THE Tallet House is Grade II Listed and is thought to date from the 17th Century or earlier.
For many years it was a Tallet, the Devon name for a hayloft, and is understood to have been converted into a delightful home about 35 years ago.
The property is constructed of stone and cob, with leaded casement windows under a thatched roof.
The area of Lustleigh known as Wreyland features in a book entitled 'Small Talk at Wreyland' by Cecil Torr who, it is understood, wrote much of the book in the bedroom of the Tallet House long before it was converted from an agricultural building.
The Tallett House presents a unique opportunity to purchase a beautiful home which has undergone an extensive program of refurbishment and modernisation to a very high standard.
The well-proportioned, bright-living accommodation offers a unique blend of modern contemporary living, but with the immense character of the circa 17th-century building coming through.
The large sitting room features a stone fireplace and wonderful oak-framed alcove and window seat.
On the southern elevation a beautiful, timber-constructed conservatory provides further living space and overlooks the well-tended garden.
The dining area lies next to the re-modelled oak kitchen, fitted with a comprehensive range of stylish units and integrated appliances.
There is also a utility room and contemporary shower room on the ground floor.
On the first floor there are two fabulous double bedrooms with fitted storage. Both rooms feature ornate plastered ceilings and the second bedroom has an impressive old wood mullioned-and-transformed window with oval-moulded mullions.
There is a further beautifully-presented shower room upstairs and a hatch with a ladder leads to the large, insulated loft storage space with window.
The property is being marketed by Fine & Country Homes from Pennys, at an asking price of £525,000.
