Set in just under an acre, Oakhayes is a substantial six-bedroom barn conversion with commanding countryside views and generously proportioned living spaces. The heart of the home is an open-plan kitchen/family room with an oil-fired Aga, two islands and double doors onto a raised patio — ideal for family life and entertaining. Formal reception rooms, a study/ground-floor bedroom and a large principal bedroom with ensuite provide flexible accommodation for a multi-generational household.
Outside, thoughtfully landscaped gardens, a wildlife pond and extensive parking are matched by valuable outbuildings: a four-section barn, gym/table-tennis room and a three-bay car port. The gated courtyard and separate driveway offer secure parking and useful storage for machinery or vehicles, supporting hobbies or small-scale home enterprise.
Practical details are straightforward: freehold tenure, oil-fired central heating with boiler and radiators, double glazing installed post-2002, and very low local crime. Commuting is convenient to Honiton station and the A30/M5, while local schools and services lie within easy reach. The property sits in a very affluent, rural area on the southern edge of the Blackdown Hills AONB.
Important drawbacks to note: broadband speeds are very slow, which may limit remote working without investment in connectivity solutions. There are only two bathrooms to serve six bedrooms, and heating relies on oil fuel, which can be more expensive and requires tank maintenance. The house is partially attached at one corner to a neighbouring bathroom, which may be a consideration for some buyers. Council tax is described as quite expensive.
