Three garages/barns plus generous off-road parking
Solar panels installed; boiler replaced in 2024

Oil-fired heating and septic tank (no mains drainage)

Very slow broadband speeds—not suitable for heavy remote work

Tucked on the edge of Avonwick in the South Hams, Barn Cottage is a spacious three-bedroom barn conversion set in mature gardens and open countryside. The single-storey living layout, generous room sizes and high vaulted ceilings create an airy, rural home with authentic character—exposed beams, a brick fireplace and a vaulted dining room that opens directly onto the garden.
Practical strengths include a large south-facing garden and multiple outbuildings: a double garage, a separate detached barn/garage and ample parking for visitors. Recent upgrades include a 2024 oil boiler, solar panels and extensive landscaping; the property is offered freehold and chain free, ready for immediate occupation.
There is clear potential for further improvement. A fully boarded wooden-floored loft with Velux windows provides useful storage and possible conversion subject to planning permission. Some elements are dated: the property uses oil-fired heating and a septic tank, the EPC is D, and external granite walls are assumed uninsulated, so thermal upgrades could improve comfort and running costs over time.
Barn Cottage will suit buyers seeking a peaceful rural lifestyle with strong local community amenities and good road links to the A38. Families and downsizers who value space, character and garden privacy will appreciate this home; buyers needing fast broadband or low-carbon communal heating should note the current limitations.
