This barn known as South Barn is located amongst a cluster of similar barns at the end of a private lane in the heart of the Carey Valley on the Cornwall and Devon border. It was converted we believe in 2003 and retains a wealth of original features throughout including exposed stonework, wooden floors, beamed ceilings and slate cills. Our clients have resided at the property since 2015 and during that time have made many further improvements and modifications to the home.
Internally, the accommodation includes a split-level welcoming entrance hall that has under floor heating. Our clients have removed a couple of internal walls allowing the hallway to flow naturally into the kitchen which is a sociable and airy space. This dual aspect room has been completely updated and features a centre island which is substantial with room for at least eight place settings. The kitchen is used daily for dining and comes alive during times of family celebration. The worktops are laminated and have matching up stands. There are light charcoal coloured cupboards with corner carousel units and an attractive painted brick fireplace with cupboards featuring an integrated Stoves range style oven and electric induction hob. Included in the sale is an American style fridge, separate freezer and a dishwasher. There is ceramic flooring and both suspended and recessed downlighting. The utility room has a WC within it and a further range of high quality units and plumbed spaces for necessary appliances. The reception rooms comprise of a sitting room which is spacious having double doors to the outside, the stand out feature is the painted brick and wooden fireplace which has an inset wood burning stove.
The family room has a favourable south facing orientation and a light well flooding the room with natural light. There is luxury vinyl flooring, stunning vaulted ceiling and bi-fold doors which access the rear garden. The family room leads through to the dual aspect workshop which has a polycarbonate roof, glazed sides and is currently used as a formal dining room. The adjacent games room has an external door and both the workshop and games room has potential (subject to obtaining all necessary consents) to collectively become an annexe or work from home space. Concluding the ground floor is the fifth bedroom suite which has an en-suite shower room/WC with a double shower and plenty of built in storage.
On the first floor, the long landing has access to all four remaining bedrooms. The second principal bedroom has a range of built in wardrobes and an overhead storage platform. The en-suite bathroom/WC has a shower over the bath. Bedroom two has an en-suite shower room/WC and wardrobe and the remaining two bedrooms have built in wardrobes and share use of the large family bathroom/WC which has a separate shower cubicle and tiled walls. The playroom is very flexible and useful, could be used as an occasional bedroom and has slightly restricted headroom. The rooms on the first floor all have vaulted ceilings with the use in some rooms of roof windows.
South barn benefits from oil fired central heating and external windows are a mixture of wood and UPVC varieties.

A detached outbuilding incorporates a double garage with double doors, power and light. There is an adjacent open wood store which could be enclosed. Two wrought iron pedestrian gates access the inner courtyard with its attractive stone pathway that leads to the front door. There is an electric vehicle point.
