Full Description

Underhill Real Estate Agents are delighted to present this beautiful barn conversion, nestled in a pretty hamlet near Talaton. This property ideally suits the Executive Professional and family, offering all the tranquillity of rural living with the convenience of good road links to the major towns, schools and cities of Devon and beyond.

Talaton village itself holds a community hall, church, post-office and an attractive 'Tudor style' public house, the Talaton Inn. There are pleasant walks which follow the river Tale, mentioned in the Doomsday Book, to the delightful Larkbeare and the spectacular grounds of Escot. Feniton Railway Station, on the Exeter to London Waterloo line, is just over 2 kilometers away.

The local primary school, rated ‘Outstanding’ by Ofsted, and the highly regarded Kings Secondary School, are nearby, and the exceptional selective Colyton Grammar school is within reach. The market town of Cullompton, less than 20 minutes by car, provides a range of shopping facilities, two primary schools, a secondary school, leisure centre and a junction with the M5. A similar distance away, the nearby heritage town of Honiton just off the A30 has an excellent range of local high street amenities, a secondary school and sixth form college; supermarkets; and main line rail station to London Waterloo and Exeter St Davids. The Cathedral city of Exeter offers a superb range of shopping and leisure facilities, including the current national Rugby Champions, Exeter Chiefs. Exeter, the county capital, has direct main line railway connections to London Paddington, Bristol, Cardiff, Birmingham and the north, and an international airport on the eastern side of the city. The beaches of the Jurassic Coast area less than half an hour away by car.

Designed and undertaken by the current owners in 1997, the property boasts a wealth of character features sympathetically enhanced with modern conveniences of double glazing and central heating. Double wood doors, bordered by bespoke cathedral style double glazed windows, open to the grand entrance foyer with a particularly striking central staircase rising to the first floor, showcasing the exposed timber beams in the walls and vaulted ceiling. Decorative stone stairs lead to spacious living room with stripped wood floorboards, exposed beams, impressive chimney and wood burner with triple aspect bespoke double glazed windows to the front, side and rear elevations and a double glazed wood door exiting to the garden. The dining room, again with exposed beams and bespoke double glazed window to the front aspect, has double doors opening to the country style fitted kitchen with double glazed window overlooking the rear garden. The utility has fitted units and work surfaces along with space and plumbing for the washing machine, upright fridge/freezer. The boiler and electric consumer unit are also installed and the barn style door conveniently gives access to the rear garden and a second door leads back to the main entrance foyer. An archway leads to a coat and shoe store and the downstairs cloakroom.

Following the stairs to the first floor, the galleried landing makes a dramatic focal point, giving the home an open and airy feel. Two storage cupboards and an access hatch to the remaining loft space provide additional storage. There are three double bedrooms and a spacious forth currently being used as a study. One with a master ensuite bathroom and separate family bathroom. The sloping ceilings in each room are fitted with velux windows as well as bespoke double glazed windows where practicable. In the master bedroom are several coloured glass bricks retaining the original pigeon coup access as was popular in the 1800's and 1900's, a true feature of the original barn.

The enclosed rear garden enjoys a great deal of privacy and is landscaped with low maintenance in mind. Shrubs and gravelled paths add diversity around the paved patio, an ideal space for alfresco dining. A timber gate gives pedestrian access to the side. The double garage positioned in a separate block has two sets of double timber doors.

Overall, a wonderfully impressive property deserves to be viewed. Viewing strictly by appointment. Please call 01392 477775 to arrange.
