Description:
A beautiful converted barn of exceptional character in a most tranquil South Hams setting. Dining entrance hall, Sitting room, Kitchen/breakfast room, 4 Bedrooms (2 en-suite), Picturesque gardens, Garage, Parking, 4.75 Acres.
SITUATION
Grimpston Leigh is a delightful and most peaceful hamlet of just a handful of properties which belies the fact that it is in fact just half a mile from the main A379 Kingsbridge to Totnes road. Although situated in the parish of Woodleigh, the nearest village is East Allington, which has an Inn and highly-respected primary school. Kingsbridge - known locally as 'The Capital of the South Hams' is 4 miles away and has an excellent range of shops and local facilities which include a health centre, a cottage hospital, a highly-rated (OFSTED) secondary school and a sports centre.
Salcombe, Devon's southernmost town, is some 8 miles distant with its beautiful harbour and unspoilt estuary, renowned as a mecca for yachting and water sports. Salcombe also offers an excellent range of fine shops, restaurants and inns as well as lovely sandy beaches and spectacular cliff top walking.
DESCRIPTION
Stags are delighted to have been favoured with instructions to market The Linhay, truly one of the finest barn conversions we have had the privilege of offering. No expense was spared by the vendors when it was converted in 1994 from its previous use as a linhay barn and the property now affords beautifully-presented and adaptable accommodation which positively exudes quality throughout.
A particular feature of The Linhay is the superb 33 first floor sitting room, with its exposed A framed roof timbers and original oak flooring and French doors which provide direct access to the garden. On the ground floor is the charming entrance dining hall, with part-exposed stone linhay pillar, and part-vaulted gallery. The kitchen measures around 18 in length, has a utility room off and is well-fitted with a range of bespoke furniture.
Both the master and guests suites have their own facilities, whilst the master bedroom has a wonderful, three-panelled glazed ceiling for star-gazing.
It is though, the setting of The Linhay which is likely to be of most interest to the majority of buyers: tucked away at the end of no through road, it is approached over a ford, which also seems to add to the feeling of security. The gardens too are beautiful, being mainly gravelled at the front, but with numerous mature plants and shrubs which give year-round colour, whilst at the side and rear are slightly elevated, mainly lawned gardens from which delightful, tranquil views are enjoyed.
Immediately alongside the property is the land, in the form of a single field which extends to around 5 acres, along the edge of which is a bridle-path which leads to Woodleigh, approximately a mile away.
We would strongly urge a full and immediate internal viewing to fully appreciate the property and the accommodation comprises:
