This Grade II listed barn conversion combines strong period character with practical modern living across more than 1,400 sqft. Exposed oak beams, stonework and a double-height entrance give instant impact, while a cosy sitting room with a wood burner and a generous kitchen/breakfast room suit everyday family life. The detached double garage includes an insulated office with cloakroom — ideal for home working, hobbies or guest space.
Significant value lies in the approved planning and listed building consent (ref: 2121/25/LBC) to reconfigure the first floor into three bedrooms, including an en‑suite master, plus consent for a contemporary glass garden room. The south‑facing garden (about 0.31 acres) with pond, greenhouse and paved patio offers scope for landscaping or the approved extension to increase usable living space.
Practical points to note: the house is listed, which restricts some alterations and can increase maintenance costs; broadband speeds are very slow; council tax is above average. The property sits in a peaceful rural hamlet about 1.5–2 miles from Okehampton, offering country living with access to town amenities and transport links (including the reopened rail to Exeter).
This home will suit buyers seeking a characterful country dwelling with permitted expansion already in place — families wanting additional bedrooms, owners needing home‑office space, or buyers prepared to manage listed‑building responsibilities to create a bespoke long‑term home.
