Colestocks Barns, Colestocks, EX14

Full Description

Tenure - Freehold

Welcome to this immaculate semi-detached property located in the quiet hamlet of Colestocks and surrounded by stunning East Devon Countryside. Originally a farm workers cottage, this is one of just five converted farm barns/buildings in this pretty mews style setting. 

A great feature of the property is the approx. 1/2 acre outside space. This is currently set up with two large vegetable patches, cherry trees and a seating area to enjoy uninterrupted countryside views.

The property is approached via a tarmac drive leading to gravelled parking (with two designated spaces), a small fruit orchard and the private meadow.

The property itself has an ample private courtyard, which has been semi-screened by well-established planters. These abut the beautifully tiled centre, with the style and nature of the mews setting creating a very sheltered sun trap. There is currently a powder coated (removable) pergola with sliding sunscreen for alfresco dining during the hotter periods with the potential for summer planting giving scope to create a lush green enclave through spring and summer. The discreet oil store also provides additional space for garden tools, recycling boxes, an outside tap and hose, with the addition of three water butts for low-cost watering.

As you step into the property, you are greeted by a warm and inviting atmosphere with slate tiling and engineered oak adorning the ground floor. The entrance hall gives access to both reception rooms, downstairs cloakroom and stairs to the first floor. The house features two spacious reception rooms. The large triple aspect kitchen/diner offers a bright, ample space for entertaining guests or simply relaxing with family. The modern kitchen is fully equipped with a range of integrated appliances including full height fridge and freezers, dishwasher, washing machine and separate dryer, as well as plenty of cupboards and drawers both at base and eye level, complemented by timber effect work surfaces providing a delightful space for culinary adventures. The dining area being raised gives an attractive demarcation to the areas. The double aspect lounge with exposed beam and focal fireplace offers a comfortable and characterful space to relax.

Upstairs, you will find two well-proportioned bedrooms that offer a peaceful haven for restful nights. Both look out over the pretty courtyard, with the larger master having a dual aspect. The property also includes a tastefully designed bathroom, complete with quality fixtures, fittings, and a deep shelved airing/storage cupboard.

The property benefits from heritage double glazing, a modern oil-fired central heating system including underfloor heating to the kitchen. There is a large boiler / drying room with water softener unit, a good sized, attached storage room with shelving and two internal loft spaces.

Completely renovated 7 years ago, this home is perfect for those looking for a peaceful retreat in a desirable location and close to facilities in the nearby villages of Payhembury and Feniton. Both villages offer excellent amenities including outstanding primary schools (linked to The King’s School Ottery St Mary), and the railway station connecting Exeter and London Waterloo alongside pubs and convenience stores. The A30 dual carriageway and M5 are also within easy reach.
