Beaford, Winkleigh, Devon, EX19

Situated within the popular and peaceful village of Beaford, North Devon, this handsome and substantial home features stylish accommodation made up of four double bedrooms, all with luxury en suite bathrooms, generous reception rooms and a wonderful sense of calm and warmth throughout. The rear garden is a perfect paradise tucked away to further the peace and quiet that comes with its village location and an integral double garage provides extra potential or car parking space, with separate garaging and gravel parking just a short walk across a private lane.

Inside:
Old Orchard barn is nothing short of remarkable, from the moment you step through the door it is clear that real thought and energy went into the planning and build of this property in 2004. From its wonderful open hallway all the way into the double garage you can see the care and attention that has gone into making this incredible house a home.

The front door opens into the stunning hallway, high vaulted ceilings above. To the right past a generous under stairs coat cupboard double doors lead into the expansive lounge, complete with handsome brick- built fireplace housing a lovely wood burner. The double doors found here can create a stunning cosy room in the winter, and in summer they can be opened to create the beautiful stunning flow throughout the downstairs. Beamed ceilings overhead continue the character theme flowing throughout the property adding a lovely warmth and making for the perfect space to entertain in or indeed enjoy of an evening around the fireplace. A glass paned door opens out into the garden room at the rear of the property, allowing for floods of natural light.

At the far end of the room is another door leading into the 4th bedroom or downstairs office, with enough room to comfortably fit a double bed and with the added benefit of its own en suite bathroom, creating a perfect guest bedroom or home office away from the rest of the accommodation.

The aforementioned sun room is a spectacular space, with angled double -glazed units overhead and in front looking out across the manicured gardens. This room provides a perfect position to enjoy throughout the day and through the seasons all the while benefitting from an abundance of light flowing into the property. It also connects the sitting room, hallway and kitchen diner, creating a lovely closeness to the downstairs whilst simultaneously separating them providing flexibility.

Heading back across the hallway you enter into the simply stunning kitchen dining room through matching double doors, a wonderful touch that again provides the ability to separate each room or keep them open for an uninterrupted flow. Complete with engineered oak units and worktops the kitchen wraps round on two sides to create a wonderful open space to entertain in, further amplified by the double doors opening out onto the rear paved patio. The kitchen has a fitted dresser and a larder cupboard can be found on the left of the kitchen, providing extra storage and room for an American style fridge freezer to be tucked out of the way.

This beautiful hybrid space is another perfect example of modern living whilst still retaining the wonderful character of a barn conversion. Running the length of the room’s right flank underneath multiple velux windows lies the dining area that will comfortably hold a sizeable dining table and chairs to house the whole family, another door to one end opening out onto a private patio with room enough for another table and chairs, perfect for a morning coffee.

The double garage can be found beyond the kitchen, another large expanse of space accessible from the paved driveway through a modern electric roller door to store vehicles or indeed as substantial storage, home gym or further reception/accommodation subject to the necessary permissions. In addition to the double garage is a handy utility room housing the washing machine and tumble dryer along with space for further fridge freezer. Off of this is found a further w.c and storage, with quarry tiles underfoot this space is perfect for muddy boots/dogs.

Upstairs:
The main staircase takes centre stage in the hallway, leading up to an open landing that is bathed in natural light courtesy of further velux windows. Turning left at the top of the stairs takes you into the main suite, an exquisite space with ample room for a king -sized bed as well as free standing units on top of the already built in wardrobes. The en-suite can be found at the far end, finished with beautiful flooring, w.c, wash hand basin as well as both a bath and shower. Adjacent to the main bedroom is another smaller space that could work perfectly as a home office, or as it is currently utilised, a perfect dressing room with built in wardrobe storage.

Heading across the landing you have another incredibly generous bedroom, again with large built in wardrobes and a stylish en suite. This is completed with a walk- in shower, wash hand basin and w.c. The main bedroom also provides access into the roof space above the garage. This is a tremendous L-shaped space boarded underfoot and fireboarded as well, a perfect space for storage measuring approximately 27ft long.

The final bedroom could easily become a perfect annexe within the home, accessed by both the garden room and the rear garden creating a private entrance. A straight run of stairs leads up into a beautiful double bedroom, finished with built in wardrobes as well as space for free standing units and a large double bed. The en suite in here matches the tone and style of the rest of the house, with a walk- in shower, w.c and wash hand basin.

Outside:
The gardens make up a huge part of Old Orchard Barn, creating a remarkably peaceful and secluded escape to relax in and enjoy through every season as the year progresses. The private nature of the garden is such that it would suit equally well as a holiday home or full -time home, with an incredible patio perfect for entertaining a large number of guests, or indeed a private family dinner. The lawn is a wonderful open space as well, peppered with a beautiful array of shrubs, flowers, bulbs and trees to include a stunning silver birch. Even here you can envisage both a garden party or indeed the chasing of a ball by a four -legged friend. A summer house and garden shed provide outdoor storage for tools and the like, with the summerhouse having power and light connected, there is even a fruit cage tucked out of the way in the far corner of the plot.

The gardens can be accessed from the rear via a pedestrian right of way, but also through a side gate that provides easy access for the oil tank to be topped up.
In addition to the garaging within the property, there is a further double garage across the lane, with its own storage space above and gravel driveway to its front providing private parking for the property.

To conclude, the flexibility and potential of the entire property is simply second to none, catering to a wide audience and providing a home of unrivalled quality to the market. The duality of its nature mean it would work both as a beautiful family home, multi- generational residence and simultaneously as a wonderful weekend retreat in the countryside. The large open space within flows brilliantly, with a distinct air of elegance throughout, all the while reminding you of the warmth and character that can be enjoyed within a barn conversion.
