Description

A fabulously spacious barn conversion in a peaceful rural position, backing on to open farmland with little passing traffic, exceptional rural views and thoughtfully planned accommodation.

Situation

The property is situated in a small rural hamlet just 2 miles from the picturesque small market town of North Tawton located alongside the River Taw. It has excellent road connections west towards Okehampton (8 miles) or east towards Crediton (10 miles) and also south onto the A30 and access into Dartmoor National Park. Okehampton offers easy access to Exeter via the newly opened Dartmoor Line with trains running hourly.
North Tawton includes a number of mini markets, Post Office, chemist, tea room, public houses, doctors surgery, public car parks, dentist, veterinary surgery, and a good primary school. The former market town of Okehampton lies approximately 8 miles to the west offering additional complementary facilities and educational establishments. North Tawton is situated on the Tarka Trail and is fortunate enough to boast rugby, football and cricket clubs, as well as a variety of societies.

Description

This exceptional barn conversion occupies a rural position among only three other homes in a fabulous spot, easily commutable to Okehampton and the A30 to the west and east towards Crediton and Exeter. The generous, reverse level accommodation is thoughtfully laid out and offers fabulous amounts of natural light. The principle reception room opens on to a private rear and side garden which enjoys the sun throughout the day. Of particular note is the generous kitchen/breakfast room with an oil fired Aga.
Approached along a shared, private driveway, the property offers parking for at least two cars in addtion to the double garage which boasts an inspection pit and power and light.
Ideally located and tranquilly situated, Venton Lodge is considered ideal as a generous family home with excellent transport links or as a comfortable retirement home away from the hustle and bustle. The gardens are truly delightful and offer exceptional rural views in all directions.

Flood Risk

Environment Agency open data, checked around the advertised map pin for the listed acreage. Long-term risk counts flood defences; the planning map's flood zones do not. The map pin for this listing marks the postcode area rather than the exact location, so these readings describe the surrounding area. Provided by LandSale, not the listing agent, and not part of the agent's particulars. Risk varies across a holding, so verify before committing.

Rivers and the sea

Very low risk

Planning map: Flood Zone 1.
