DESCRIPTION
A brand new detached 3-bedroom stone barn conversion in the highly sought-after village of Westleigh surrounded by rolling countryside, yet only just over a mile away from the sandy beach at Instow. Extensive parking and good-sized gardens of approximately 0.3 of an acre.

The accommodation is to a high standard, maintaining many of the eye-catching original external features, tastefully blended with a contemporary interior. The property enjoys a wealth of natural light, benefitting from large glazing to the front, French doors to the back, a gallery landing, and Velux windows on the first floor.

On the ground floor is the kitchen/diner, fitted with a range of units, integrated appliances and breakfast bar, there is space for seating and French doors which lead out to the south-facing terrace and garden. There are also two bedrooms and the bathroom which includes WC, sink and side panel bath with shower above. The oak staircase with glass balustrade takes you to the living room and principal bedroom with built-in cupboard space and shower en-suite, both rooms benefiting from Velux windows and wonderful countryside views.

The property is approached via a private driveway which leads to a gated entrance and paved parking area for 5-6 vehicles. There is potentially space here for a garage or workshop (subject to planning)
The gardens to the property do not disappoint, with a partially walled south facing terrace and garden to the rear enjoying fine views and more garden to the front with pathway leading to the front door. On from here is a large private area of lawn which backs onto open fields, this will be laid to lawn but is a complete blank canvas for any buyer and could be used as a more formal garden, vegetable garden or simply an area for a family to enjoy all ball games!

Being offered with no onward chain, we envisage this could be suitable as a main residence, second home or a successful holiday let.
