DESCRIPTION Halton Barton Barn is situated in a commanding yet private position overlooking a stunning wooded valley with the meandering river beyond. Originally of 16th century origin, it now is an impressive and beautifully presented 4 bedroom family home. It enjoys exquisite views over the Creek and the River Tamar towards open countryside with Pentillie Castle and Estate in the distance. The current owners sympathetically converted the property, once part of the Pentillie Estate, over a period of 2 years completing the major works in 2005.

Although extending to 3570 square feet and set in nearly 3.3 acres, the property is easy to maintain and efficient to run with state of the art energy saving equipment including air source heat pump, PV panels and solar thermal panels. ACCOMMODATION Crossing the threshold a spacious entrance hallway leads to the drawing room and kitchen. The drawing room, originally conceived as a formal dining room, has evolved into a family/music room. The bespoke and hand built chestnut kitchen units under granite work surfaces coupled with Miele appliances are a chef's dream, with plenty of space for a breakfast table. Located off the kitchen is a pantry which provides access onto the terrace.

The landmark sitting room is entered from the kitchen and is deeply impressive, with vaulted ceilings, an open fireplace and a Minstrels' gallery which links to the gardens via its own bridge. At the far end of this room is a small library and separate shower room.

To the first floor there are four bedrooms and a family bathroom. Two of the bedrooms offer en suite facilities. The master bedroom, in particular provides impressive vaulted ceilings and a P-shaped shower bath. This bedroom retains the original features of a former threshing barn as ventilation slots are still in place and have been glazed. The guest bedroom features an en-suite shower room with Delabole slate tiling and a multi- jet shower unit. THE SHIPPEN Planning permission has been granted for conversion into a self-contained two bedroom dwelling. (Plans are available upon request). Alternatively, this could easily be reincorporated into the main property offering additional bedroom accommodation or the provision of a games or cinema room.
