Blackler Barton, Landscove, Ashburton Guide Price £875,000 (Tenant Fees)
Kai Iwi is a barn conversion, beautifully converted by the current owners and has benefited from the love and attention to detail, creating a lovely family home. The barn dates back to circa 1846, and retains many of the original features including original internal timbers that are visible throughout. Converted around 2020, the property now includes many modern materials & techniques that ensure a well-insulated family home. There is an air source heat pump (which provides both hot water and underfloor heating), a whole house ventilation system, and an extensive ground water drainage system. To fully appreciate the effort that has gone into creating this lovely home, a viewing is highly recommended.
Rooms
AccommodationGround Floor The large glazed front door opens into a spacious hallway with a galleried ceiling, exposed timbers, original stonework, and a feature glass-topped well. Doors lead through to two bedrooms, a shower room, a study, a laundry, and a plant room housing the heating and ventilation systems. There are several useful storage cupboards, plus another door leading through to a one-bedroom annex. Annex This can be accessed both from the main house and from two private doors from the lane. The annex offers an open-plan living room/kitchen, one bedroom, and a modern shower room. There is the potential to knock through to an adjoining outbuilding to create further living space. First Floor Stairs rise from the rear of the entrance hall to a wonderfully expansive open-plan living space with a wealth of exposed beams and timbers. The room has been designed to show the history and integrity of the original barn whilst providing an extremely comfortable living/dining area.
