Located in the garden is a big natural rock formation and there is a level upper lawn and some woodland and plenty of parking. Fowlers strongly recommend viewing this fine home to properly appreciate it.
Situation
West Barn is located in the small Dartmoor settlement of Furlong which sits mid-way along a private lane enabling access to both the A382 at one end, and the village of Sandy Park at the other where there is a pub. The lane is used only by Furlong residents and working farmers. The ancient Stannary town of Chagford is approximately 1.5 miles away where there is a wide range of day to day and specialist shops, pubs, cafes, a Primary school, pre-school and Montessori school, surgeries for doctor, dentist and vet and a Parish Church, Chapel and a Roman Catholic church. The whole area is criss-crossed with footpaths and there is easy access to riverside, countryside and the nearby open moor. Exeter is approximately 19 miles and the A30 dual carriageway is about 3.5 miles.
