Set on an elevated plot in Harberton, this four-bedroom detached stone barn conversion combines rural character with practical living. The reverse-level layout places the generous sitting room and gallery on the upper floor to take full advantage of far-reaching views towards Dartmoor, including Haytor. Large windows and exposed beams create light, airy living spaces with a wood-burning stove as a focal point.
The ground floor provides flexible accommodation including a sizeable principal bedroom and a ground-floor bedroom, useful for multigenerational living or a home office. The kitchen/dining room opens onto a modest enclosed courtyard and a small gravel-front garden; a wooden deck provides an outdoor sitting spot. Off-street parking is available on the gravel driveway.
This home will suit buyers seeking rural lifestyle and character rather than turnkey suburban convenience. There is clear scope for modernisation in areas to personalise the interior and update finishes where desired. Broadband speeds are very slow — important for remote working — and the plot is small, so outdoor space is compact and low-maintenance.
Practical considerations include above-average council tax and proximity to mixed-rated local schools (one nearby academy currently rated Inadequate by Ofsted). Overall, the property offers strong countryside appeal, distinctive period features and usable living space for families looking to trade town for tranquil views and character.
