Last proporties for sale in Raleigh

A charming, Grade II listed, barn conversion set in a tranquil courtyard location near the heart of this highly sought after village. It is believed the property was originally a Threshers Barn formed around 1785, but was converted in 1989. Despite recent improvements many characterful features have been retained.

The internal accommodation is generously proportioned, particularly the large reception rooms which provide superb entertaining areas with French doors to the gardens. Highlights include charming double aspects and window seat with a superb wood burning stove as the main focal point. The stylish kitchen is well planned and fully integrated, granite worktops and the Rangemaster double oven and grill are notable assets, whilst the useful utility room offers additional appliance space, another sink unit and access to the rear gardens.

All the bedrooms enjoy charming aspects over the landscaped gardens and useful eaves storage. An en-suite shower room and family bathroom provide additional flexibility and convenience.

The owners have undertaken substantial improvements during their tenure; the property has been rewired and replumbed. The central heating has been replaced by a modern and efficient Fischer heating system. The en-suite shower room has been completely refurbished. The thatch roof was inspected and improved in 2018.

To the front of the property there is a paved area creating private parking for two cars. The front garden is then mainly laid to lawn with shrub and flower borders. Immediately to the rear of the property there is a stone paved terrace. From here steps rise to the main area of garden, which is mainly laid to lawn with attractive and well stocked flower beds and borders. There is a charming, thatched summerhouse and adjoining shed with a paved area for al fresco entertaining in front. Beyond the summerhouse there is a further large area of lawned garden backing onto Anchoring Hill, which is rented from Clinton Devon Estates at a current annual rent of £110.
