Orchard Coombe, Slapton

Converted to an extremely high standard in 2012 by Dart Developments, this small collection of just 7 barns is situated in an idyllic spot in the Devon countryside, offering a slice of Devon living, yet within distance of Slapton Ley and Torcross beach.

Oaken is a place where one can unwind and take in the surrounding vista. The property boasts modern living with LPG fired underfloor heating throughout, but still oozes charm with vaulted ceilings and exposed roof trusses. Upon entering the barn you are greeted by a spacious hall, having plenty of room for muddy boots or sandy shoes. The stylish, bespoke kitchen/dining room which is stylish, bespoke and installed in 2021 by The Wood Shed in Kingsbridge, is the heart of the home, having Caesarstone worktops, a large Rangemaster cooker, larder cupboard, Belfast sink and island. The lounge is light and airy with front and rear French doors leading into the garden. On the ground floor you will also find a cloakroom and store room.

Stairs lead you up to the first floor, with the principal bedroom having an en-suite shower room, together with two further bedrooms and family bathroom.

Outside, the property benefits from front and rear gardens. The rear garden is well maintained being mainly laid to lawn with a patio area, making al-fresco dining a delight. At the top of the garden there is a bespoke, fully insulated outbuilding, which has climate control powered by the air source heat pump, this would make a great spot to work from home. Not only do you have a large garden, but there are communal areas which can be enjoyed including an apple orchard stocked with various heritage fruit trees. As well as residents parking, the property comes with a large garage with a Tesla electric car-charging point. High speed internet is available through SpaceX Starlink and data cables have been installed between the house and the outbuilding.

The property is currently occupied by tenants and is being sold with no onward chain.

One of the South Hams' most sought after villages, Slapton is charming, picturesque and has a community website that shows how the sweeping hands of time have had little effect on Slapton. The village has a post office/general store, two pubs, a village hall and the beautiful Church of St James. Slapton is a short stroll away from Slapton Sands, a three-mile beach used as a training ground in ill-fated preparations for the D Day Landings. More local shops and public houses are at Strete, Torcross and Stokenham. The A379 separates Slapton Ley, a large freshwater wildlife haven, from the sea at Start Bay. There is a regular bus service on the A379 to Kingsbridge and Dartmouth, each about 8 miles having an abundance of amenities. Totnes mainline railway station is about 12 miles away with the A38 expressway just beyond.
