Buckland Monachorum, Yelverton

This attractive converted barn sits in a peaceful location at the end of a private lane, just outside the village of Buckland Monachorum, overlooking countryside to the Buckland Abbey Estate. The whole place has a feeling of space and light and flexibility in the use of rooms. It has a spacious kitchen in need of some modernization, a large separate dining room and a living room with access to the pretty courtyard outside. There is also a study and downstairs loo. Upstairs is a wide landing with access to four bedrooms and a family bathroom. Bedroom one benefits from a full-length window overlooking trees and the countryside as well as a dressing area and the shared Jack and Jill bathroom with bedroom three. This room can also be used as a dressing room as it currently is.

The vendors advise the running costs are competitive for such a property as borne out by the EPC rating C (80) thanks to the mains gas connection, a modern condensing boiler (hydrogen ready) and solar panels which attract a FIT payment, currently about £2,000pa, tax-free and indexed linked until 2035.

Buckland Monachorum is a popular village, close to Yelverton and about 10 miles north of the city of Plymouth. It has a public house (the renowned Drake Manor), a good primary school and easy access to the Plymouth grammar schools.

Outside, the driveway leads to the side of the property to the double garage 19’9” x 15’11”, and past a raised grassed area with a greenhouse, which would be perfect for growing vegetables. There is a path that then leads around the whole house turning into a pretty walled courtyard, and back to the front of the house where there is a large lawn. This is bordered by a stock fence with a five-bar gate leading into a paddock which is approximately 2 acres.

Services: Mains electricity, gas, water. Private drainage. 4kw photovoltaic solar panels.
