Carkeel, Saltash, Cornwall, PL12 6NR-Property For Sale-With Land-4 Beds-Stunning Views

Spectacularly positioned above the River Tamar with breathtaking views of Dartmoor, this beautifully converted Grade II Listed detached barn offers a rare combination of character, space and versatility, all surrounded by idyllic grounds of approximately 2.2 acres. The setting is magnificent with a variety of garden areas and principal rooms oriented to take in the stunning valley landscape, creating a strong connection between the house and its surroundings. The reverse level accommodation includes an impressive triple-aspect reception room with doors opening directly onto the garden and terraces, allowing light to pour in while framing views towards the Tamar Valley – an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB). The large living room is uniquely designed as much for quiet enjoyment as it is for entertaining, with convenient direct access to the outside terraces in the Summer months. The central heart of the barn links the principal living spaces with the master bedroom and downstairs accommodation. The kitchen room is fitted with a range of farmhouse style units and centred around an island and breakfast bar that lends itself to everyday living and informal gatherings. From here, doors lead out to a decked terrace, an ideal spot for outdoor dining. The dining room provides a more formal setting, positioned to enjoy good natural light and a sense of separation from the main living space. The bedroom accommodation is arranged to offer both comfort and privacy. The luxuriously appointed principal double bedroom includes fitted wardrobes and its own lavish en-suite, while the remaining three double bedrooms, including a further en-suite are also well proportioned and served by an additional, contemporary family bathroom. The layout provides flexibility for family life or visiting guests, with sufficient space for privacy and relaxation. Beyond the main living areas, the barn reveals further character through its additional rooms. A substantial entertainment/games room with its own ‘pub-like bar’ creates a sociable and usable environment, while a separate office offers a quieter retreat for work or study. A utility room adds practicality, with direct access to the outside paved patio area. Approached via a private driveway, the property opens into a private parking area for up to 4 cars with a substantial detached double garage which has potential to convert (STP). The distinctive gardens wrap around the barn offering a series of varied spaces that range from terraces and decking to lawns and planted borders. There is a sense of expanse and variety throughout the grounds, with different areas to sit, dine or simply enjoy the spectacular views from the decking. The recently landscaped 100 ft garden extension includes a planted orchard with fruit trees and maturing hedging. There is direct access from the garden to the adjacent rewilded land which extends to about 2.5 acres and currently yields substantial yearly crops of blackberries and apples. It also incorporates an enclosed paddock and is a natural habitat for flora and wildlife. The elevated position of the decking area creates an unrivalled viewing platform that captures some of the finest views in the area across the surrounding countryside and towards the Tamar Valley and beyond towards Dartmoor. Carkeel lies on the western bank of the Tamar, just outside Saltash, placing the property within a landscape of recognised natural and historic importance. From here there is easy access to Dartmoor and Bodmin Moor, as well as the south coast, while Plymouth and Saltash provides a range of everyday amenities close at hand.
