SITUATION & DESCRIPTION
The rambling, hillside garden of High Barn is full of intrigue and set in just under 3 acres. As you meander through the tree lined paths accompanied by the butterflies, your sense of adventure draws you to explore the varying sections of the garden. The mixed woodland of oak, ash sycamore and pine is awash with bluebells and wild flowers in spring time and continuously home to wildlife including rabbits, badgers and foxes. As you leave the woodland you arrive at a more formal lawn gently brushed by the hanging branches of a picturesque weeping willow. Sat under the verandah at the front of the house with the wisteria offering shade you can watch the birds popping down for their daily feeds, regular visitors to the garden include goldcrests, nuthatches, woodpeckers, blackcaps, bullfinches, jays and many robins, tits, blackbirds, chaffinches etc.. The tropical garden is hidden behind a sea of bamboo but opens into the most delightful lawn surrounded by a variety of tropical plants growing within a quarry face giving a sense of history.
While sitting in the top corner of the field watching the cattle grazing in the fields over the valley, you would be forgiven for thinking you are on the southern slopes of Provence all that is missing is the vines. Time passes quickly as you bask in the sun on a hot summer's day admiring the flight of a buzzard overhead. The current owners have created two vegetable plots, the first of which is close to the house for ease of maintenance and includes a cage for soft fruits. The larger vegetable plot is located in the field to make the most of the southern aspect. Both areas have been kept organic with the use of natural fertilisers as nature intended.
Converted some 40 years ago and architecturally designed for the current owners, High Barn is a unique property with character and charm. Offered for sale with the property is a detached stone barn which currently comprises a former hayloft on the first floor which is used as a studio, and on the ground floor is a large double garage with workshop beside. (Planning permission may be obtainable for conversion of this barn into ancillary accommodation and enquires should be direct to South Hams District Planning Authority on 01803 861234 in this respect). High Barn itself is an attractive building and has an imposing high glass awning along the front of the property. The accommodation is laid out in a practical fashion and features a comfortable living room, dining hall which is ideal for entertaining and a kitchen with Rayburn. On the first floor are four well proportioned bedrooms and an unusual galleried loft. The ground floor has underfloor, electric central heating and on the first floor are back up electric heaters. The property has particularly attractive and unusual window frames which are of Douglas Fir.
Ermington is one of the most popular, South Ham Villages. It has a public house and restaurant. There is a primary school and church and the village is surrounded by the glorious, South Hams Countryside. Effectively the last house in the village, one can walk out of High Barn into the surrounding countryside and the meadows alongside theRiver Erme. Located approximately three miles from the A38 Expressway access at Ivybridge, Plymouth can be reached in approximately twenty minutes and the county town and Catherdral City of Exeter in approximately forty-five minutes. The town of Totnes is around 10 miles distant and the delightful beach at Mothercombe is approximately ten minutes drive away.
To locate the property from the Wrangaton exit of the A38 (from the direction of Exeter), follow signposts to Ugborough and Modbury. After approximately 1 mile, turn right at Kitterford Cross. Proceed along this road for approximately 4 miles until Ermington is reached.
