Kentisbury, Barnstaple, EX31

A most substantial yet discreetly sited barn conversion, North Patchole Barn enjoys a ‘tucked away’ position within the well regarded hamlet of Kentisbury Ford, surrounded by lush countryside yet within reach of Ilfracombe with it’s wide range of shops, Combe Martin with it’s stunning beach and of course the regional centre of Barnstaple. On arrival the barn presents imposing stone elevations as well as ample off road parking, and it is only stepping over the threshold that the character and spaciousness of the accommodation can be fully realised.

The ground floor accommodation is ‘bookended’ with a spacious reception room at each end of the barn, both featuring imposing Inglenook style hearths. The room at the right hand end is currently arranged as a sitting room and in this room the fireplace has a substantial multi fuel burner, ideal for cosy winter evenings. This room enjoys an outlook over the very pretty gardens to the rear of the barn, and there is a door to the garden as well. The room at the other end of the barn also has an Inglenook fireplace and could be a second sitting room or formal dining room and leading off from this room is the second kitchen/utility room, making the house suitable for dual family use or possibly to create an AirBnB style annexe. In between these rooms is the kitchen with ample storage and a pleasant outlook over the gardens, and also the surprisingly spacious hallway with full height glazing, door to garden and the attractive staircase to the first floor. The hallway is large enough to be utilised as a study area or dining hall and is a most appealing space.

On the first floor there are two en-suite bedrooms, one at each end of the barn, a spacious landing area, two further good size bedrooms and a family bathroom, bringing the total number of WC’s to four, always useful in a large property!

The gardens at North Patchole Barn are a particular delight, comprising of lawned areas, attractive mature shrubs and flower beds as well as a useful greenhouse and further timber shed. There is a further store at the end of the barn with a tiled roof providing a particularly dry and safe storage area.

In conclusion, North Patchole Barn offers charming characterful accommodation with the potential for annexe/income or dual family occupancy, all set in a desirable rural hamlet.
