4 bedroom barn conversion for sale

Binneford is a small hamlet with a handful of attractive properties nestled in a wooded valley in rural Mid Devon, conveniently situated just 10 minutes drive to the A30. The property was originally a Devon long barn dating back to the mid 18th century. In its previous life it was a two storey farm building housing both cattle and horses. The initial conversion dates back to the 1980s and the current owners have substantially improved and modernised the property.
