About this property
Great Torr Barn is located in the peaceful and pretty South Hams village of Kingston, Devon, less than a mile from the unspoilt sandy beach of Wonwell. A large, detached property, boasting a private swimming pool (at an additional cost) and substantial gardens, it’s the perfect bolthole for both relaxation, and exploring the South Devon coast and countryside.
The double-fronted oak doors lead into a spacious entrance hallway, which lead to the cloakroom and adjacent utility room. On the ground floor, you will find four of the five double bedrooms. The master en suite is spacious, with French doors leading out to the garden. The second bedroom is also a double, whilst the third and fourth are large twin rooms. In addition, there is a family bathroom on the ground floor. The fifth en suite bedroom is on the first floor, enjoying a King-size bed. The fully fitted first floor kitchen is well equipped, with an open archway leading through to the dining area. The open-plan dining/living area is full of character, with a dividing central stone chimney breast (with gas stove) separating the sitting area, which is comfortably furnished, with three large sofas, wingback chairs and bean bags. Outside, there is a substantial area of mature, well maintained gardens with large lawn area and garden furniture. The property also boasts a private swimming pool which can be hired at an additional £350 per week, set in a separate stone building, accessed via the garden.
Parking is available for up to four cars on the private driveway. Wireless broadband is available.
Kingston is a pretty, traditional Devon village, well off the beaten track in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, just one mile from the River Erme’s beautiful wooded estuary and sandy Wonwell beach, which is dog-friendly all year round. Access to the South West Coastal Path could not be easier for those wishing to explore the many coves and inlets nearby. The village is ideally located just a short drive away from Bigbury-on-Sea and the famous Burgh Island with it’s Art Deco Hotel and Pilchard Inn. Within the village is a traditional pub, the Dolphin Inn, with roaring log fires and a welcoming atmosphere.
