Summary - WHITEHALL THE BARN MARWOOD BARNSTAPLE EX31 4EQ
4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms in a character barn conversion
About 3 acres: mature gardens, stream, south-facing summer house and paddock
Garaging for three cars plus several useful timber outbuildings
Double glazing and oil-fired central heating to radiators throughout
High flooding risk — property borders a stream; consider insurance costs
No mobile signal and very slow broadband; limited digital connectivity
Private drainage (septic); mains water and electricity present
Converted ~40 years ago — generally well presented but may need updating
Set in about three acres on the edge of a small hamlet, this converted barn blends rustic character with generous family spaces. The house offers a large sitting room, double-aspect dining room, kitchen/breakfast room, ground-floor office, utility and cloakroom — all arranged across a practical multi-story layout. Mature, stream-bordered gardens, a summer house and a paddock provide extensive outdoor options for children, animals or hobby gardening.
Practical benefits include garaging for three vehicles, multiple useful timber sheds, double glazing and oil-fired central heating. The layout suits family living and home working: the ground-floor office and generous reception rooms give flexibility for study, play and entertaining. The property’s huge plot and paddock offer scope for small-scale equestrian use or private hobby projects.
Buyers should note important constraints: the site has a high flooding risk and is approached across a stream, private drainage serves the house, there is no mobile signal and broadband speeds are very slow. Heating is oil-fired (oil tank and boiler) which is common in rural locations but adds running and servicing costs. The conversion dates to around 40 years ago; while well presented now, some buyers may want to update fittings or services over time.
This home will suit buyers seeking rural privacy, outdoor space and character rather than those needing strong digital connectivity or flood-free riverside grounds. Families wanting room for children and animals, and buyers prepared to manage rural service arrangements, will find the setting and scale especially appealing.
