The phrase 'wow factor' is sometimes overly used but in this particular case, Harefield House justifiably deserves that accolade. Well worthy of the title of a 'Grand Design', this stunning and very high quality barn conversion sits in a delightful rural setting close to Barnstaple, the coastal town of , the fabulous golden sand surfing beaches at Woolacombe as well as the Exmoor National Park. The home sits in just under an acre of mainly level gardens which surround the house and back onto open fields at the rear. The open and sunny position enjoys far reaching views in all directions over the neighbouring countryside and towards the Exmoor National Park in the distance.

Planning permission for the conversion of the barns into two dwellings was granted back in January 2018 under Application number 64209 Class Q(AB) and Associated Operational Development. Harefield House has been beautifully created and finished to an exceptional standard providing 315m2 (3,390ft) of accommodation arranged over two floors, comprising 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms and a fabulous 29ft (8.98m) x 27ft (8.49m) living room and kitchen which has a high vaulted ceiling and a wall of glass at one end which beautifully frames the rural views to the rear and allows direct access to the sun terrace and gardens. In addition to the main living room, there is a further lounge/snug, a utility room, ground floor wc, and three double sized ground floor bedrooms, all with their own en suite facilities. There is also a further room, currently used as a dressing room that would form a fifth bedroom if needed. The master bedroom suite occupies the first floor and is very impressive with its size and design with a dressing room and a large beautifully appointed en suite shower room. Within the bedroom there is an oval bath, reminiscent of that in a high end boutique hotel, set on an oval slate plinth which allows the user to sit and soak and enjoy the views over the countryside from the large picture window which also overlooks the living room below.

The barn has a very modern industrial feel and is clad in steel and larch boarding under an aluminium roof. The high end specification includes Calor gas fired underfloor central heating throughout with controlled zones and double glazed windows and doors. The decor has an exquisite finish and is stylish throughout with a contemporary feel.

The planning permission also granted consent for a second dwelling albeit that has now lapsed as the works haven't been completed on this unit. The second barn, known as Well Field Barn is ready to be converted and is clad in similar materials to that of Harefield House and at present has a further 189m2 (2,000ft2) of floor area. The proposed plans comprise a single storey fully residential home comprising 5 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms and a large open plan living/dining/kitchen with bi- folding doors onto the gardens. Alternatively, this barn also has consent for conversion to an ancillary leisure complex (App No 70771) but, of course, could equally be used as garaging, workshops and stores depending on the needs of the owner.

Harefield House and Well Field Barn have their own independent driveways and car parking areas and the grounds that amount in total to just under 1 acre, can easily be split to form two large plots for each unit helping retain privacy and independence from one another. There is also further planning consent granted for 2 sets of garages.

This superb property is perfect for those looking for that change of lifestyle from the busy urban areas and larger cities. The peace and quiet of its surroundings and views in all directions offer a great getaway from the hustle and bustle. There is ample space and versatility within the accommodation for those looking for that live/work from home opportunity as there is a separate, spacious detached home office building which has heating and water. This building is also ideal as a gym or a studio or similar. The home is ideal for those looking for dual family occupation or for a high quality home and income set up or to use both Harefield House and Well Field Barn as high end holiday homes/holiday lets. For Harefield House, it is estimated that potential annual income from holiday letting would amount to between £80,000 - £90,000 with a similar level likely from Well Field Barn once that is converted and ready to use. There is a little know tax incentive, Capital Allowances, that can be exploited for those looking to use the property as a furnished holiday let which could well mean significant savings on income tax (subject to certain criteria). More information on that is available upon request.
