This large four-bedroom barn conversion in Raneleigh Barns blends authentic character with generous living space and far-reaching rural views. The principal living room occupies the upper level, with a vaulted ceiling, exposed beams and abundant natural light — an impressive entertaining space that showcases the barn’s original iron wheel and stripped floorboards. The kitchen/breakfast room is well-equipped with granite surfaces, integrated Neff appliances and an Aga (currently disconnected). A useful utility room and garage in a nearby block add practical storage and laundry space.
Bedrooms are arranged on the ground floor in reverse-level layout, including a master with ensuite and three further bedrooms serviced by a family bathroom. The garden lies across the driveway and steps down to a large lawn with decking, summerhouse, established fruit trees and a vegetable patch; the roof over the decking is reported suitable for solar panels. The setting is rural yet accessible — close to Down Thomas village, nearby beaches and the South West Coast Path.
Practical points to check: communal maintenance is managed by a resident-owned company with an annual charge of approximately £600; parking is communal and a garage is in a separate block. Services and construction notes contain some inconsistencies in the paperwork: heating fuel is variously cited as LPG and oil — buyers should verify the installed system and running costs. Broadband is FTTC but speeds are reported slow; sewage is to a septic tank. Overall, this is a character-rich family home with scope to personalise and improve energy and connectivity performance.
