Keaton Barns, Holbeton, Plymouth, Devon

3 Bedroom Terraced House for sale in Plymouth

1 3 2

Positioned within a charming cluster of converted barns and the original farmhouse, 1A Keaton Barns enjoys a wonderful South Hams setting, surrounded by open countryside with the coast close by. Recently renovated by the current owners, the barn combines characterful features with an easy sense of modern living, while the views stretch across farmland to the sea in the south and northwards towards Dartmoor. With Mothecombe Beach nearby and the South West Coast Path within easy reach, it offers a rare blend of rural and coastal living.

The surrounding landscape is a significant part of the appeal. From the barn, the patchwork of fields falls gently towards the coastline, while inland the outlook opens across the South Hams towards Dartmoor. It is this combination of countryside, coastline and distant moorland that makes the setting so special; peaceful and immersed in nature, yet never far from some of the area's most loved places.

The Property
From the gravelled parking area and garage, a path leads to a small courtyard and the entrance to the barn. The accommodation is arranged over two levels. On the lower floor, the entrance hall, finished with engineered oak flooring, leads to two bedrooms, both with exposed beams and oak window lintels, together with a shower room. Upstairs, the barn opens into its main living accommodation, where the sitting room, kitchen and principal bedroom are all arranged on this level.

The sitting room occupies half of the original roundhouse and is a particularly characterful room, with exposed timbers and lintels, and an attractive exposed stone feature wall. French doors open onto the terrace and garden, with sea views beyond. Recently installed, the bespoke kitchen pairs dark blue cabinetry with crisp white worktops to create a clean, contemporary look. Integrated appliances add to the seamless finish, while a mix of base and wall units, including glazed display cabinets, provides practical storage and an attractive focal point. Thoughtfully positioned lighting enhances both function and atmosphere, giving the space a warm, modern country feel. Stairs rise from the kitchen to a large loft storage area, offering flexible use. The principal bedroom is a generous and light-filled space, with engineered oak flooring underfoot, views across the garden and the benefit of an en suite shower room.

Outside
Opening directly from the sitting room, the patio provides an easy extension of the living space, perfectly placed for long lunches or morning coffee in the sun. Beyond, a long, wide lawn unfolds towards sea views, with the surrounding farmland lending a lovely sense of being immersed in the countryside. Generous in size, the garden offers plenty of room for children to play, while also presenting exciting scope for a more landscaped planting scheme, whether as a cottage garden, kitchen garden or a combination of both. To the front of the property, a gravelled parking area is shared with just one neighbouring home, with each property benefiting from its own parking area and garage.

The Location
A short drive away, Holbeton is one of the South Hams' most picturesque villages, with its thatched cottages, village pub, shop and post office, and strong sense of community. The village is well supported, with a play park, village hall, community orchard and a range of local events throughout the year. In the other direction lie Newton Ferrers and Noss Mayo, popular estuary villages known for their waterside setting, sailing community and excellent everyday amenities. Newton Ferrers offers a Co-op, pharmacy, post office, deli, coffee shop and well-known pubs, while both Holbeton and Newton Ferrers have popular primary schools. School bus services run from nearby Battisborough Cross to Ivybridge Community College and Plymouth College. From the property, it is a short walk to join the South West Coast Path, while Mothecombe Beach is close at hand for days on the sand, coastal walks and year-round dog walking. The Schoolhouse restaurant is also nearby, and Mothecombe House regularly opens its gardens and hosts events throughout the year. Altogether, this is a setting that combines the best of South Hams village life with easy access to the coast, estuary and surrounding countryside.

Summary
This is a home that would suit a number of uses, whether as a main residence, an appealing holiday home or a holiday let, given its proximity to Mothecombe Beach, the coast path and some of the area's most popular villages. Above all, it is the quality of the position that makes it so compelling: a beautiful, recently modernised barn conversion, closely connected to the surrounding landscape, with the sea in one direction and Dartmoor in the other.
