THE Old Barn is a detached barn conversion of particular character and quality in glorious rural surroundings enjoying exceptional views of the surrounding countryside.

The property is situated on high ground and approached by a lone driveway shared with one other property. Because of its elevation, the property enjoys panoramic views over a wide expanse of unspoiled countryside.

Shirwell is regarded as a desirable village with a thriving community. Facilities include a primary school, church and a village hall. While enjoying a rural position, Barnstaple is less than ten minutes away.

The Old Barn was converted by the current owners for their own occupation in the late 1990s and is a property of high calibre. The barn presents stone elevations beneath a slate roof with double glazed windows and doors throughout.

A conversion has been sympathetically undertaken to combine the comforts of 21st century living with character features with the extensive use of oak and timber. The resulting accommodation is bright, spacious and versatile.

The vast majority of the accommodation, amounting to

over 3,000 square feet, is situated on the ground floor. The property is entered via an oak front door leading into an entrance vestibule which boasts Chinese slate flooring.

A door leads to the entrance hall which is open plan and also incorporates the dining room with a large window enjoying lovely views.

The dining room has access via a ladder to a loft room which has the potential for additional accommodation subject to the necessary consents.

From the hall are double doors and galleried steps leading to the drawing room. It is a fine double aspect room with a lofty vaulted ceiling with exposed A-frames. Large picture windows flood the room with light as well as provide ample opportunity to enjoy the beautiful countryside views.

The drawing room has a stone fireplace with a beam above housing a log burner.

Oak French doors lead to the front garden and a staircase provides access to the first floor.

The study has a fitted beech block work bench with shelving underneath and a window to the rear. The kitchen/breakfast room is a splendid triple aspect room in a hand-painted cream theme. It boasts polished granite and oak work surfaces incorporating ample draws and cupboards beneath.

Fitted appliances include a Belling country chef range incorporating electric ovens and a fivering ceramic hob as well as a further dishwasher and fridge.

Chinese slate flooring runs through to a utility room with plumbing for a washing ma-

chine and space for a larger fridge freezer.

Four bedrooms are on the ground floor. The first bedroom has a range of hand painted, fitted wardrobes and benefits from an en suite bathroom. The third and fourth bedrooms also benefit from built-in wardrobes with the fourth bedroom also enjoying an en suite bathroom.

A separate family bathroom is also on the ground floor, with a panelled bath and a built in linen cupboard.

Stairs from the drawing room lead to a first floor sitting room which alternatively could be used as a family room or a fifth bedroom. This room has two Velux windows and built-in seating giving extensive storage to one wall.

The property is approached over a private driveway shared

with one other home. There is an entirely private entrance which rises to the front of the barn providing ample parking and turning space.

Another driveway then leads onto a range of former farm buildings centred around a yard, including a garage, a workshop and two barns.

There is the potential to convert the barns to stabling if necessary.

The gardens and grounds are an undoubted feature of this property, amounting to slightly less than eight acres in total.

Just within the private entrance is a large pond and adjacent shrubbery rising up to the side of the property to a terrace.

To the rear of the property is a discreet kitchen garden. The front garden is attractively landscaped with a raised

gravel terrace leading to a level area of lawn.

Across the drive, steps lead town to the amphitheatre garden which has been landscaped to the current owners. It follows the valley down via a meandering pathway edged by lawns and boasts many trees, shrubs and a water feature cascading into an ornamental pond.

A decking area and a summer house overlook the pond and a barbeque area is adjacent. There is an orchard area and many well stocked beds and borders.

The remainder of the land is arranged as three paddocks, making this property ideally suited for lovers of equestrianism.

The Old Barn is a truly wonderful property in the heart of the countryside.

EDITOR’S PICK ›Goats Hill House, Northam THIS spacious, beautifully secluded, five-bedroom home is set within its own park-like gardens and grounds of more than four acres, with incredible riverside views.

The fabulous arts and crafts style residence has been tastefully contemporised while retaining many of its stunning original features and character. The property commands breathtaking views over the River Torridge to the south and enjoys views from the grounds over both Appledore and Instow to the north.

Goats Hill House was originally built in the 1920s for a well-known local artist who was connected to the Burton Art Gallery in Bideford. It was featured twice in Ideal Home magazine, in both 1925 and 1938.

The property presents rendered and coloured elevations beneath a tiled roof, which was originally thatched, but replaced with tiles in 1954. The tiles follow the contour of the roof and are understood to have won a roofing award.

The truly unique property stands in a very private elevated position, virtually surrounded by National Trust land. It is secluded within gardens and grounds of just over four acres and maximises its position, with everchanging views in almost all directions.

The accommodation is at the end of a private driveway, accessed via an electronic gated entrance which ensures complete privacy. Glazed French doors lead into the huge conservatory which is an undoubted feature of the property, wrapping around the east and south elevations and enjoying stunning river and countryside views. The conservatory comprises two distinct areas – a sitting and a dining area – with further double doors leading out to the garden and outside entertaining area.

A separate reception hall has herringbone oak flooring and a cloakroom off. The drawing room is a lovely dual aspect room and makes the most of the views. It benefits from underfloor heating and a wood burning stove.

The dining room is a characterful dual aspect room with a bay window

to the front elevation which enjoys fine views and floods the room with light. Character features include exposed ceiling beams, wood panelling and an open fireplace.

The kitchen/breakfast room comprises a good range of matching wall and base units with ample appliance space. The room has attractive flagstone flooring while a walk-in storage cupboard and a further pantry provide plenty of storage space. A bay window to the rear is the perfect place for a dining table, and a wood burning stove gives a cosy ambience.

A separate utility room has excel-

lent storage space and room for further appliances, as well as slate flagstone flooring. There is a cloakroom off. A further office/family room also has slate flagstone flooring and lovely river views.

Stairs rise from the hallway to the first floor landing which is spacious and has room for seating. Five bedrooms are found on the first floor. The master bedroom is a splendid triple aspect room with fabulous views. It benefits from oak flooring and a range of built-in furniture. An en suite bathroom has a multi jet shower.

The second and third bedrooms en-

joy dual aspects with great views as well as built-in wardrobes. The fourth bedroom has an en suite shower room and the fifth bedroom overlooks the garden. A family bathroom enjoys a large walk-in shower cubicle.

The property is approached via an electronic gate which leads to a long driveway providing generous parking and turning. Two car ports, another parking area and a timber outbuilding adjoin the driveway.

Arguably a very attractive feature of the property is its park-like gardens, amounting to more than four acres. The grounds have been de-

signed to take full advantage of the southerly aspect and to enjoy the spectacular river and countryside views.

Designed for ease of maintenance, the gardens boast a range of woodland walks and strategically placed lookouts enjoying panoramic views.

There are various seating areas throughout, with water features, ponds and a waterfall creating a tranquil ambience.

Goats Hill House is a truly unique and spacious property in a fabulous and peaceful location. £1,100,000 Jackson-Stops & Staff: 01271 325153

LITTLE HILL SOUTH Instow ݣ800,000 Webbers: 01237 472344

LITTLE Hill South is a substantial and attractive grade two listed house with splendid far reaching views at Instow.

Little Hill South was original built in 1863 and has been in the ownership of the same family since 1922. While requiring some updating, the five-bedroom property boasts an abundance of original character including fireplaces, ceiling coving, flagstone floors and a beautiful turning staircase.

Most of the rooms have impressive tall ceilings and the property also benefits from half an acre of gardens. There is also the potential to create a separate annexe subject to the necessary consents.

The coastal village of Instow sits on one bank of the River Torridge with splendid views across the water to the

pretty fishing village of Appledore, which the property makes the most of due to its elevated position. It is home to the North Devon Yacht Club and has excellent local facilities, including a range of popular inns and restaurants, galleries and a thriving local shop with post office. There is a wide sandy beach and extensive sand dunes close-by.

The house is approached through a pair of gates and up a sweeping drive to an area of parking for several vehicles. At the front of the home is a grand pair of pillars with established wisteria above. A pretty tessellated tiled floor leads to the front door which opens to a lobby. In the hallway are some built-in cupboards, a door to the wine cellar, a cloakroom and doors to a secluded internal courtyard and

the rear courtyard which has a number of useful brick built outbuildings.

The dual aspect sitting room has period coving, an attractive fireplace and a wide bay window enjoying far reaching estuary views. The dining room also has a bay window, a period fireplace and built-in alcove cupboards. Next to the sitting room is a study which has built-in bookshelves and also enjoys estuary views.

At the rear of the house is the kitchen, which has matching units, grade two listed open shelving and a dresser. Opposite the kitchen is a utility room with a butler’s sink and a gas boiler.

Completing the downstairs accommodation is a useful pantry with the original built-in storage cupboards. A

modern wet room has been recently installed.

The beautiful turning staircase leads to a long landing with built-in linen cupboards and a loft access hatch. The spacious dual aspect master bedroom enjoys far reaching estuary views towards Appledore and boasts an original fireplace. The four further bedrooms are all well-proportioned and enjoy period fireplaces.

Also on the first floor is a bathroom with a roll top bath and a separate cloakroom.

To the side of the property is a former stable which is currently used as a workshop, with the old coach house and a hayloft above. This space could be converted into a separate annexe or be integrated into the main accommodation, subject to the neces-

sary consents. The property sits within a plot of approximately half an acre and is surrounded on three sides by delightful mature gardens. At the front is a sloping lawn and a gravelled terrace area which makes the most of the estuary views.

A path leads up the side of the property to the elevated garden which has further wonderful views as well as a large vegetable plot with a greenhouse. There is an area of wild flowers with some fruit trees and a secluded terrace with stone seating is tucked away in the far corner. Steps lead down to the outbuildings and cobbled courtyard behind the house where there is an old wooden garage.

Little Hill South is a grand property with great historical interest and benefits from lovely views.

Blurring the boundaries

Using coherent design themes for open-plan living helps inside and outside blend together

W

ith many contemporary design trends encouraging us to achieve a clutter-free aesthetic in the home, it’s no surprise that an increasing number of people are attracted to open-plan living schemes.

Creating one seamless space out of rooms that would otherwise be separate, such as the kitchen, dining and living areas will make the most of the space you have available and if you introduce a consistent interior theme throughout too, it will result in a sense of cohesion being achieved across your entire home’s décor.

2

As the weather begins to show signs of improvement, a key trend has emerged this spring by way of indoor/outdoor living.

This has led to open plan schemes that naturally extend to the garden, connecting different spaces in the home to make alfresco living; perfect as we approach summer. For this reason, there is no time like the present for me to show you how to successfully blur the boundaries between your homes interior and garden, bridging the gap between inside and out.

When creating an open-plan living scheme, many people opt

to use the same flooring throughout as it allows the different spaces to flow effortlessly from one to the next, and this idea can also be applied to the garden area too. Don’t get me wrong, I am not suggesting a carpeted patio area or wooden decking in your living room, the good news is, there are flooring solutions that work across both domains!

Porcelain tiles are a great option to help blur the boundaries between inside and out, and they can be used on both floors and walls. Such tiles are extremely hard-wearing and very easy to clean, making them the ideal solution for use in high traffic areas where there is greater risk of wear and tear.

Porcelain is also frost-proof, which makes it suitable for use outdoors and with two finishes available you can err towards a smooth surface for inside and a slip resistant alternative outside which is safe to walk when wet.

Recent advancements in technology mean it is now possible to print photo-realistic imagery onto porcelain, to create tile designs in just about any pattern, colour and texture imaginable. By selecting a design that works in both settings, it is possible to create a scheme that allows your garden

and the inside of your home to act as one. Look to The Baked Tile Company if you’re stuck for ideas; the porcelain tile specialist offers wood and stone-effect designs that are identical to the real thing and look fantastic when used on the patio and in the home. Its portfolio also contains the Urban Concrete collection (pictured) which can be used to create a really sleek, industrial vibe that’s perfect for contemporary spaces. What’s great about these designs is they require little maintenance and are don’t cost the earth either.

Of course, it’s not just tiles that can be used to create a connection between the interior and exterior of a house; be inspired by Osborne and Little’s Ionia collection of fabrics which are suitable for use indoors and outside. By being consistent and using the fabrics across both domains, you will create a sense of cohesion. Also, the lovely thing about this particular collection is that it features zesty greens and yellows that will give your home and garden a certain ‘spring zing’.

DIPPLE FARM, Woolsery ݣ675,000 Webbers: 01237 472344

DIPPLE Farm is an attractive four bedroom grade two listed Devon longhouse with further cottages and outbuildings, within 27 acres of rural land near Woolsery.

As well as the longhouse, the plot benefits from having a one bedroom cottage, two large barns with full planning permission for conversion, a three bedroom holiday cottage and fishing rights for the land.

Original parts of the property are believed to date back to the 16th century and many original period features still remain, including beamed ceilings, inglenook fireplaces and flagstone floors.

The property is situated within beautiful open countryside on high ground with no overlooking neighbours, less than three miles south of Woolsery and 12 miles from Bideford.

The outbuildings give plenty of scope for further improvement, with potential to increase the size of the main residence and also to add to the rental income currently generated from the attached one bedroom holiday let.

The main front door of the farmhouse opens into a hallway with attractive original flagstone flooring.

The spacious sitting room has a beamed ceiling, an inglenook fire-

place and a wood burning stove. The large dining room also benefits from slate flagstone flooring, a beamed ceiling and an inglenook fireplace. A door leads through to the snug which has steps up to a study and a staircase to the first floor.

The kitchen/breakfast room has a pleasant outlook over the courtyard and is fitted with a range of matching modern units, also benefiting from a wall of cupboards and a dresser. A useful utility room and a cloakroom provide further storage.

Two staircases lead to the first floor where there is a large master bedroom, three further bedrooms and an attractive modern bathroom incorporating a Jacuzzi bath and a separate corner shower.

The Old Dairy is the successful four-star holiday let and has already generated ÂŁ10,000 in its first year. The accommodation has its own entrance but can also be accessed from the dining room in the main house.

The open plan living/kitchen/dining room has limestone flooring and underfloor heating, with a fireplace at one end and kitchen units at the other. Appliances include a fridge freezer, an electric hob, an oven, a grill oven and a dishwasher.

A door leads to a cosy double bedroom, with exposed stone walls and a

beamed ceiling. A luxury bathroom has limestone tiling and a wet shower area.

The range of barns and outbuildings include the West Barn, attached to the main house, which has full residential planning permission to become annexe accommodation. The South Barn has planning permission for conversion into a three bedroom holiday let.

An attached former garage is currently utilised as a laundry/utility room with a separate cloakroom. Behind the barn is a large workshop area with a smaller workshop attached, as well as a concrete yard which has the potential for other buildings, subject to the necessary consents.

The 27 acres of land surrounding the property consist of several different fields including good pasture land, an area of natural woodland, and a large meadow bordered by the River Torridge which has established fishing rights. Across the road from the house is a paddock of two acres incorporating a soft fruit cage, a polytunnel and a veg plot.

Dipple Farm presents highly versatile accommodation, with a great home/income arrangement and further potential for development in a sought after, beautiful location.

CHURCH COTTAGE Ashreigney ݣ575,000 Stags: 01769 572263

THIS character cottage is situated in an idyllic wooded valley with streams, ponds and 10 acres of grounds near the charming village of Ashreigney.

Ashreigney has a church, a village hall and a bus route serving Chulmleigh and Barnstaple.

Chulmleigh is four and a half miles away and offers an excellent range of day to day facilities while the larger market town of South Molton and the regional centre of Barnstaple are both around 14 miles away.

Church Cottage is believed to date back to the mid-18th century and still

retains an abundance of character features including beamed ceilings, slate flagstone flooring and attractive fireplaces.

The accommodation opens into an entrance hall with slate flooring and an adjacent cloakroom and storage cupboards. A door leads off to the kitchen/breakfast room which is an undoubted feature of the property, opening out into a large, covered garden room. The kitchen is well fitted with an electric range cooker and an oil fired Rayburn. The garden room comprises a large patio area

with a built-in barbecue and is the perfect space for entertaining.

The dining room has a lovely outlook over the stream and benefits from a flagstone floor and a bar area.

The sitting room boasts exposed ceiling beams and a characterful inglenook fireplace with a wood burning stove and a bread oven.

The study/library is a dual aspect space and overlooks the stream. It has exposed stonework and beams and fitted shelving to one wall.

Stairs lead from the dining room to the first floor landing which has doors

off to four bedrooms. The master suite benefits from an en suite shower room and a dressing room with fitted wardrobes.

A family bathroom has his and hers hand basins housed in timber cabinets and a large sunken bath.

Church Cottage is approached by a lane which is bordered by a stream.

Off road parking is available for several vehicles and beyond is a large modern outbuilding with further parking.

The outbuilding incorporates a workshop and a garage and has the

potential for conversion, subject to the necessary consents. Near the outbuilding is an area of woodland, orchard and pasture.

The gardens of the property are particularly attractive, leading out from the garden room and running along the garden.

Bordered by a stream, they boast a variety of mature plants, trees and shrubs as well as a seating area and three ponds.

Church Cottage is a character and charming property situated in a timeless and tranquil location.
