A handsome 16th‑century barn conversion offering spacious, flexible living across a characterful main house and separate annexe. The open-plan kitchen/diner with vaulted ceiling and a sociable central island forms the heart of the home, while exposed beams, a wood-burning stove and period features deliver genuine character. Generous bedroom accommodation includes three en‑suites and dressing rooms; the annexe/studio provides a useful home office, hobby room or fourth bedroom.
Outdoors, the property sits in an attractive village setting with direct access to the village green and church grounds. The very large plot includes a private paved courtyard, a lawned garden with fruit trees, greenhouse and established planting, plus off-street parking for up to eight cars — ideal for multi‑vehicle households or visiting family.
Practical points to note for buyers: the house is Grade II listed, which will affect alterations and may cause delays or additional costs for works. Heating is oil‑fired with a Grant boiler; broadband speeds are reported as very slow. Council Tax is in Band F and the property is sold freehold and chain free. There is a recorded history of minor flooding from a nearby brook; a culvert has since been installed to reduce future risk, but buyers should satisfy themselves on current flood protection and insurance implications.
This is a strong choice for families seeking village life with roomy accommodation and outbuildings, buyers wanting a countryside retreat within reach of Exeter and the coast, or anyone needing ancillary space for home working. The combination of period charm, usable annexe and substantial parking makes it versatile, but the listed status and practical service limitations are important considerations.
