Summary - Highfield Barn, Atherington, UMBERLEIGH EX37 9HP
4 bed 3 bath Detached
Energy-efficient barn conversion with large plot, garage loft, and sweeping countryside views.
Four double bedrooms, two principal suites with en-suites
Highfield Barn is a striking contemporary barn conversion set in about half an acre of grounds on the edge of Atherington. The house blends original rural character — exposed beams and vaulted spaces — with modern, energy-efficient features such as triple glazing, MVHR and underfloor heating. The open-plan kitchen/living space and a conservatory create a bright, sociable heart, with four double bedrooms including two ensuite suites.
Practical living is well catered for: a substantial detached double garage with a loft room above, additional workshop and stores, private electric gates, sweeping gravel drive and plentiful parking. The plot is predominantly level lawn and paddock, offering privacy, countryside views and scope for outside leisure or small-scale equestrian / hobby use.
Considerations are straightforward and factual. The property is rural and fairly remote — hamlet location with average mobile signal — so commuting relies on nearby Umberleigh rail links and car travel. Heating is oil-fed to a boiler, which may be less attractive than mains gas for some buyers and will influence running costs. Council Tax is band E (above average). Any conversion or change of use of outbuildings or the garage loft would need local planning consent.
This house will suit buyers seeking a stylish, low-maintenance converted barn with modern efficiency and generous outdoor space: families wanting room and privacy, professionals needing occasional rail links to Exeter, or second‑home buyers seeking a high-quality Devon base close to Exmoor and the coast.
