Barn Court is a substantial converted barn complex set in a tranquil river-valley location near Washfield, Tiverton. The principal barn, attached shippen annexe and separate two-bedroom holiday cottage create flexible living: up to nine bedrooms, multiple reception rooms and a self-contained holiday let that currently generates income. A 2009-built ‘New Barn’ offers a 485 ft² heated, tiled space with shower room and mezzanine potential—suitable for further holiday accommodation, extended family use or small business premises subject to consents.
The buildings retain character features such as high ceilings, exposed timbers and granite kitchen worktops, and sit around a gravelled courtyard with parking for several cars. Gardens of about half an acre lie mainly to the north and include mature trees, fruit trees, a vegetable plot, greenhouse and summerhouse. The setting is secluded and rural yet only a short drive from Tiverton (c.3 miles) and good road/rail links to the M5 and Tiverton Parkway.
Practical points to note: the property is on oil-fired central heating with an older boiler, double glazing fitted before 2002 and very slow broadband speeds — factors to factor into ongoing running costs and suitability for remote work. Constructed before 1900 with cob walls and painted render, the buildings are well presented but will require the usual maintenance associated with older rural conversions. Council tax is listed as expensive. Planning any commercial use of the New Barn will require checks and permissions.
Overall, Barn Court suits buyers seeking a spacious, characterful country home with proven holiday-let potential and scope to adapt spaces further. It will particularly appeal to those wanting privacy and outdoor space in a low-crime, agricultural-communities setting, while buyers prioritising fast connectivity or minimal maintenance should weigh the listed limitations.
