A very attractive and spacious detached barn conversion with versatile accommodation combining a host of character features which include exposed timbers, wooden flooring, and two wood burners with all modern comforts. The property is set in a semi-rural hamlet which offers excellent access to Exeter, the airport, the A30, and the M5. There is oil-fired central heating, double glazing and private drainage.
The principal sitting room includes a fine brick fireplace with a wood burner as a focal point, and ceiling beams. This room opens into a wonderfully light and airy triple aspect garden room with A-frame timbers, Velux roof lights, and French doors to a secluded patio. On the opposite side of the hall is the good-sized snug which overlooks the garden. From here, an inner hall offers useful cupboard storage, a well-appointed utility room and a downstairs WC with an eye-catching and quirky orange wash basin in a leaf design. The stylish and comprehensively fitted kitchen has a dual aspect with quartz worktops, an island unit and a sink unit with a ‘five-in-one’ Quooker tap. A host of integrated appliances include an induction hob with an extractor hood, three ovens, a grill, a full-height fridge, a separate freezer, and a dishwasher. The kitchen leads into the rear part of the hallway with a vaulted ceiling and a galleried landing. Beyond this is a spacious dining room with a wood burner and a beamed ceiling.
The first floor has an extensive landing which, because land rises to the rear of the property, has French doors opening to the rear garden patio. The landing is large enough to provide a study area overlooking the garden and also includes a very large airing cupboard and a storage cupboard with access to the loft. The master bedroom has a dual aspect and a vaulted ceiling with exposed beams and an ensuite shower room. The guest bedroom offers a double aspect overlooking the gardens, extensive built-in wardrobes, and a beautifully appointed ensuite shower room with a large walk-in shower. Bedroom three has a dual aspect and a vaulted ceiling plus a Juliet balcony overlooking the garden. There are two further bedrooms and a further superb shower room.
Outside
The property is approached through a pair of wrought-iron gates accessing an extensive gravel parking area in front of the detached double garage which includes twin up-and-over doors, power, lighting and stairs to a large loft. To the side of the garage is a concrete hardstand, a further area of garden to the rear, and a vegetable plot comprising gravel pathways and raised beds. The garage has planning permission for extension and conversion to a self-contained annexe (Planning ref 19/0669/FUL dated 10 May 2019 and which we understand has been implemented). From the driveway, a brick pathway with lighting bisects a large neatly maintained lawn with an ornamental fishpond and an outside kitchen offering a wonderful entertaining facility. Adjacent to this is a delightful patio outside the garden room.
To the rear of the property is a good-sized and mainly lawned garden which backs onto fields and which is ideal for children and pets. Mature shrubs and hedging, a climbing rose and patio with raised borders and outside lighting. Steps lead down to a path which connects the gardens on either side of the house via a wrought-iron gate.
