EPC Band: E

SITUATION As the name suggests, this striking attached barn conversion sits adjacent to Chipley Manor in an elevated south-facing position atop the surrounding fine grazing and arable farmland. Chipley is located just north of the A383/Ashburton Road, between Bickington and Newton Abbot. The location allows easy access to the A38/Devon Expressway, the bustling market town of Newton Abbot with its mainline railway connection to London Paddington and an array of popular local towns and villages - all with their own individual styles. DESCRIPTION The Grade II listed, Number 1 Manor Barn has been thoughtfully constructed as a home to maximise the height of its rooms, over three sprawling floors. The builders paid close attention to retaining period features, large timbers and fine exposed stonework, creating spacious 'zones' around an open and airy stairwell which allows light to flood into the lower ground floor and the bedroom accommodation above. All of this, combined with the barn's elevated position with open views over the surrounding gardens and pastoral setting, make this a rare find indeed. ACCOMMODATION Please see accompanying floor plan. Access into 1 Manor Barn is through a large west-facing opening, now fully glazed, to the main reception area on the middle floor with a steel and timber stairwell to the other levels. The sitting room stretches the entire length of the middle level with a stone hearth and woodburning stove at one end, allowing for much personalisation. The kitchen/breakfast room and dining hall/second sitting room both have direct access out to the gardens from the lower ground floor, which also contains a useful cloakroom. The first floor is made up of two large en suite double bedrooms at either end, with two further doubles in-between and a sizeable family bathroom. OUTSIDE The gravelled drive to Manor Barns is accessed via a timber 5-bar gate leading to the unique roundhouse carport/garage of Number 1 and provides plenty of parking for several cars. The gardens have separate 5-bar gate from the lane and stretch down the southern and eastern sides of the property with a large paved patio, a bridge over the natural stream and sprawling lawns with a timber garden shed - all surrounded by open farmland.
