Outside: the barns are approached over a long private driveway which enters a privately owned forecourt where the drive accesses the various barns, all of which have slate screed parking areas. The gardens are predominantly to the rear and each barn has its own private garden area enclosed by hedging and all enjoying views over the surrounding fields and countryside. Down below the barn is a large field enclosure dropping down the valley side to a woodland boundary at the bottom of the valley. In all the barns are set within approximately 6½ acres of ground and field. DESCRIPTION A varied and extremely attractive range of rustic stone and brick barns, each of which have been beautifully and tastefully converted in sympathy with the original structure. The barns occupy a delightfully tucked away rural setting with an elevated position that affords far reaching, panoramic views over the surrounding valley and countryside with some distant views to the sea. Approached over a long private driveway all the barns have parking areas to the front with private garden areas to the rear. The barns provide a variety of accommodation with Hay Loft being the biggest barn providing a vast drawing room with doors opening onto decking in the back garden, a huge kitchen/dining/family room with well equipped kitchen area, four bedrooms (one of which is currently used as a storeroom), two en-suites and a family bathroom. Long Barn has accommodation arranged over three floors providing three bedrooms with two bathrooms and a huge semi open-plan living area comprising a large kitchen/dining room with slate
3 flagged flooring and well equipped kitchen and a lovely sitting room with a high vaulted ceiling, exposed trusses and woodburning stove. Cow Barn is detached and more modern in its presentation, having been converted in 2015, now providing lovely character features such as exposed stone and brick walls and internal joinery. Ceramic tile wood effect flooring features in the main reception areas which comprise a lovely sitting room with windows overlooking the garden and a delightful kitchen dining room which is well equipped. At the other end of the entrance hall is a large double bedroom with beautiful en-suite bath/shower room. South Barn is the smallest barn at one end of the complex enjoying a delightful sitting room, kitchen/dining room and a bath/shower room with steps up from the main living area to a delightful mezzanine double bedroom. This is the perfect opportunity to acquire a home with an income as all the barns have full residential planning enabling any of them to be lived in full time whilst the others could then provide further space for relatives/friends or, as is currently the case, provide a lucrative lettings income. For those purchasers who don t need one of the barns as a residency, all four barns could produce lettings income, which is how they are currently utilised. In all the barns are surrounded by approximately 6½ acres of garden, parking area and a field. LOCATION This will be a coveted location by many, in some ways having the best of all worlds with a delightfully tucked away, peaceful, rural environment enjoying lovely views out over the surrounding countryside towards the sea and enjoying close proximity to the north Cornish coast with easy access to the fantastic surfing beaches at Widemouth and Bude both within a short drive. The nearby village of Stratton provides for day to day requirements whilst within a further two miles, on the coast is the resort town of Bude providing a wide array of leisure, commercial and retail facilities, a delightful canal and river which meets the Atlantic ocean with sandy beaches in the estuary mouth and further beaches available on the coast to both north and south. There are lovely cliff top and coastal walks to be enjoyed along this rugged coastline, popular for bathing and fishing as well. The hinterland to the town of Bude is predominantly open farmland and countryside with rural hamlets and villages, dissected by a myriad of footpaths and bridleways providing lovely walks. The nearby A39 (the Atlantic Highway) provides swift road access northwards into Devon tracking the coast providing access to further beauty spots and southwards follows the coast down to the coastal resorts of Rock, Polzeath and the fishing village of Padstow. The A3072 provides a main road route across county from Bude to Holsworthy to Okehampton where it joins the A30, which provides a dual carriageway link all the way into Devon and the city of Exeter where it joins the national motorway network. To the north on the Devon coast are further well renown surfing resorts in Bideford Bay at Westward Ho, Braunton, Croyde and Woolacombe all within an easy drive.
