Situation & Amenities - Offering a beautiful rural surrounding, and quietly situated in a no through road nestled within fine Devonshire countryside, the Hamlet of Benton plays host to a small number of neighbouring properties. The village of Bratton Fleming is close by and provides a thriving local community offering primary and pre-schooling, a village store and regular bus service to both Barnstaple and Lynton. Public schooling is available at the renowned West Buckland School which lies about 5.7 miles to the south. The Regional centre of Barnstaple lies about 9 miles to the west and offers the area’s main business, commercial, leisure and shopping venues as well as primary and secondary schools, theatre and District Hospital. The market town of South Molton is about 10 miles to the south and provides local services including shops, banks, recreational facilities, primary and secondary schooling. To the east Exmoor National Park offers beautiful moorland scenery and many foot and bridle paths and the stunning north Devon Coastline, whilst to the west are the popular sandy beaches of Instow, Saunton Sands (also with Championship golf course), Croyde Bay, Putsborough and Woolacombe. From South Molton, the A361 North Devon Link Road provides easy access to Tiverton and the M5 Motorway (Junction 27) with mainline intercity rail links available at Tiverton Parkway (Paddington in just over 2 hours). The nearest International airports are at Exeter and Bristol.

Description - The Barn lies in a wonderful unspoilt timeless position, set in its own grounds, with delightful views over open countryside. A private entrance track provides access. Consent was granted by North Devon Council under Planning Reference 71725 in October 2020 for conversion of redundant rural building to form one dwelling. The conversion has commenced and some major works have already been undertaken. The proposed Ground Floor accommodation includes: double-height ENTRANCE HALL, CLOAKROOM, open-plan LIVING/DINING ROOM/KITCHEN, UTILITY ROOM, BEDROOM and adjacent BATHROOM (which potentially future-proofs). 2 further rooms have been earmarked as STUDY and GYM but have potential for alternative uses. There is also an integral DOUBLE GARAGE on the Ground Floor level. There appears to be sufficient room and versatility to create a self-contained Ground Floor annexe, subject to any necessary change of the original planning. On the First Floor the plans provide for a LANDING, 3 further BEDROOMS including the MASTER with DRESSING ROOM and ENSUITE, as well as a FAMILY BATHROOM.
