St. Gennys,
Bude, EX23 0BH

A rare and exciting opportunity to acquire this beautifully presented 2/3 bedroom semi detached barn conversion, occupying a superb rural setting within the sought after parish of St Gennys, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, with grounds and paddock extending in total to approximately 2.59 acres.

Old Dairy Barn offers a wonderful balance between traditional character and contemporary living, with the original stone barn providing warmth, charm and a wealth of period features, whilst the impressive modern extension, added by the current owners in 2022, creates a striking contrast with vaulted ceilings, excellent natural light and a versatile mezzanine level.

The original section of the property features an inviting open plan living/kitchen/dining space, beautifully enhanced by exposed stonework, timber beams, slate flooring and a wood burning stove, creating a superb sociable heart to the home. This area provides ample space for both relaxed seating and dining, with direct access to the garden and patio areas.

The modern extension has been thoughtfully designed to complement the original barn, offering a further spacious living room with vaulted ceiling, large windows, French doors and a bright, contemporary feel. From here, stairs rise to a mezzanine bedroom/office space, ideal as a third bedroom, home office or studio area, with access to a terrace enjoying views across the surrounding countryside. The ground floor also includes a useful study area and sitting/hobbies room, providing flexibility for home working, guest accommodation or additional reception space.

The first floor offers two generous double bedrooms, with the principal bedroom benefiting from an en-suite shower room, together with a well appointed family bathroom.

Externally, the property is approached via a shared entrance track which leads to the side of the property and around to a parking area providing ample off-road parking for Old Dairy Barn. The gardens are attractively arranged, with a level lawn, patio seating areas and a separate useful store/utility building. Access to the paddock is also found from the parking area via a five bar gate, with the land divided into two enclosed areas comprising an initial smaller paddock and a larger paddock beyond. The separate paddock extends to approximately 2.2 acres, with the whole site extending to approximately 2.59 acres.

An internal viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate the character, setting, versatility and lifestyle appeal this exceptional home has to offer. EPC TBC. Council Tax Band C.
