Higher Preston Barn is an impressive 18th-century stone barn conversion set in circa 5 acres of level pasture, offering an exceptional blend of rural character and contemporary living. The house presents expansive open-plan spaces, vaulted ceilings with exposed beams, three double bedrooms all with ensuites, and a first-floor showpiece kitchen with two islands and high-spec appliances. A modern barn arranged as stables, tack room and hay store sits alongside fenced paddocks and a large pond — well suited to equestrian use or an extensive country garden.
The property has been recently renovated to a high standard, with underfloor heating throughout, LPG-fired boiler, modern double glazing and a range of built-in appliances. Practical features include a utility room, ground-floor WC, substantial off-street parking, solar-powered electric gate and a private driveway set at the end of a long drive for privacy. The location combines tranquillity with convenience: Ivybridge, local schools and the A38 are a short drive away.
Buyers should note a few material considerations. Broadband speeds are very slow in the immediate area and current internet provision relies on mobile data; purchasers may wish to investigate satellite or specialist rural providers. Heating runs on bulk LPG and there is a private sewage treatment plant to maintain. Council Tax sits in Band G, reflecting higher running costs. Shared access arrangements apply for the neighbouring arena and there are established rights of way for adjacent landowners.
This property will appeal to families or equestrian enthusiasts seeking a substantial, ready-to-live-in rural home with immediate outbuildings and grazing. It offers scope for further customising the estate and is sold with no onward chain, allowing a straightforward move for buyers who value space, privacy and strong character combined with contemporary comforts.
