3 Bedroom Barn Conversion for sale in Exeter

2 3 2

This unique barn conversion is situated away from the road in Half Moon, down a private road and tucked away with plenty of privacy. The location makes it ideal for those with connections to Crediton and Exeter with a short, easy commute. It’s surrounded by local countryside and with the advantage of regular bus services at the top of the drive, it will suit a range of buyers. The popular Hanlons Brewery is within walking distance of the property with its award winning beers and highly regarded restaurant.

The property has an amazing open plan living space on the entrance floor, complete with wood-burner, exposed beams and even river views! Plus there are a couple of bedrooms (1 ensuite) and a year round garden room (currently used as a second sitting area) on the side. There is lots of light throughout, with roof lights and doors opening to outside. The recent window upgrade has added even more light with large glass panes drawing the garden vistas into the house. Down the stairs leads to a further double bedroom and a beautiful bathroom with its own bath and separate walk-in shower. The current owners have not only upgraded the windows and doors but have future proofed with solar panels (with battery storage) and an air source heat pump plus there is the woodburner in the living room for those cosy nights. The system works so well that it’s high on the wish list for the sellers in their new home – especially with the savings on energy use!

Given the unique nature of the actual conversion, the outside setting is fantastic too. Once off the private drive (initially shared) then you’re into the private parking area which has room for 4 vehicles comfortably and leads to the useful garage which is over 12m in length and ideal for those with hobbies or for storage. This could be split to give additional working space but it offers a multitude of uses as it is. The gated entrance to the garden gives super privacy (and safety for those with children or pets) and the garden is of a very good size (see drone photos) and provides various seating areas, lawns and is a real wildlife haven, especially for the birds who frequently visit the feeders.

So in summary, a beautiful, private hideaway barn conversion, close to Exeter but with all you need and on top of that, some eco tech to reduce bills too!

NEWTON ST CYRES, between Exeter and Crediton is widely regarded as one of Devon’s finest villages.  With a gentle stream running through the middle under its ancient stone bridge, alongside the wonderful 15th Century church built in honour of the martyr St Cyres, there are few places which match this tranquil setting.  Numerous circular walks of 1.25 to 7.2 miles are on hand and a visit to the beautiful 9 acre arboretum is a must.  The modern primary school is a fantastic addition and no village is complete without a pub and Newton St Cyres does not disappoint with the atmospheric Beer Engine, a popular watering hole on the Rale Ale Trail, a tour of pubs near stations along the Tarka Line railway between Exeter and Barnstaple.  Belluno Italian Restaurant is also one to visit and cheese lovers can indulge themselves at Quickes Farm shop, based half a mile west along the A377, the main road to North Devon.  These outstanding features are supplemented by that iconic symbol of the English village, the cricket pitch.  The crack of leather on willow fills the air when the village team play in the summer months.  Footballers don’t miss out either – there are two well-maintained pitches, home to Newton St Cyres FC.
