Broadhempston, Totnes

Luscombe Maye are delighted to bring to market this attractive two-bedroom barn conversion, set within approximately 3 acres of land. The property enjoys a peaceful rural setting, with paddocks, gardens and wildlife-rich grounds, together with stables and outbuildings. Further enhancing its appeal, planning permission has been granted for an annexe, offering excellent potential for additional accommodation or ancillary use.

Surrounded by open countryside, the grounds provide a perfect setting for equestrian enthusiasts and those seeking a tranquil rural escape. The impressive pond enhances the natural beauty of the landscape, creating a serene haven for wildlife and outdoor enjoyment.

The barn conversion offers a spacious and welcoming kitchen/dining room, creating an ideal hub for everyday family life and entertaining alike. A comfortable sitting room enjoys attractive views across the surrounding countryside, while a practical utility room and ground floor WC add convenience to the accommodation.

Stairs rise to the first floor, where two beautifully light-filled bedrooms benefit from vaulted ceilings, enhancing both the sense of space and the property's inherent character. The principal bedroom provides a peaceful retreat, featuring exposed timber flooring and an open-plan ensuite bathroom area. The second bedroom is a generous and versatile space, currently arranged as a bedroom and study, that also enjoys an ensuite bathroom. The landing itself offers a flexible area suitable for home working, study or hobbies, complemented by ample storage.

The extensive outbuildings provide exceptional versatility and currently comprise two stables, a mare and foal box, workshop, and a covered seating area. A further wing of the barn benefits from planning permission for conversion into a self-contained annexe. Works already completed include block work, insulation and reinforced roof timbers, offering an excellent opportunity to create additional accommodation for multi-generational living, guests, holiday letting or home-working purposes, subject to the necessary consents.

The approximately 3-acre grounds are a particular highlight, featuring a productive home-grown garden with raised beds, leading through to an open paddock and a lower paddock with a nature walk and substantial wildlife pond. Despite its tranquil and secluded setting, the property lies within the sought-after village of Broadhempston, allowing easy access on foot to the village shop, pub and local amenities, whilst retaining the privacy and charm of a rural smallholding.

Offering both immediate enjoyment and future potential, this unique property is ideal for purchasers seeking a lifestyle home with flexibility, space, and scope to further enhance its already impressive attributes.

BROADHEMPSTON 

The property is located in the rural village of Broadhempston, a sought after village with a strong community spirit and a good mix of people. It lies about six miles north of Totnes and away from main roads, giving it a rural character. It dates from Saxon times and has good local facilities including a thirteenth century church, a primary school, two pubs (the Monk's Retreat and the Coppa Dolla) and a shop/post office. Totnes is known as an Elizabethan town but has much earlier origins with a castle, a wonderful position on the River Dart and a main line railway station. It has a well-regarded community college, full range of shops, a weekly market and a wide choice of cultural facilities.
