Description

Tucked away at the end of a shared driveway, is this charming stone-built barn conversion offering an inviting blend of rustic character and contemporary comfort. The barn is currently holiday use only.

Approached through a discreet entrance with shared driveway parking for a couple of vehicles, the property enjoys an appealing sense of seclusion whilst remaining perfectly positioned for village life and the beauty of the surrounding countryside.

Upon entering, you are greeted by a welcoming hallway that leads to three well-proportioned double bedrooms. The master bedroom is particularly impressive, benefiting from its own en suite, thoughtfully designed to provide a calm and private retreat. The remaining two bedrooms are served by a stylish shower room, ensuring convenience for family or guests and maintaining a harmonious flow throughout the home.

The living accommodation unfolds gradually over gentle levels, creating natural separation between spaces while preserving an open and connected feel. The kitchen and dining area form the heart of the home, combining exposed stonework and contemporary fittings to deliver both character and practicality. Steps lead down to a comfortable lounge, a cosy and tranquil setting ideal for unwinding at the end of the day, its layout enhancing the sense of charm that runs throughout the property.

Outside, the barn enjoys delightful private gardens, fully enclosed by fencing to provide a safe and peaceful haven. The grounds offer a selection of attractive seating areas and mature planting, along with a picturesque pond that brings a sense of serenity to the outdoor space.

Together, the house and gardens create a unique and exceptionally inviting home, perfectly suited to those seeking countryside living with character and comfort in equal measure.
Head out of Barnstaple along Bear Street towards Bratton Fleming and Goodleigh. After a short distance, turn right into Goodleigh village. Continue through the village, passing the pub, and just over halfway along turn left onto Northleigh Hill. Follow the road as it rises, where the property will be found on the right-hand side, marked by a slate name plaque reading ‘The Byre’.
