Property description
Set within its own grounds of just over three acres is this stunning five bedroom detached barn conversion together with stables and a professionally constructed manege. The spacious accommodation is presented to an exceptional standard with large windows allowing lots of natural light and views over rolling countryside and Dartmoor. The conversion sympathetically retained some of the barns original features whilst adding a high quality finish throughout. The property is offered for sale with no onward chain. Internal viewing is highly recommended to appreciate the size, standard and location of this residence.
