SITUATION Combe Farm Barns are situated in the heart of rolling South Hams farmland just under a mile from Ashford, a quiet picturesque village astride a tributary of the River Avon. It is within easy reach of the A379 and almost equi-distant Modbury and Kingsbridge, both of which offer an excellent range of shops, services and facilities. The pretty village of Aveton Gifford is just under two miles or so to the South whilst Plymouth with its road, rail and air links is some 15 miles to the West. DESCRIPTION Converted in 2000, the accommodation is imaginatively arranged over three levels and affords a wealth of individuality and character. Of particular note is the dual-aspect sitting room, which has a vaulted ceiling with galleried landing/study over, whilst at lower ground floor level is a dining room and well-fitted kitchen, both of which have Indian slate floors, with the latter having a utility/boot room off. It has an oil-fired, under-floor heating system and a central vacuum cleaner system which is linked to well placed inlet points throughout. Probably the principal features of the property, though, are its position, and the garden to the rear.
