DescriptionTucked away on the east side of Bishopsteignton village, you will find Whidborne Court – a one-of-a-kind Grade II listed barn conversion that's both stylish and steeped in history. Renovated with care, it boasts a new thatch roof since 2019 and is impeccably maintained. With almost 2500 sq ft of living space, there's plenty of room for entertaining and working from home. Plus, it comes with two gardens, a spacious garage, and ample driveway parking, offering all the storage and outdoor space you could need.
As soon as you step inside, you will be wowed by the impressive 30-foot open-plan kitchen, dining room, and family room. The spacious design, highlighted by a generous granite island, provides ample cupboard and countertop space. Complete with a twin Belfast sink and integrated dishwasher, the kitchen also features a freestanding seven-ring gas cooker with three ovens and a grill, along with an American-style fridge/freezer. The dining area easily fits a large table and chairs, while the family area is perfect for a sizable sofa.
Double doors open into a versatile reception hallway, suitable for a library or a relaxed snug. A striking timber door leads to the impressive sitting room, boasting an impressive and rather substantial stone fireplace with a bread oven feature, a captivating vaulted ceiling with exposed beams, and access out onto the courtyard. A very handy home office with a convenient mezzanine area above, perfect for quiet reading, finishes this area perfectly. The ground floor also features a spacious utility/drying room, a separate shower room, and an understairs storage cupboard.
Upstairs, the character-filled ambiance persists with exposed timbers and vaulted ceilings. Three bedrooms and a bathroom branch off from the landing. The main bedroom impresses with a floor-to-ceiling glazed window offering views of the neighbouring Vineyards vines, along with an en suite shower room and walk-in dressing room. The remaining bedrooms maintain the charm with exposed ceiling beams and one has a very sweet window seat where you can rest with a book and enjoy the distant estuary views. The main bathroom exudes a country cottage feel, featuring exposed beams, a freestanding roll-top bath, and a corner shower.
Externally, Whidborne Court features a newly renovated Mediterranean-style courtyard with high-end tiles and full fencing for child and pet safety. It is a real suntrap in summer and is an ideal spot for outside dining or to sit and enjoy the peace around you. Across from the courtyard is the driveway area that offers Whidborne Court parking for up to four vehicles. Here you will also find the large garage with a range of substantial storage racking, which can be included in the sale. Next to the garage, steps guide you to the secluded secret garden. It's a true hidden gem, offering complete privacy and seclusion. With a vast lawn bordered by beautiful trees and hedges, there's ample room for growing vegetables and enjoying the stunning views across the estuary and surrounding countryside. It's a peaceful retreat waiting to be enjoyed.
