Situation - This individual, character home is located on the southern edge of the village of Lamerton, in a very peaceful and private position surrounded by countryside. Lamerton is a popular village within easy reach of Tavistock, with local amenities which include a fuel station and general store (1.5 miles), the Blacksmiths Arms Public House and a "Good" OFSTED-rated primary school. There is a farm shop within 2 miles, at Chipshop, and Tavistock town centre is only 3 miles away.

Tavistock is a thriving market town in West Devon forming part of a World Heritage Site, rich in history and tradition dating back to the 10th century. Today, the town offers a superb range of shopping, recreational and educational facilities, whilst the largely 19th-century town centre is focused around the Pannier Market and Bedford Square, in which regular farmer's markets are held. Plymouth is 17 miles to the south and Exeter lies 40 miles to the northeast, providing air, rail and motorway connections to London and the rest of the UK.

Description - This splendid detached barn was attentively converted by the current owners between 2008 and 2011, and has been finished to a high standard. The 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom accommodation is presented in excellent condition and characterised by bright, open rooms, arranged in reverse-level fashion to maximise natural light and the surrounding views. Externally, there is ample parking in a gated drive, large, well-kept lawn and patio gardens (with potential as a small paddock), plus a stable/workshop outbuilding with potential for other uses (STP), making this an extremely well-rounded home for those seeking the good life.

Accommodtion - The living accommodation has been finished using traditional materials, with extensive use of exposed timber (including lintels, A-frames and flooring), granite and slate, and good-quality, hardwood double glazed windows and doors. Briefly, the accommodation comprises: a ground-floor hallway with slate flooring and French doors to the patio; three bedrooms, of which two have contemporary en-suite shower rooms and a dual aspect; a family bathroom; a dedicated utility, and; at first-floor level, a striking, open-plan living/dining room and kitchen area with high-vaulted ceilings. The kitchen is equipped with handmade cupboards and composite worktops, incorporating an electric oven, separate 4-ring hob, 1.5-bowl stainless steel sink, and spaces for a fridge and freezer.

Outside - A sweeping, gated drive provides ample parking space and leads to the stables/workshop. An enclosed, south-facing garden lies to the front of the barn, comprising a very well-kept lawn and patio seating area, and representing a blank canvas for a new owner to mould to their tastes. Across the drive is a large, extended garden amounting to 0.4 acres, offering additional space and opportunity to keep small domestic livestock or create a fruit and vegetable patch. The detached stable outbuilding currently serves as a workshop, storage space and a hobbies room, but could be re-established as loose boxes and/or tack and hay stores. It also offers scope for adaptation into garaging, a home office, an annexe or a holiday let, subject to any necessary consents.
