4 Bedroom Barn Conversion for sale in Lifton

Characterful Rural Property with Two Barn Conversions, large lawned Gardens & easily adaptable outbuilding with potential. Multi-generational living or rental potential.

Situated in an attractive and accessible countryside setting, Higher Beeches offers a particularly versatile combination of two individual two-bedroom barn conversions, generous gardens and a substantial garage/workshop.
The property lies approximately 2 miles north-west of Lifton, a popular village offering a useful range of everyday facilities. These include a village shop and post office, community centre, pubs, restaurants, hotel, filling station/general store, primary school and the well-known Strawberry Fields Farm Shop.
Despite its rural surroundings, the property is well placed for access to the wider area. The A30 is approximately 3 miles away, with Launceston around 7 miles to the west and Tavistock approximately 8 miles to the south-east, with Dartmoor National Park nearby.

A gated entrance leads into a generous parking and turning area, with the two converted barns positioned around attractive level gardens. The grounds provide considerable space for outdoor entertaining, family use, gardening or simply enjoying the surrounding countryside. Mature trees add interest, while a paved terrace creates a natural area for outdoor seating and dining. There is also an ornamental pond and plenty of opportunity for further planting or landscaping.
A feature of the property is the substantial garage and workshop. With its generous proportions, full-height roller door and separate pedestrian access, it offers excellent storage and workspace for hobbies, vehicles, equipment or a motorhome. There may also be scope to convert or adapt the building for alternative use, subject to obtaining the necessary planning and building consents.

The combination of two independent homes and extensive ancillary accommodation makes Higher Beeches particularly interesting for purchasers looking for flexible living arrangements, accommodation for extended family, or an opportunity to generate additional income.
