3 Bed Barn Conversion House For Sale Haldon Road, Exeter, EX4

This charming grade II listed barn conversion sits on the hillside between the villages of Silverton and Bickleigh, with a stunning outlook down the Exe Valley. Originally dating back to the 19th century, the barn was once a cart shed for the nearby farmhouse, alongside further barns which form the courtyard layout. It was converted to a residential dwelling in the 1990s, with many of its original features seen throughout the property today.

THE LAYOUT

The property can be entered via two doors from the front. The one used primarily by the current owners opens into the kitchen, which lies at one end of the barn. A lovely open space and with a window over looking the front garden as well as a roof window, it enjoys plenty of natural light. From here, you pass through the dining room and into the sitting room — a superb vantage point to take in the breathtaking countryside views across the valley. Continuing through, you head to the bedrooms and bathroom. The main bedroom again has the same aspect as the sitting room, ensuring a picture perfect scene to catch a glimpse of through the window as you wake up. This bedroom also benefits from an ensuite, complete with a separate bath and shower.

OUTSIDE

The courtyard in front is split between this property and the neighbour across the way. A combination of lawn, trees and bushes but also with an easterly facing paved area — a perfect morning coffee spot! Across the lane is the access down to the main garden. A picturesque setting with mature trees, lawn and plenty of space to grow whatever takes your fancy! It’s an ideal location to socialise or just surround yourself with nature. There is off street parking for two cars, with the dedicated space just a little further up the lane from the property itself.

THE AREA

Leigh Cottage offers the opportunity to embrace the rural lifestyle but without distancing yourself too far from amenities. The nearest village, Silverton, lies to the south and ensures access to exceptional amenities, with a brilliant Doctor’s surgery, convenience store, post office, primary school and two pubs. Bickleigh, to the north, has the popular pub, ‘The Fisherman’s Cot’, and Bickleigh Mill — a local favourite for afternoon tea! The A396 can be quickly accessed from the property, enabling simple connection to both Tiverton and Exeter.
