SITUATION
Staverton Mill is a beautifully restored mill on the banks of the River Dart in Staverton, a pretty village renowned for its steam trains, Sea Trout Inn and some of the best walks in the area. The A38 at Buckfastleigh is just 4 miles away providing fast access to Plymouth and the M5 at Exeter, with intercity trains running from nearby Totnes.

The location is perfect for canoeing, walking, fishing or visiting one of the area's many attractions including nearby Riverford Farm (home to an award winning organic restaurant) and historic Dartington Hall with its exclusive shops.

DESCRIPTION
Saddleback was converted from a courtyard of stone barns and has been owned by the vendors for 21 years. The two-storey barn has been well converted and has the ability to be adapted to provide a self contained annexe at one end. The barn is stone faced with brick quoins and timber casement windows under a slated roof with Velux windows upstairs. The barn enjoys a south facing view over its large level lawned area of garden with a fishpond and a gravelled drive with parking for at least four vehicles.

ACCOMMODATION
From the gravelled drive, two steps lead up to the front door, which provides access into the quarry tiled entrance hall. The doorway on the left leads into the kitchen/breakfast/family room with pine timber floorboards, windows to the front and rear, with exposed ceiling timbers. The kitchen comprises a range of base and eye-level kitchen units with space for the Rangemaster Leisure range, which is included in the sale with Leisure extractor fan over. There is space and plumbing for a dishwasher and space for a tall refrigerator.

From the dining/snug end there is a pair of patio doors providing access to the small courtyard area at the rear. A pair of glazed pine doors lead through to the vaulted sitting room, again with exposed pine floorboards, with an impressive brick fireplace with a working open fire. There is a pair of patio doors leading out to the front patio and garden area and an exposed timber staircase providing access up to the mezzanine area and into the bedroom accommodation.

From the entrance hall, turning right, the hall continues to provide access to the ground floor shower room with WC. This end of the barn conversion has the potential to be adapted to create an annexe with a second rear door to the front onto the raised patio area. Door into a further reception room, currently used as a downstairs studio, with windows to the rear and a timber staircase with storage under, providing access up to a double bedroom with exposed ceiling timbers and Velux window. Behind the bed is a door which links up to the first floor landing of the main part of the house.

The main set of stairs rises to the first floor landing, which has enough space for a desk underneath the Velux window, door to bedroom 3, with a further door to an en-suite bathroom and the blocked door to bedroom 2. Door to a further bedroom to the right, again, all these rooms have exposed ceiling timbers, and is currently set up as a single room with a door to a dressing area which in turn provides access to a bedroom 1 (double) with an en-suite bathroom. From this bedroom the door leads through to the mezzanine area with exposed steps down to the sitting room.
