Holcombe Rogus, Devon, TA21

The Old Orchard is a charming Grade II listed stone barn conversion, offering a perfect blend of character, comfort, and countryside living. Set within 1.23 acres of established gardens and orchards, this lovely home provides ample accommodation for families or couples, with an idyllic setting and unspoilt views of the surrounding countryside.

The property is attached to its neighbour on its far northern boundary.

Originally part of Burrow Farm, the barn was skilfully converted 30 years ago, preserving its unique character while incorporating thoughtful design elements for modern living.

The well-planned layout ensures most rooms benefit from westerly-facing views, filling the home with natural light and creating a warm, inviting atmosphere. Combining timeless character with a superb location, Old Orchard is more than just a home—it's a lifestyle opportunity for those seeking tranquillity, beauty, and convenience in equal measure

SELLERS INSIGHT
Nearly twenty years ago we retired from farming and bought The Orchard as our home – during that time it has served us so well and we have many fond memories of family’s gatherings and our grandchildren spending time playing in the orchards and gardens.

I have lived here on my own for the last ten years and the house works as well for one person as it does a family or a couple.
I feel the time is right to sell The Orchard and allow someone else to enjoy it as much as we have done.

STEP INSIDE

Designed to meet the needs of living in the countryside an entrance porch and connecting utility/boot room ensure that there is room to take off muddy clothing. The traditional farmhouse style kitchen/breakfast room/family room is a great space to spend time in whether preparing and enjoying food or having a cup of tea and a chat.

The solid wooden handmade units sit under granite work tops providing ample storage and an electric fired Aga provides ambient heat to the room. Two windows to the front look across the gardens to countryside with an additional window onto the rear.

A fabulous open hallway provides space for a seating area adjoining the double oak doors that open on to the patio and gardens and is the perfect place to watch the sunset.

A dining room with exposed beams could also be used as a study or snug. The main sitting room is full of character and has two windows overlooking the gardens and views with an additional window to the rear, whilst a wood burner provides a focal point for this charming room. There is also a cloaks cupboard and cloakroom on the ground floor that was originally designed as a shower room but has been removed and plumbed for a washing machine.

The galleried landing offers a similar space to the hall with exposed roof timbers and windows to the front it allows the light to flood into to this area.
The main bedroom is similar shape and size to the sitting room and offers plenty of space with views to the front and an adjoining en-suite with large shower enclosure.

The second bedroom is also a generous size and could easily be used as the main bedroom. With large floor to ceiling window to the side and front and range of built in wardrobes. In addition are two further double bedrooms, each with their own character. A family bathroom serves these three additional bedrooms.

STEP OUTSIDE

Old Orchard sits in level gardens and established orchards of 1.23 acres in a lovely location on the edge of the village.

A central driveway provides ample parking and leads to the detached double garage with power and lighting. To the left of the driveway and directly in front of the property the formal gardens are laid to lawn with shrubs, trees and bushes. A large patio adjoins the front of the barn and is the perfect place to enjoy the beautiful views. To the rear of the property a pathway leads to a small patio area with door to the dining room.

The orchards lie to the right-hand side of the garage and have been designed for lower maintenance with areas of wildlife meadow around the trees with mown pathways providing access. There are also a couple of useful sheds.
