The first recorded purchase of the barns believed to be 1773 when they were bought from a retired sea captain called Codnor, the property was described on the deeds as “a set of old barns”, an archaeological survey has dated them to about 1700 or late jacobian, the Codnor family owned the barns until early 2000. The property occupies what feels to be a semi rural residential position but is within easy walking distance of local public house on the Newton Road where there will be a new Edginswell train stop that connects Newton Abbot, Exeter and London beyond. It is also within easy reach of The Willows with their array of shops, facilities and amenities and also within close reach to the newly constructed by-pass which connects Newton Abbot, Exeter and the M5 beyond. An internal inspection is highly recommended to appreciate the size, position and condition the accommodation boasts.
