Description

Where Heritage Meets Contemporary Countryside Living

A Timeless Barn Conversion with Breathtaking Views

Nestled on the outskirts of the unspoilt Devon hamlet of Ash Mill, The Granary is a barn conversion that effortlessly marries timeless rural charm with contemporary sophistication. Framed by open southerly views across its own paddock and the rolling Devonshire countryside beyond, this property offers a serene retreat, yet remains within easy reach of the vibrant towns of South Molton, Tiverton, and Barnstaple.

From the moment you arrive via a quiet country lane, the sense of character is unmistakable.

Interiors That Celebrate Character and Light

Step inside, and the character of the property is immediately evident. Exposed stone walls and oak beams create a sense of warmth and authenticity, while slate floors and underfloor heating on the ground floor provide modern comfort. The living/dining room is a sun-drenched space with dual aspects, ideal for entertaining or relaxed family life.

The kitchen harmonises rustic charm with contemporary practicality. Wooden worktops, exposed beams, and part-tiled walls complements spaces for appliances including a range cooker, washing machine, American style fridge Freezer whilst there is an integrated dishwasher and a concealed LPG boiler. A large side window frames sweeping views across the valley, blending indoor and outdoor living.

Upstairs, the bedroom one is a showpiece, featuring the original ‘A’-frame roof truss and a stylish en-suite with tiled walls and flooring, and a luxurious double shower cubicle. Two further bedrooms—one with a mezzanine loft—offer flexibility for family, guests, or home working. The family bathroom combines timber floors, a freestanding bath, and elegant stone detailing, maintaining the property’s balance of contemporary style and rural character.

Gardens, Paddock, and Outdoor Living

Outside, the Granary continues to impress. A fully enclosed garden with level lawn, borders of shrubs and plants, and a gravel entertaining area provide the perfect setting for summer dining or morning coffee in the sun. Across the lane lies a gently sloping, south-facing paddock of approximately one acre—ideal for equestrian use, wildlife, or simply enjoying the surroundings. Parking for 3–4 vehicles, including an electric charging point, completes this versatile outdoor offering.

A Lifestyle Beyond the Home

The Granary is not simply a property—it is a way of life. From sunrise over the paddock to sunset across the valley, every window frames a picture of quintessential Devon. Here, rustic charm meets modern luxury, offering a home that is both practical and poetic—a rare opportunity to enjoy the freedom, space, and beauty of the Devon countryside.
