An incredible barn conversion situated on the edge of Sparkwell, adjacent to Dartmoor National Park This four bedroomed property has been meticulously renovated by the current owners since purchased in 2020 and has been finished to an excellent standard with impressive Eco-credentials and the convenience of smart home technology including Alexa-enabled voice controls for lighting. The property has a rich history and was a former shippen belonging to the neighbouring Grade II listed Baccamore Farm House, originally listed as 'Bachemore' in the Domesday Book in 1086.
You enter to a spacious reception hall with seating area, a useful cloakroom and cloaks cupboard. A large opening leads into an impressive open plan kitchen/dining/living room with vaulted ceilings, exposed beams and electric roof windows. Whitewashed wooden ceilings give a 'New England' feel, with a clean and neutral interior giving a sense of calm and space throughout. The 'Charles Gray' kitchen is centred around a large quartz island, ideal for entertaining. Appliances are all wifi-enabled with an Insinkerator tap for boiling water and chilled filtered water as well as a Caple wine cooler and corner larder cupboard. There is plenty of space for a dining table, with a step leading down to the living area which has French doors with fitted shutters.
All of the four bedrooms in the barn have French doors plus built in wardrobes and en suite bath or shower rooms with Grohe or Mira sanitaryware. One of the bedrooms is not connected internally to the main house and is currently used as a successful rental unit. This would be a great source of additional income for a purchaser, or could be utilised as an office or guest room.
The property has an impressive 'A' rated energy rating and benefits from solar panels and electric air source heating and water.
The gardens have been beautifully landscaped with a contemporary feel, enhanced by soft lighting, attractive stone paving and various covered seating areas. The planting around the patios has a Mediterranean feel with mature olive trees and lavender complimented by cottage garden planting in the borders. There is a good size lawn with a stylish pergola, plus a pond tucked away in the corner. Electric sliding gates with a secure entry system give access to a gravelled parking area for several cars with a garage and gardeners WC completing the property.
