Description

AT A GLANCE
A beautifully appointed five-bedroom detached barn conversion with a self-contained annexe, indoor swimming pool and private gardens, within walking distance of Wonwell Beach.

THE PROPERTY
Great Torr Barn is an impressive South Hams residence occupying a private position within the highly regarded coastal village of Kingston. Approached via a gated driveway, the property offers substantial and versatile accommodation arranged over two floors, complemented by a detached one-bedroom annexe, double garage and generous parking.

The property combines attractive period features, including exposed beams, vaulted ceilings and natural stone detailing, with light-filled interiors and a practical layout suited to modern family life, entertaining and multi-generational living.

Detached from the main house, the self-contained annexe provides valuable additional accommodation and could be used for guests, extended family, home working or studio space.

ACCOMMODATION
The welcoming entrance hall leads to four generous double bedrooms on the ground floor. These include the principal bedroom, which benefits from an ensuite shower room and direct access to the gardens. A well-appointed family bathroom, utility room and cloakroom complete this level.

The first floor is centred around an impressive open-plan sitting and dining room, where vaulted ceilings and exposed beams create a wonderful sense of space. An exposed stone fireplace forms a focal point between the two areas, while the windows frame views across the surrounding countryside.

The adjoining kitchen is fitted with a good range of units and work surfaces, together with a breakfast bar and space for appliances. A further double bedroom with a vaulted ceiling, countryside outlook and ensuite shower room completes the main accommodation.

GARDEN & GROUNDS
Great Torr Barn is set within private, level and thoughtfully landscaped gardens. A generous lawn is surrounded by established planting and mature borders, while several terraces provide attractive areas for outdoor dining and enjoying the gardens throughout the day.

A heated indoor swimming pool with shower facilities offers an excellent year-round leisure amenity, with views across the surrounding gardens creating a calm and private setting.

The property is approached via a gated driveway providing generous parking for residents and visitors, together with access to the substantial double garage.

LOCATION & SITUATION
Great Torr Barn is situated within Kingston, a sought-after South Hams village known for its strong community, rural surroundings and proximity to the South Devon coastline.

Wonwell Beach is within walking distance and offers an unspoilt stretch of sandy shoreline, rock pools and access to some of the South West’s finest coastal walking routes. The nearby market town of Modbury provides a range of independent shops, cafés, restaurants and everyday amenities, while Kingsbridge offers a broader selection of facilities and services.
