Description

ABOUT THE PROPERTY

Pound Barn represents a superb four/five bedroomed detached converted barn of stone elevations beneath a slate roof. The adaptable accommodation boasts charm and character with well proportioned rooms extending to over 3000 sq ft, including the adjoining double garage. What really makes the property special are the gardens, grounds and impressive lake meticulously managed with a variety of established shrubs, trees and beds providing year round colour whilst adjoining unspoilt countryside.

Approached from the country lane on the outskirts of West Buckland a shared access leads to the private brick paved parking area and to the garage. The property is located on the most southern side of a traditional former farmstead which was historically divided and sold off from the estate and despite close neighbours, you feel exceptionally private and secluded, whilst just 200 yrs from the village. In all, the grounds at Pound Barn extend to about 2.76 Acres.

The spacious accommodation comprises, on the ground floor; large entrance hall, open-plan well appointed country style kitchen/breakfast room complete with Aga and pantry, ample space for dining table together with French doors leading out. Adjoining, is a rear entrance hall, utility room and cloakroom. The main entrance hall leads to the large separate dining room, office/bedroom and an almost 50' sitting room, partly divided over two levels with two sets of French doors leading out. The first floor provides four bedrooms, master with en-suite bathroom together with a separate family bathroom with shower over. The two southerly bedrooms enjoy balconies with a superb outlook.

For layout and approximate room measurements please see the enclosed floorplan and refer to the Virtual Tour.

THE GARDENS

Approached from the country lane, a large initially shared entrance leads to a private brick paved parking area for several vehicles and to the adjoining double garage with power and light connected.

Wonderful established and predominately lawned gardens adjoin the southerly elevation with delightful views across the large lake and island, flanked with mature trees and shrubs enjoying seclusion and privacy. A lawned circular path borders the lake. Contained within the grounds are a variety of timber buildings and a fruit cage. Adjoining the sitting room is a sandstone paved patio area. The gardens and grounds are a particularly attractive element of the property providing year round colour and a true gardeners dream.

In all, the grounds at Pound Barn extends to about 2.76 Acres
