To the south about 3 miles is the village of High Bickington with good local facilities, primary school, shops, village inns and local golf course. Some 5 miles to the west of the property is the town of Great Torrington, whilst Barnstaple, the ancient borough and administrative centre for North Devon is some 8 miles to the north, providing a comprehensive range of both business and leisure facilities including the Green Lanes shopping centre out of town superstores, live theatre, leisure centre and recently opened Tarka tennis courts. The property has far reaching view to the north east as far as Exmoor and in the winter months the snow topped moorlands can be seen very clearly. The property is in easy reach of Exmoor, Dartmoor and the beautifully sandy beaches of the North Devon Coast line. An ideal situated for a holiday letting business.

SHEARING BARN
SHEARING BARN, Boreat Barton, High Bickington, Umberleigh, North Devon EX37 9BJ - SOLD
Shearing Barn has been tastefully developed to an exceedingly high standard incorporating many ‘high tech' materials and practices with no expense spared. The developer has used traditional materials to maintain the sympathetic appearance of the original stone barn with its natural slate roof. The property benefits from a warm roof construction, natural wooden floors to the reception rooms and bedrooms and tiled floors to the kitchen and bathrooms.
The first floor ceilings are vaulted (cathedral style), with as much timber showing as possible. This is a truly exceptional feature as is the balustraded open void from the ground floor to the first floor.
In keeping with traditional barns Shearing Barn has natural timber frame windows and also benefits from double glazing with K glass to help give exceptional U value.
It is being sold with approximately a two acre garden with the option of a further 2/3 acres directly adjoining the property. The barn benefits from outstanding uninterrupted views over open countryside to the rear which is facing south/south west. The very large courtyard area means none of the properties actually overlook each other, thus maintaining complete privacy. There is ample parking to the rear of the barn as well as a large double garage. This property could be adapted to accommodate a dependant relative. The accommodation comprises:
(all measurements are approximate).
Entrance Hall, Cloakroom, Open Plan Sitting Room with feature stone fireplace and
Multi fuel burner (32'8 x 13'11), Dinning Room (14'10 x 14'8), Kitchen (15'5 x 12'5), Rear Porch/Utility Room, Games Room/Sun Lounge (19'1 x 28'1), Master Bedroom (16'11 x 15'8) with En-suite Shower Room, second master bedroom (12'8 x 15'8) with en-suite Shower Room, 2 further good sized bedrooms one with en-suite, family bathroom. Very large Double Garage with door to Games Room
Outside, the garden will be landscaped with a meandering path leading to two ponds. There will also be a large paved terraced area to the rear accessed via the rear porch, ideal for relaxing on warm summer evenings.
The paddock immediately adjoins the property but also has its own separate access via a five bar gate. Immediately inside the gate there is a large area of hard-standing which would be an idea base for a stable yard.
