4 Bed Detached House For Sale

A glorious rural position, a four-bedroom barn conversion with a large outbuilding, pretty garden and views of Dartmoor.


Situated in rural Mid Devon, surrounded by green rolling hills and far-reaching views of Dartmoor, this attractive barn conversion, comes with a useful large outbuilding (approx. 150m²), and sits within just under an acre of ground.

The property is situated about 2.5 miles to the north of Lapford and has easy access onto the A377 main road along with Lapford train station, 8.5 miles to Crediton, and 17 miles to central Exeter. Lapford is a pretty village with a strong community, with a post office, village shop, public house, Church and a pre-school. Crediton offers all that you need, and Exeter is within easy reach. The market towns of South Molton and Tiverton are also within approximately equal distance.
The barn which dates back to the 1800’s, was converted in 1992 and offers spacious accommodation throughout.

Internally the property offers a spacious entrance hall with tiled flooring that extends through the ground floor. At the end of the hall, the sitting room is found, a spacious triple aspect room with a multifuel stove. A study provides the perfect ‘work from home’ space, and a ground floor shower room which has connections for a washing machine and tumble dryer, provides a very useful utility space, and is located next to the kitchen. A dining room at the end of the house is a characterful room and is currently used as a very useful family / hobby room.

Stairs rise to the first floor below which is a large storage cupboard. A wide landing gives access to the master bedroom suite which consists of a dressing room / nursery with built in wardrobes, an en-suite bathroom, and the bedroom is a particularly good size totaling just under 24m². There are three further bedrooms, all of which have retained some character from the orignal barn, and a family bathroom.

The vendors have made some improvements to the property since their occupation, with a new roof being fitted just over a year ago.

The property is part of a small development of four; the original Farmhouse, The Granary and two barn conversions – The Courtyard and Broomsmead Lodge. The drive serves all four properties, from which a gated drive leads into the courtyard.

A steel framed 4-bay, part block-built barn measuring 150m² is included in the sale, along with a useful lean-to of approx. 40m².

The garden is well established, and offers space for pets, and children, and there is an option to purchase further land if required.

This is a wonderful opportunity to buy a family property in the country, and whilst some cosmetic work would be beneficial, it offers you the chance to put your own stamp on your next home.

The vendors are offering the opportunity to buy additional land of up to 18 acres.
