conveniently positioned for easy access in and out of Totnes and the surrounding area, once you are within the grounds it feels remarkably secluded and calm.We absolutely love being just five minutes from Totnes. It’s such a vibrant and spirited town with so much character. My parents especially love being close to the Dartington Trust — they are members there and spend so much time enjoying the grounds, café and art programmes. Having that nearby has become a huge part of their lifestyle here.The setup of the homes has worked brilliantly for us. We each have our own space and independence because the properties are detached, yet we are close enough to help one another whenever needed. It has been the perfect multigenerational arrangement.The privacy here is also something we’ve always appreciated. The electric gates and long driveway create such a wonderful sense of arrival and security. You never have people passing your front door, and once you’re home, you really do feel tucked away in your own peaceful world.This home has given us exactly the lifestyle we hoped for when we left London — space, freedom, nature, family connection and a sense of calm that is very hard to leave behind.”STEP INSIDE THE FARM HOUSEThe original farm house sits proudly in front of the barn, overlooking an attractive garden and adjoining open farmers’ fields, immediately capturing the quintessential charm of an English country home. Constructed from beautiful rendered stone and dating back over 200 years, the farm house enjoys an unmistakably picturesque appearance, perfectly in keeping with its idyllic South Hams surroundings.A welcoming entrance porch opens into the heart of the home, where the farm house’s warmth and character are immediately apparent. The principal reception room centres around a striking dual-sided fireplace set within a painted exposed stone wall, creating a natural focal point enjoyed from both the main sitting room and the adjoining snug or reading room beyond. These connected spaces offer a cosy yet sociable atmosphere, ideal for quieter evenings or relaxed entertaining, while the surrounding windows frame delightful views across the gardens and countryside beyond.Stairs rise from the reception room to the first floor, while a doorway leads through to the dining room where the true scale of the farm house begins to reveal itself. This in turn flows into a generous country-style kitchen, thoughtfully fitted with modern cabinetry and warm wooden worktops that complement the home’s period character beautifully. The kitchen provides ample space for everyday family life whilst maintaining a timeless countryside aesthetic.Beyond the kitchen, a useful utility room offers additional practicality with direct access to the courtyard, alongside a well-appointed shower room ideally suited to muddy boots, dogs returning from countryside walks or visiting guests. Throughout, the interiors have been tastefully and neutrally decorated, allowing the charm of the farm house itself to take centre stage.Upstairs, the farm house continues to impress with three comfortable double bedrooms, each enjoying peaceful outlooks across the surrounding countryside and grounds. A well-presented family bathroom serves the accommodation, completing a home that successfully blends period character with practical modern living.Despite its charming farm house façade, the property offers surprisingly generous accommodation throughout, creating a home that feels both intimate and spacious in equal measure.STEP INSIDE THE BARNThe detached barn conversion offers a wonderful contrast to the traditional farm house, blending rustic architectural character with a more contemporary, almost art deco-inspired aesthetic. Converted in the early 2000s, the barn has been thoughtfully designed to celebrate volume, light and texture, resulting in a home that feels both creative and inviting.At its heart is a striking principal reception room where exposed stone walls, warm wooden flooring and a corner wood burning stove combine to create an atmosphere that is both cosy and dramatic. A concealed cloakroom allows the design to remain clean and uncluttered.From here, the accommodation flows naturally into the impressive split-level kitchen and dining space, undoubtedly one of the barn’s standout features. Beautifully arranged with modern country-style cabinetry and tiled flooring, the kitchen balances practicality with character. A few steps rise to the elevated dining area where the full architectural impact of the barn is revealed. Soaring vaulted ceilings, exposed timbers and an expansive feature window flood the space with natural light and frame enchanting views across the surrounding greenery, creating an uplifting and highly sociable environment for both everyday living and entertaining.The barn’s versatility continues from the living space to a room, rich in character with exposed stone walls, this flexible space could serve equally well as a bedroom, second reception room, studio or guest accommodation, with direct access leading through to the garden room and out into the surrounding grounds.Upstairs, the principal bedroom enjoys a wonderfully peaceful outlook, with doors opening onto a Juliet balcony perfectly positioned to take in the far-reaching countryside views — a beautiful scene to wake up to each morning. A second bedroom, complete with cabin bed and Velux window, adds further charm and practicality, while a well-appointed family bathroom serves the first-floor accommodation.Throughout the barn, there is a wonderful interplay between old and new; exposed beams and stonework sit comfortably alongside clean contemporary finishes, creating a home with immense personality, warmth and flexibility.STEP OUTSIDEApproached from the road through electric gates, a long private driveway passes the grounds on either side, past generous parking areas—including an additional parking space positioned towards the top of the driveway—with the paddock to one side and gardens to the other, creating an immediate sense of arrival and rural seclusion.The farm house itself enjoys a quintessentially charming setting, fronted by a neat lawn enclosed by traditional stone walling and complemented by a delightful seating area perfectly positioned to enjoy the tranquillity of the surroundings. An external stone staircase rises to the former hayloft, currently providing excellent storage space, yet also offering intriguing potential to become integral to the cottage accommodation, subject to any necessary consents.Connecting the farm house and barn is a shared courtyard. Equally suited as a sociable communal area or capable of being adapted to provide greater separation and privacy between the two residences if desired, this central courtyard creates a wonderful flow between the buildings. Additional tucked-away seating areas are dotted throughout the grounds, each thoughtfully positioned to capture the sunshine and take in the beautiful countryside views at different times of day.The gardens continue to unfold around the barn conversion, where a lawn extends to the side and rear, creating an idyllic outdoor setting for entertaining, family gatherings or quiet relaxation. A raised decked terrace provides an elevated vantage point across the surrounding landscape, perfectly placed for evening drinks, outdoor dining or simply appreciating the peaceful rural outlook.Beyond lies the garden studio, complete with power, lighting and a shower room, offering exceptional versatility. Whether utilised as guest accommodation, a creative studio, home office, wellness space or holiday let potential, it provides yet another layer of flexibility to this already highly adaptable property.The acreage extends predominantly to the eastern side of the property, creating a wonderfully natural environment ideal for outdoor enthusiasts, families, smallholding aspirations or simply those seeking space and freedom. A blend of meadow and open grassland has been thoughtfully maintained with pathways cut through the land for gentle walks and exploration, while a small area of woodland further enhances the sense of privacy and connection to nature. From many points within the grounds, there are far-reaching countryside views that reinforce the feeling of being immersed in the South Hams landscape.For buyers seeking even greater acreage or lifestyle potential, the adjoining land is understood to be owned by a local individual who may be open to discussions regarding the sale of additional land, presenting an exciting opportunity to expand the holding further if desired.USEFUL INFORMATION:THE FARM HOUSE Gas central heating Private water Private drainage Freehold Council Tax: EPC:THE BARN Electric heating Private water Private drainage Freehold Council Tax: EPC:
