Description:
A charming detached period stone barn conversion in tranquil, timeless and sought after location close to the coast. 3 Bedrooms, Good sized garden.
SITUATION AND AMENITIES
Lincombe and Lee are in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and the North Devon coast Conservation Area. The hamlet of Lincombe is close to the village of Lee and Lee Bay beach, about 2 miles to the west of Ilfracombe. Lee Bay is bordered on three sides by rolling Devonshire countryside and on the fourth by the Bristol Channel. The picturesque village, which enjoys a maritime climate, is situated in a deep combe valley, heavily wooded in places. Lee boasts a village church and The Grampas, which is the one and only public house. The small rocky cove with its imposing coastline on either side remains a tranquil spot, even in the height of summer. A multitude of splendid contrasting local walks stem from the village, most are well signposted and vary in type and length. The bustling town of Woolacombe, with a 3 mile long sandy beach is a short drive. Further afield Croyde Bay, Putsborough and Saunton Sands are all ideal for surfing and bathing. Exmoor is also easily accessible, with its beautiful rugged coastline and dramatic scenery, open moorland and wooded valleys. Barnstaple, North Devon's regional centre is within half an hour by car, and provides a comprehensive range of both business and leisure facilities. From the town, direct access onto the A361 North Devon Link Road provides easy access to Tiverton Parkway Railhead, and beyond to the M5 Motorway.
DESCRIPTION
We understand that Lower Barn was converted in 1989, and has been in the ownership of the same family for the last 23 years or so, and utilised as a second home. The property presents elevations of stone beneath a slate roof, with double glazed windows throughout. Although the conversion is about 23 years old, wear and tear has been kept to a minimum, as the property has only been utilised by the one family for limited periods each year, and has never been rented out on a commercial basis. The accommodation is arranged on a reverse living basis, in order that the principal reception room and kitchen enjoy the best of the view down the valley, with sea glimpses in the distance. The conversion has been undertaken sympathetically to combine modern refinements with original features, and there is an extensive use of exposed timber throughout, as well as cottage latch doors with wrought iron furniture. The small original farm complex was divided into just 4 units, which all share the initial access drive, and then each have their own private drives and parking arrangements. Lower Barn overlooks its own gardens, which are bounded by a stream, and adjoin open fields. To the rear, the property backs onto the original farmhouse which is now a pair of cottages and the rear elevation is the actual boundary, although we understand there are rights of access for maintenance. Lower Barn would make an ideal principal residence, second home / UK base or holiday let. The layout of the accommodation, with approximate dimensions, is more clearly identified on the accompanying floorplan, but comprises;
