A Landmark Devon Barn Conversion with 15.5 Acres of Idyllic Countryside

Description

Old Aish Barn is a striking and beautifully finished conversion of a traditional Devon bank barn, set high in the landscape with far-reaching views across unspoilt countryside. This historic form of building, cleverly constructed, allows both upper and lower levels to be accessed at ground level. Attached to the front is a charming single storey roundhouse — an unusual and highly appealing feature that lends the property real individuality and rustic charm.
Built from local stone, with the barn rendered and both roofs attractively thatched and finished with distinctive “eyebrow” dormer windows, the house sits comfortably within its rural setting. The south-facing elevation is complemented by an external staircase, while the interiors have been thoughtfully designed to retain the texture, scale and atmosphere of the original structure.
Inside, the flexible and spacious accommodation feels warm, generous and full of character. There are a wealth of period features including exposed beams and roof timbers. The sitting room benefits from a wood burning stove and the drawing room features an impressive inglenook fireplace. The roundhouse now forms a superb additional sitting room with a vaulted ceiling.
The kitchen/breakfast room enjoys windows on three sides capturing panoramic countryside views. It is well fitted with a range of quality integrated appliances and preparation areas. There is direct access to both the parking area to the front and side of the house. Adjoining the kitchen, access is provided to the dining room.
The bedroom accommodation is well arranged, offering five comfortable double rooms, all enjoying open rural views. The lower ground floor is self contained and perfect for a relative or independant living while there are three further bedrooms on the first floor. The principal bedroom has its own en suite shower room, with the bedrooms served by a family bath and shower room.
Old Aish Barn is entered through impressive wooden gates that open onto a sweeping gravel driveway leading to a spacious parking and turning area.
Beyond the main house, a two-storey barn with full planning consent offers exciting potential for a self-contained annexe. Additional buildings include an open-fronted three-bay barn, American-style stable block, and a large workshop. The house is surrounded by a terrace, perfectly placed for outdoor dining. This opens onto manicured lawns bordered with mature trees, colourful shrubs and a tranquil wildlife pond. The remainder of the land is divided into four well-fenced enclosures with a combination of post-and-rail and stock-proof fencing. In all, the gardens and grounds extend to about 15.5 acres (6.27 hectares).
