Characterful three-bedroom barn with ample parking and peaceful village setting.
Large light-filled sitting room with full-height glazing and wood-burning stove
A charming three-bedroom barn conversion set in a small Chillington hamlet, The Old Hayloft blends original Victorian character with a bright, modern living extension. The full-height glazing and large rooflights flood the sitting room with light while a wood-burning stove provides a cosy focal point. The kitchen has a stable door to the well-kept, terraced rear garden and a useful storeroom that could be adapted for additional utility use.
Practical strengths include a large private gravelled parking area with space for four to five cars, double glazing (fitted post-2002) and straightforward, well-planned accommodation across two floors. The property is chain-free and freehold, with comfortable access to nearby village amenities, a good primary school and Kingsbridge’s wider facilities.
Buyers should note a few material points: heating is oil-fired (boiler and radiators) and the walls are original granite/whinstone with no confirmed insulation, contributing to the current EPC E. Broadband speeds are reported very slow here, and there are modest recurring costs — a share of the Klargester sewerage system (approximately £330/year) and part-share of the access drive maintenance (approx. £112/year).
This house will suit buyers seeking character and low-maintenance outdoor space in a peaceful rural location. It offers scope for targeted improvements (insulation, energy upgrades, possible conversion of the side storeroom) to increase comfort and reduce running costs, making it attractive to families or buyers wanting a countryside base close to Kingsbridge.
