Description
Presented for sale is this attractive three-bedroom detached barn conversion, which has had planning permission granted to extend further and sits in approximately 2 acres of total plot.

Chapmans Barn is a beautifully presented detached home set in the peaceful rural surroundings of Stibb Cross, North Devon. Offering the perfect blend of character, comfort, and future potential, this spacious three-bedroom property sits on approximately two acres of land, making it ideal for families, hobby farmers, or those seeking a countryside retreat. Inside, the home boasts generous accommodation including a bright open-plan living and dining space, a well-appointed kitchen/breakfast room, and a master bedroom with en-suite facilities. The layout is both functional and inviting, ideal for modern family living or entertaining guests.
A standout feature of Chapmans Barn is its significant potential for expansion.

This versatile structure offers exciting possibilities for conversion into guest accommodation, a home office, gym, workshop, or even a holiday let—subject to the necessary permissions.

Combining rural charm with modern potential, Chapmans Barn presents a rare opportunity to secure a flexible, spacious home in one of Devon’s most attractive settings. Whether you're looking to move in and enjoy the space right away or invest in its long-term potential, this property offers something truly special.
