Description

We are delighted to offer for sale this character barn conversion in the peaceful village of Croford between Wiveliscombe, Milverton and Fitzhead.

The versatile accommodation lends itself to flexible use as a four bedroom home with two receptions or as a three bedroom home with three receptions including a home office.

The properties entrance is into the reception/dining room with a spiral staircase up to the mezzanine landing. The kitchen/diner also faces south with French doors to a terrace and access to a rear utility and boot room.

There is a large dual aspect living room with log burner and a ground floor double bedroom with shower room.

One staircase from the living room leads up to the main bedroom with its own wet room. From the large mezzanine landing, there is access to a further bedroom and larger family bathroom.

The property benefits from gas fired central heating and double glazed windows.

The garden is south and east facing mainly level but gently sloping towards the stream. The property has never experienced any flooding. There is a south facing terrace adjacent to the property and the garden is well stocked with mature shrubs, bushes and plants. There is a large stone outbuilding and greenhouse and a walled vegetable garden. There is a gated drive with off street parking for several vehicles, trailers or caravans. There is also a summerhouse by the stream, a shed and woodstore and the gardens wrap around three sides.
