Barn 3 ‘Shippon’ has planning permission in place for full residential use, making it suitable for extended family, or as a long term let generating additional income. It offers a living room, kitchen and utility area downstairs, and three bedrooms plus a bathroom upstairs.
Barns 1 & 2 are being sold fully furnished and ready for the new owner to start generating income from on day one.

Beyond the barns can be found The Devon Lodge. This fantastic Canadian-style timber cabin is built from rough-hewn logs and offers rustic charm but with all the conveniences for modern living. The majority of the interior of the cabin is taken up with the spacious open plan living, dining and kitchen area with striking vaulted ceiling to the front and wide-plank flooring throughout. This gorgeous space is filled with light via the large windows to the front and sides, as well as the large skylights overhead. The fully-equipped kitchen offers plenty of worktop space and cupboard storage. At the rear of the ground floor is the spacious wet room with shower cubicle. Timber spiral stairs lead up to the mezzanine sleeping area with clever open storage built in to the eaves. Outside to the rear is an open porch and utility room with plumbing for a washing machine, as well as the fully-enclosed private courtyard garden with hot tub. A rope-fenced decked area wraps the front and one side of the cabin - a great spot for outdoor dining or enjoying the built in porch swing!
The lodge is being sold furnished and ready to go!

The Watering Hole is set in its own grounds totalling approximately one and three quarters of an acre, comprising formal gardens for the main house and barns plus two paddocks.
