Situation - Lorings Barn is located in Tolcis, a historic rural hamlet, close to the market town of Axminster, in the Blackdown Hills National Landscape (AONB). Axminster (2.5 miles) provides a good range of day-to-day amenities including independent shops, cafes, sports centre, swimming pool and weekly produce market, as well as a mainline railway station on the London Waterloo line. To the south, the Jurassic Coast World Heritage site features the popular
resort of Lyme Regis (8 miles) with its famous Cobb and sandy beach. There are good road connections with the A35 giving access to the coast and the A30/ A303 with its links to London and the South East. The Cathedral city of Exeter (25 miles) is easily accessible with its excellent shopping, university and recreational opportunities, as well as a main line rail link to London Paddington, international airport and M5 access.

The Property - Converted in 2007, this country home cleverly combines a period stone barn and a stone pillared linhay, to create a L-shaped property with spacious, adaptable accommodation arranged over three levels. The resulting building has mainly stone elevations under a slate and thatched roof. The historic fabric of the buildings including exposed beams, feature stone walls has been conserved and sympathetically combined with contemporary finishes to create astylish split-level home. On the ground floor the attention to detail extends to the generous dual aspect dining kitchen which has underfloor heating, wooden units under granite work surfaces and integrated appliances. From the entrance hall a short flight of steps leads to an en-suite bedroom and the light-filled dining room, connecting the lower linhay with the upper barn. On the next level the master bedroom suite features a walk-in wardrobe and well-appointed bathroom. A further short flight of stairs leads to an impressive double aspect sitting room with a full height vaulted ceiling, and doors opening onto a south facing terrace overlooking the garden. Two further bedrooms and a shower room are found on the upper floor. Lorings Barn will appeal to a range of lifestyle buyers seeking a country house.
