DESCRIPTION
Presently the land, which encompasses roughly half an acre, is split into two separate plots. The first plot comprises of a detached 3 bed barn conversion with Master en-suite and having been recently modernised throughout. The second plot, which is midway through construction, will be a subterranean 5 bed dwelling with Master en-suite, three further en-suite double bedrooms, large open plan Kitchen/Diner/Lounge, with a sunken integral courtyard.The ideal opportunity for any developer who wishes to be based on site, someone looking to possess Torbay's most unique new development, or anyone wanting a new house with a possible rental or holiday let property.

ACCOMMODATION
The Barn's accommodation comprises of a spacious Kitchen/Breakfast room in immaculate condition with a central island and a range of integrated appliances, plus a light and attractive Dinning room connecting the Kitchen to the Lounge. The Lounge itself is quite imposing at over 29 feet in length and features dual floor to ceiling double glazed windows offering ample natural light and an outlook over the inner courtyard. Living accommodation comprises a Master En-Suite with two further double bedrooms and a modernised Bathroom.


Outside there is a driveway leading to an inner courtyard offering parking for 2/3 vehicles, and to the rear of the property a large patio area connects to a lawned garden, leading away into a wooded area with a stream forming the left hand boundary.


The Development, which is currently midway through construction, will be a subterranean 4/5 bedroom dwelling which has been granted planning consent. The accommodation will comprise 5 Bedrooms with Master En-Suite, a large open plan Kitchen/Dining area/Living Room, 1 further Reception room, Bathroom, Separate WC and Store Room. The development will appear non-existent (as in accordance with planning) although outside there will be a large strip forming a sunken internal courtyard in the middle of the dwelling with a balustrade surrounding the opening. The grounds will be lawned over the top of the dwelling and there is a large driveway leading to the property offering parking for 4/5 vehicles.

BARN GARDENS
Sprawling away into the wooded conservation area, the grounds consist of a large patio off the rear of the barn leading to a level lawn rolling down to a fresh water stream which meanders alongside the boundary.

NEW DWELLING
The new dwelling will be one of a kind in Torbay, being a fully a subterranean property. Due to its location within a conservation area, planning was granted subject to the dwelling having a minimal impact on the surrounding neighbourhood and the character of the woodland, hence it's subterranean plot.The dwelling is split into two underground halves; one the sleeping accommodation, the second the living accommodation. These are split by an inner sunken courtyard allowing ample natural light in.

CURRENT DEVELOPMENT
The plot has been dug out and construction is well underway with one half already having the roof on and successfully backfilled, the remaining half needs it's roof and to be backfilled. Plumbing is in and the general feel of the property is present. Walking around you get a good feel of the space that the dwelling will possess and you are left pleasantly surprised at how light the property will be due to floor to ceiling windows throughout.
