Description

This exceptional, detached barn conversion offers a wonderful combination of character, comfort and modern living, set in a private rural position with far-reaching countryside views.

Beautifully designed and thoughtfully presented, the property retains an abundance of character including exposed beams, stone flooring, a solid oak staircase, galleried landing and impressive vaulted ceilings. Generous room proportions and an abundance of natural light create a warm and welcoming atmosphere throughout.

The spacious entrance hall provides access to the principal rooms and stairs rise to the first floor. The well-appointed kitchen features stylish modern units and is complemented by a useful utility room, while the dual-aspect dining room provides an excellent space for both everyday family life and entertaining.
A particular feature of the ground floor is the direct access from all the main rooms onto the extensive tiered patio, which runs along the length of the property. This creates a wonderful series of outdoor seating and entertaining areas, all enjoying the peaceful surroundings and far-reaching views.

Upstairs, the impressive main reception room is centred around a log burner and thoughtfully arranged to create two distinct living areas. There is a cosy snug, together with a superb sitting room featuring vaulted ceilings, skylights and French doors opening onto a generous timber decked sun terrace.

There are three spacious bedrooms, complemented by stylish en-suite facilities and well-appointed bathrooms, providing comfortable accommodation for family and guests alike. A separate home office offers an excellent space for those working from home and could, if required, also be used as a fourth bedroom.

Outside
The grounds are undoubtedly one of Meadow Barn's greatest attractions. Extending to approximately two acres, they provide an exceptional degree of privacy and include established gardens, lawns, mature trees, shrubs and planting.

A spring-fed wildlife pond and paddock add to the appeal, offering plenty of scope for keeping animals, hobby farming or simply enjoying the wonderful open space.

The extensive tiered patio provides a number of attractive seating areas, bordered by colourful flower and shrub rockeries, making it an ideal setting for outdoor entertaining or simply relaxing and taking in the beautiful surroundings.

A private driveway leads to the property, with a large area of hardstanding providing ample parking and useful space for boat storage. A double garage provides further valuable storage and parking.

Overall, Meadow Barn offers a rare opportunity to enjoy a peaceful rural lifestyle in a beautifully private setting, whilst remaining within easy reach of the South Hams coastline, estuaries and popular towns.

Situation
Meadow Barn is situated in a peaceful rural location between the popular villages of East Allington and Blackawton.

Blackawton has a strong and active community, with a well-regarded primary school, church and public house. The village is surrounded by beautiful rolling countryside and is conveniently positioned for the stunning beaches, coastline and estuaries of the South Hams.

East Allington is also a popular village with a strong community, offering a public house, church, recreation ground, primary school and pre-school.
