Barn View is a recently built, energy-efficient five-bedroom home designed to maximise panoramic views across the Teign Valley. Floor-to-ceiling glazing on the south- and west-facing elevations floods the principal living spaces with daylight and frames long, unimpeded countryside vistas. The house offers 4,685 sq ft of flexible accommodation including a large open-plan kitchen/living/dining room, principal suite with dual-aspect glazing, and an upper walk-through home office leading to an additional bedroom with en suite.
The lower-ground level provides strong lifestyle and leisure value: a dedicated cinema with tiered seating, a games room and a gym with shower room. Practical features include an attached double garage, ample tarmac parking behind electric gates, composite stone and timber cladding for low external maintenance, and high-spec insulation for energy efficiency. The house sits in about 1.61 acres of grounds backing onto woodland, with a wide paved terrace, barbecue area and extensive lawn — a blank canvas for landscaping.
Location strengths include very low local crime, excellent mobile signal, proximity to Christow village amenities and highly regarded local schools, plus straightforward access to Exeter and rail links. There is no flood risk and the plot adjoins the East Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, with Haldon Forest and Dartmoor close by.
Buyers should note material drawbacks: broadband speeds are very slow, the property is approached via a shared lane and driveway, council tax is described as quite expensive, and the garden is newly established and will require the owner’s landscaping decisions. Overall this property suits buyers seeking a high-spec, contemporary rural home with strong lifestyle facilities and significant outdoor space.
