5 bedroom detached house for sale

IntroductionCombe Barn is set in a wonderful position with 8.30 acres of land on the edge of the popular village of Lustleigh within Dartmoor National Park. The property has been developed by the current owners and offers 5358 square feet of large, spacious living accommodation and five generous bedrooms.The sellers acquired Combe Barn in 2007 with the benefit of planning to demolish and rebuild a new dwelling. Reflecting on the development potential the vendors considered there was considerable merit and character with the existing barn and achieved a planning consent to extend a significant new build wing and rebuild the barn element. The project was completed in 2009.
