Higher Ringmore Road, Shaldon, TQ14

DESCRIPTION Ringmore Barn is a beautiful, semi detached period-style property with classic external aesthetics having rendered elevations set beneath a Devon thatch and small paned windows. Whilst the property has period styling, it is in fact a barn conversion which was completed around 1990 and therefore has many of the advantages of a more modern building to include a "C" rated EPC. The accommodation is beautifully set out and has much character and charm. A thatched open entrance porch opens to the entrance hall which has a slate tiled floor and a cloakroom/WC leading off. The sitting room is a particularly lovely dual aspect space with character ceiling beams and a period-style fireplace with a contemporary-style log burning stove. Leading off this space the dining room is a lovely triple aspect room with ample space for a large table and chairs, prefect for entertaining etc. The kitchen/breakfast room is also a good space with rustic farmhouse styling, an extensive range of units with granite work surfaces, an Everhot stove and an integrated dishwasher. To the first floor the rooms have high ceilings and exposed trusses. The two larger bedrooms are set at either end of the property have en-suite shower rooms and the two secondary bedrooms have fantastic mezzanine sleeping floors. There is also a modern family bathroom with a Whirlpool-style bath. The outside spaces meld with the character of the inside of Ringmore Barn perfectly. A secure electric roller door opens from the approach lane to the courtyard-style parking area, which also opens to a car port which has an EV car charging point. The principal outside space is a beautiful Mediterranean-style courtyard garden, laid to block paving and being particularly sheltered and private, a wonderful spot for outside entertaining etc. There are also an excellent range of two-storey outbuildings with a large utility/boot room, a store room and a fantastic upper floor games room/studio which could serve a good variety of possible uses.
