Set within the peaceful hamlet of Higher Crownley near Bovey Tracey, this restored three-bedroom barn conversion blends traditional stone character with modern comforts. The open-plan, oak-framed reception room features bespoke cabinetry, Italian granite worktops and an AGA, while double-height windows and mezzanine galleries create light and generous living space. Underfloor heating throughout and an air-source heat pump deliver efficient, low-carbon warmth.
The property sits on a very large plot with a productive orchard, landscaped gardens and a substantial detached barn/workshop (c.1,028 sq ft) that offers real conversion or diversification potential subject to consents. Off-street private parking and a gravel driveway add practical convenience, and the A38 is about four miles away for access to Newton Abbot, Exeter and the wider motorway network.
This home will suit buyers seeking rural seclusion without sacrificing refinements: excellent craftsmanship, high ceilings and modern insulation in granite walls. Note practical points honestly — broadband speeds are slow in this area and council tax is expensive. The location is largely agricultural and ageing in profile, so it’s best for those who value space, privacy and countryside pursuits over urban amenities.
Local attractions include Dartmoor National Park, Bovey Castle golf, riding and nearby coastal day trips. Several well-regarded state and independent schools are within reach; Newton Abbot provides wider facilities and a mainline station to Exeter and London. The barn/workshop could suit a hobbyist, home business or be remodelled for additional living space with appropriate approvals.
