Barley House

About this property

... in the heart of Talaton is striking Grade II listed Talaton House, a former rectory, renovated from its 18th cent. origins and surrounded by acres of beautiful parkland and specimen trees. Beside the house, the original stables, groom’s cottage and hayloft have been finely converted with flair into four excellent cottages, all exceptionally well done with smart design, stylish furnishings, oak/tiled floors and sleek kitchens.  A sweeping drive (shared with the friendly owners’ main house) leads to the cottages. They all look over scenic parkland alongside the main house and you are welcome to wander the vast lower lawns (picnic benches, barbecue area, dogs on leads welcome) and peaceful circular woodland walk. Groom’s Cottage, Gardener’s Cottage and Barley House each have a gravelled terrace (table/seating) at the front, made private with attractive planting and pleached trees. Loading/unloading outside the cottages; shared parking area, just beyond (10 to 30 yards). An outstanding location; much thought has gone into making these superb places individual, stylish and comfortable.

Barley House (see arrow 3) sits end-of-row with wide, gently sloping paved path/ramp alongside the gravelled terrace (bench, tables/chairs) to front door; light-filled open-plan living/dining/kitchen (dishwasher, washer-drier, microwave, fridge-freezer, induction hob/electric oven) with TV/DVD/Blu-ray, wireless speaker and big glazed doors to front terrace. Ground-floor double bedroom (5’ bed) and wheel-in shower-room (wet-room suite, overhead and hand shower attachments, grab rails). Upstairs, two further bedrooms, both with apex beams – a double (zip-linked 6’ bed or twin) with en suite bathroom (suite, shower over three-quarter size bath), and a twin (zip-linkable to 6’ double) with en suite shower-room (wet-room suite); upstairs en suites are behind partition walls without ceilings. Super-smart and comfortable, particularly convenient for those with limited mobility.
