Description
Luscombe Maye are delighted to bring to market this excellent opportunity to develop a detached stone barn into a spectacular five/six bedroom, four/five bathroom home. Set within generous gardens with ample parking, the property sits in the Longcombe Valley in a peaceful rural, yet well connected location.
The Approved Full Planning application plans offer reverse level living, with the ground floor arranged to include two well proportioned double bedrooms and three generous ensuite bedrooms with walk-in wardrobes, all enjoying a warm southerly aspect and plenty of natural light throughout the day. This level also features an impressive vaulted entrance hall, creating a bright and welcoming first impression, with double doors opening directly onto both the garden and courtyard to provide a strong connection to the outside space.
On the first floor, the layout includes a versatile bedroom or study, a further bathroom, and a light filled kitchen/breakfast area enhanced by roof lights and glazing from the entrance below. The spacious living and dining room enjoys large gable end windows that frame views across the garden, ensuring this upper level living space feels airy and open, whilst also benefiting from access to the sunny raised terrace. A useful utility room with further storage completes the downstairs accommodation.
The barn is set within a semi rural environment with easy access to both Totnes and Torbay, and benefits from private drainage situated nearby (service charge applies) along with plans to upgrade the existing corrugated roof to natural slate. Externally, the design incorporates two main terrace areas, additional hardstanding and generous parking, providing ample outdoor space and flexibility for modern family living.
