Description

Nestled within the small and picturesque hamlet of Easton, just a short distance from Bigbury and its renowned sandy beaches, Glebe Barn is a charming unlisted stone barn conversion offering character, space and a wonderfully rural setting. This attractive semi detached home is arranged in a reverse level design, thoughtfully configured to make the most of its surroundings. The property is entered via an inviting entrance hall leading through to a well appointed kitchen and a spacious living/dining room, ideal for both everyday living and entertaining. A versatile snug, which could also serve as a fourth bedroom, sits alongside a useful utility room and a modern shower room on this level. On the lower ground floor, a generous hallway with patio doors opens directly onto a delightful, enclosed walled courtyard garden, perfect for al fresco dining or simply enjoying the peace and privacy. This floor also accommodates three comfortable bedrooms and a family bathroom, providing ample space for family life or visiting guests.

Outside, Glebe Barn continues to impress. There is private parking and a detached single garage, complete with an adjoining workshop fitted with power and light, ideal for hobbies or additional storage. The property is set within a generous plot featuring two large lawned gardens, offering plenty of space for children to play, keen gardeners to cultivate vegetables, or simply to relax and take in the tranquil surroundings.

Extending to approximately 5.5 acres, the land is a real highlight. Comprising two gently sloping fields, with steeper areas, the grounds include a stream at the lower boundary and a former pond that could be reinstated. An old timber stable block provides three stables, making the property well suited to equestrian use, smallholding, or recreational pursuits. From the property there is a lovely walk down the lane to the bridge, from where there is a footpath either side of the stream leading down to the Avon Estuary.

With far reaching views across the surrounding countryside from the land, Glebe Barn offers a rare opportunity to acquire a home that combines rural charm, versatility and lifestyle potential in an idyllic South Hams setting.

SITUATION
Bigbury is a charming village located 1.5 miles inland in the South Hams area of South Devon. The beautiful parish church of St Lawrence was extensively rebuilt in 1872 but parts are believed to date back to the 14th century. Local amenities include the popular Oyster Shack known for its exquisite local produce. At St Ann's Chapel you will find Holywell Stores & Post Office which is open 7 days a week providing all your daily grocery needs, public house and restaurant. A high quality 18 hole golf course can be found at Bigbury on Sea overlooking the stunning coastline. Approximately one mile away is Bigbury-on-Sea which is a very desirable coastal village in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Famous for its magnificent sandy beaches and glorious views over Burgh Island with the renowned Art Deco hotel and the historic Pilchard Inn. With its beautiful golden sands, shallow water for paddling, rock pools for exploring and watersports it is a very popular holiday resort for families. A comprehensive range of shops, services and recreational facilities can be found at Kingsbridge (some 8 miles away, with a tidal road which can be taken as a short cut by approximately 3 miles depending on the height of tide). The Georgian town of Modbury, which is well provided with a range of shops and restaurants is some five miles away.

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.

Surface water

Medium to low risk (1 in 100 to 1 in 1000)
