A new grand design in the East Devon countryside offering lavishly appointed accommodation in a peaceful location, yet close to Honiton and with quick motorway and rail access for commuting. Two similar plots remaining.

Russet Barn is a newly built property, one of four similar designs on the site of the original agricultural barns of Egremont Farm and has been completed to a high specification making it an extremely energy efficient and environmentally friendly residence for the future. To compliment this, the accommodation has been beautifully finished with high quality fittings to provide contemporary living, with some classic additions, making a very comfortable, country home.

On approach, an impressive front door leads to the magnificent reception hall with a hand finished, Italian oak cantilever staircase built by local engineers and craftsmen. The adjoining, feature wall is hand finished in Venetian plaster by a local, nationally renowned expert and the staircase leads to a galleried landing, with a stainless steel and glazed balustrade, giving a light and spacious feel on entering the property. A large cupboard for shoes and coats is conveniently placed beside the front door.

The hall is open plan to the large kitchen, which is a very spacious with ample room for dining and a generous sitting or play area. The bespoke kitchen has been fitted in a sharp, grey, Shaker style, with Silestone work surfaces. Integral appliances include a five-ring induction hob, an electric oven, a second combi/microwave oven and full height fridge. In addition, there is a dishwasher and a Belfast sink unit with a Qooker tap for boiling water, so no need to put the kettle on! An island unit suite includes a breakfast bar for relaxed dining and a wine cooler, within easy reach. The kitchen has bifold doors, part of the fully glazed gable end, leading to the patio and garden, perfect for summer barbeques and entertaining when fully open. For the cooler seasons, the floor is fully tiled with underfloor heating which extends throughout the ground floor with the bathroom and en suite shower room having dedicated systems to be used in isolation, if required.

The utility room, adjoining the kitchen, is fitted in the same style, with a full height larder freezer, and a useful door to outside.

The versatile accommodation has two downstairs bedrooms, one of which could be used as a home office, and the other with an opulent en suite shower room. This, and the lavishly appointed downstairs bathroom and en suite to the principal bedroom, have unique Duravit units and Vado taps and showers. The sitting room is a generous size and perfect for relaxing at the end of the day, away from the activity of the kitchen and family room.

Upstairs, the light and spacious landing has two double wardrobe cupboards and bedrooms either side. The principal bedroom has great light from Velux windows and is fitted with a beautifully tiled and luxurious en suite shower room. The second bedroom, overlooking the living space, could also be used as a second sitting room, dressing room or study to complete an impressive suite of bedroom accommodation on the first floor.

Outside, a shared drive leads to the property's private drive and ample parking, including a carport for two vehicles, with an electric vehicle (EV) charger, brick paving and parking to the fore. Beyond, there is an extensive lawn garden and farmland beyond.
