Look inside this “exceptional” barn conversion for sale which played a part in the history of the Co-operative Society.

Hareston Farm Barns, in Yealmpton, were built by the Plymouth Co-operative Society - which later merged with the larger Co-operative Group - in 1908 as part of its rapid growth.

The barns were converted into residential homes in 2019, and are constructed of local stone with brick quoins and granite dressings.

On entering the house, there is an open-plan living area, which incorporates the kitchen, which features a wood-burner style gas fire, while also on this level is a WC and storage space.

Moving upstairs, there are two spacious double bedrooms which feature exposed beams, built-in wardrobes, and en-suite bathrooms.

Throughout the home, there is underfloor heating with individual thermostat control units for each zone, and engineered oak flooring.

Outside, the property includes a peaceful garden, a private patio, and two garages, with the added benefit of a communal car park for visitors.

There are also communal grounds, consisting of 3.5 acres of meadow, which is suitable for dog walks or picnics.

The property is being sold by Luscombe Maye and is listed for a price of £550,000.

The agent commented: “This exceptional two-bedroom barn conversion in the exclusive Hareston Farm Barns development combines rustic charm with modern comfort.
