Description

A beautifully renovated two storey detached barn conversion set in a private development with immense charm and no onward chain.

The Property - The Linhay forms part of a small private development of individual cottages once belonging to the former Tythcot Hotel which was converted along with the holiday cottages and outbuildings into residential accommodation some 20 years ago. The property is Grade II Listed and is believed to have been the former stables and hayloft to the inn prior to conversion. In recent years, the current owners have tastefully updated and improved the accommodation on offer. Since 2021 The Linhay has been run as a successful holiday cottage but given its charm and curb appeal it would also suit potential buyers who are looking to put down roots in one of East Devon’s most popular villages.

Accommodation - The well-appointed accommodation has been nicely balanced with good size, spacious rooms which all look out over The Linhay's own garden. The main reception room features a contemporary electric stove and exposed stone walling which complements the neutral décor. There is a spacious kitchen/dining room fitted with a wide range of wall and base units, finished in cream with integral appliances and downlighters. Along with a side entrance there is a useful downstairs cloakroom. To the first floor are two double bedrooms, both with modern en-suite bathrooms finished to a high standard of specification.

Outside - To the front of the property is a low maintenance lawned garden with paved seating area and established shrubs. The garden is well enclosed and features gated access to the southern elevation which leads out of the private development. The property has been allocated a tandem parking bay within the courtyard.

Situation - The Linhay sits centrally within the East Devon village of Chardstock and in walking distance of local amenities. These include a community run post office/stores, parish church and village hall. Chardstock also offers many social clubs, bowls green and cricket club. The adjoining village of Tytherleigh has a popular farm shop and The Tytherleigh Arms, renowned for its quality cuisine. The village is situated midway between Axminster and Chard (4 miles) both of which offer a good range of amenities, independent shops, chain stores and supermarkets. Axminster also has a mainline railway station on the Exeter to Waterloo line. The area around the village is popular for walking and riding. The Jurassic heritage coast at Lyme Regis and Seaton is some 10 miles to the south.
