Barn conversion for sale in Dippertown, Lewdown, Okehampton EX20

We are pleased to market this versatile barn conversion located in the quiet and secluded hamlet of Dippertown, accessible by only a 10-minute drive from the A30. The property consists of a principal, three-bedroom barn and an attached one-bedroom barn currently utilised as a successful holiday let. The property sits within a large plot extending to circa 2.5 acre and benefits from a generous driveway, impressive double garage, detached modern barn and a luxury Shepherds’ hut which again has been a lucrative holiday rental for the current owner.

This charming property was once the cattle barns to the main farm house. The main barn is entered from the parking area through a solid wood door into an entrance hall which is open plan to the main living area. This dual aspect space affords a slate floor, exposed beams, large multi-fuel burner and French doors that open onto the rear garden. A few stairs rise you to the dining area and a few more rise you to the kitchen. The kitchen is open to the eaves with rooflights and an individual, stained glass window. It affords a gas range cooker as well as a solid fuel range which can be used to power the heating and hot water. Off the kitchen is a back door, separate cloakroom and utility room. Back through the living room there is a door into a rear hall. This offers an interconnecting door to the neighbouring holiday cottage and also access to the ground floor bedroom/study which has doors opening onto the front courtyard. Upstairs the main barn offers two vaulted double bedrooms, and a generous family bathroom. At the rear of the main barn is a private garden area with a stone wall separating it from the cottage garden.

The adjoining barn, 'Passion Flower Cottage', is a beautiful one-bedroom holiday retreat with a spacious living/dining room, separate kitchen and its own enclosed rear garden. The first floor has a stunning, vaulted, en-suite bedroom which extends 19'9" x 13'8".

Outside the property is set back from the road with a large driveway which is secured by a five-bar gate. There is a generous courtyard in front of the barns which offers a large area for parking. The drive carries on around the property and down to a substantial detached garage/workshop with full services. There is further parking for multiple vehicles as well as a two-vehicle car-port that is attached to the garage.

Beside the garage is a mostly level area of the plot which houses the orchard, vegetable garden and a further detached, agricultural barn which is used for storage. The Shepherd’s hut is also located here with its own portioned area of garden which is fenced and includes a fire pit. Through a gate, you enter into the paddock which slopes away down to the hill to a small

stream which has been planted with Gunnera. The boundary has direct access onto a public footpath so is a safe place to walk from.

This is a superb opportunity to someone looking to embark on a quieter lifestyle with the opportunity to generate income from their own property, or for multi-generational living. The house is serviced oil or solid fuel central heating, private drainage, and is having Solar panels fitted in September 2024 which will further enhance the environmental performance of the home.
