Amazing £750,000 opportunity arises in Devon

A lovely barn conversion with numerous substantial outbuildings in an idyllic semi-rural location is up for grabs. Blackberries is an opportunity for those seeking a slice of the ‘good life’. The property was once part of a farm estate belonging to Tale Manor before being separated into two separate smallholdings and farmed until the mid 2000s.

The current owner purchased the barn and outbuildings in 2012 and spent the next 15 years renovating Blackberries. The main house offers comfortable accommodation over one level, whilst the comprehensive range of buildings ideally suit prospective purchasers with their own business or for those looking for hobby space and potential to add value.

Higher Tale is a small hamlet of individual properties and farms set in a semi rural location. The thriving village of Payhembury with a pub, church, primary school in the Kings catchment area (rated outstanding by Ofsted) and community shop is less than 1.5 miles to the east. The larger nearby village of Feniton has a range of facilities, including a mainline station on the Waterloo line.

The property’s main reception space follows an open-plan design with a beautiful, vaulted ceiling using oak beams and cedar which complements the oak flooring. The kitchen follows on with the quirky design where you will find a mix of contemporary units with solid wooden work surfacing and many handmade design features including the breakfast bar, a triple tap sink unit and a custom designed fireplace housing the solid fuel Stanley Errigal cooker.

There is ample space for a dining table and a relaxed lounge area arranged around the wood-burning stove. The sleeping accommodation consists of three well-proportioned bedrooms set off an inner hallway and a smart family bathroom with roll-top bath and separate shower enclosure. The master bedroom features en-suite facilities and built-in wardrobe.

Blackberries certainly does not disappoint when it comes to the outside. The property is approached from the lane side via a shared courtyard entrance which in turn leads to a large brick paved and cobbled parking area belonging to the property. To the northern boundary is an attached brick outbuilding that has been renovated to include a garage with high level door, large workshop, utility room with WC and additional garage/store.

To the front of the property is a pretty lawn garden with covered seating area and wildflower beds. Running alongside the main residence is access leading to the two-storey cobb barn. This beautiful building offers great potential for improvement and has a staircase leading up to a boarded loft room with ample head height. Beyond the cobb barn is a paved courtyard complex featuring two pillared open-fronted barns. One barn has been adapted for further storage as well as adding a potting shed and a rustic outdoor kitchen with covered seating area.

There is a well tended lawned garden, with established shrubs and a fruit cage. Outside water supply and power to many of the buildings. The gardens and grounds are in all about 0.36 acre (0.14 ha).
