Summary - HAREBELL COPPLESTONE CREDITON EX17 5LA
5 bed 4 bath Detached
Spacious 17th-century family home with paddocks and annexe potential.
Five double bedrooms all with en suite bathrooms
Dating from the 17th century, this attractively presented detached home combines period character with comfortable, flexible family living. Over 2,700 sq ft of accommodation includes exposed beams, leaded windows and original fireplaces, with a south-facing aspect that brings light to principal rooms. The kitchen with an Aga, dual-aspect family room and a welcoming inglenook sitting room create warm, usable living spaces for daily family life.
Set in about 2.4 acres, the gardens and grounds are a major asset. Landscaped lawns, an orchard, greenhouse, ornamental pond and paved terraces provide private outdoor rooms, while two adjoining paddocks and outbuildings — including stabling, workshop and potting sheds — suit horses, small livestock or hobby farming. Electronically controlled gates give secure parking and easy access for multiple vehicles.
The house currently offers five double bedrooms, each with an en suite, and the principal bedroom benefits from a large walk-in wardrobe. Two entrances and separate staircases mean the property can be configured as a main house plus annexe, offering multi-generational living or rental potential subject to obtaining necessary consents. Practical conveniences include mains services, oil-fired central heating and double glazing installed after 2002.
Buyers should note some material considerations: the property is heated by an oil boiler (not on a community supply), broadband speeds are slow in this rural location and council tax is higher (Band F). Any change of use to formalise an annexe or increase rental use will require planning and building regulation approvals. Overall, this is a substantial, characterful country home ideal for families or buyers seeking equestrian or smallholding facilities close to village amenities and rail links to Exeter.
