Five double bedrooms and three reception rooms for flexible family living
Sitting room with exposed beams and brick fireplace
Large kitchen/dining room with range cooker and utility space
Approximately 2.35 acre plot with paddock and panoramic countryside views
Range of outbuildings: stable block, kennel, hen house and stores
Electric storage heating; higher running costs likely
Solid brick walls with no assumed insulation — potential retrofit needed
Very slow broadband speeds; not ideal for heavy remote working
Set within about 2.35 acres of paddock and formal garden, this five-double-bedroom barn conversion combines period character with flexible family living. Exposed beams, a brick fireplace and a large kitchen/dining room create warm, sociable spaces, while two staircases and multiple reception rooms allow home working or guest accommodation.
The plot includes several outbuildings — a timber stable block, kennel, hen house and stores — plus garage and parking for several vehicles. The property enjoys elevated countryside views and a private, secluded position approximately three miles from Exeter city centre, offering a rare blend of rural tranquillity and city access.
Practical considerations: heating is by electric storage heaters and the walls are solid brick with no assumed insulation, which will influence running costs and may require upgrading. Broadband speeds are very slow; this is important for home workers. Council tax is above average. Despite good mobile signal, buyers should factor in potential energy and connectivity improvements.
This home will suit a family seeking space and character with equestrian or smallholding potential, or buyers wanting a substantial rural home near Exeter. It offers immediate charm and long-term scope — with scope for modernisation to improve energy efficiency and connectivity.
