Situation - The property is situated towards the end of a long no-through lane, in a peaceful and private location in the parish of Gulworthy, within the Tamar Valley National Landscape, around 4 miles to the south of Tavistock and just over 2 miles from the popular village of Bere Alston.
Bere Alston is well-served by amenities including a Co-op mini-market, butchers and Post Office, and a direct, 25-minute rail service to Plymouth City Centre. Tavistock is a thriving town in West Devon, forming part of a designated World Heritage Site and offering a superb range of shopping, recreational and educational facilities, including the sought-after private school, Mount Kelly. Plymouth, with its coastal access, is 14 miles to the south. The city of Exeter lies 45 miles to the northeast, providing air, rail and motorway connections to the rest of the UK.
Description - This is a most appealing and attractive range of converted barns of traditional masonry construction and hardwood double glazing, accompanied by large gardens, outbuildings and around 13.4 acres of pasture. Having been within the same ownership for over two decades, it is now in need of comprehensive refurbishment and represents an excellent opportunity for a new owner to create a unique and impressive home of their choosing.
Currently configured with 3-4 bedrooms and 2 characterful receptions, there is excellent scope for remodelling. Originally dating to 1909, the barns are arranged in a horseshoe shape around a walled courtyard and accompanied by a versatile range of outbuildings including domestic, general-purpose and machinery stores, as well as larger agricultural buildings including a shippon and sizeable, open-front barn serving the pasture fields. There is extensive provision for parking and gardens to the south of the principal barn. This is a rare and exciting opportunity with strong potential for those seeking to establish a smallholding, keep livestock or with equestrian interests. In all, the property amounts to 14.61 acres (see our accompanying location plan).
