Silverton

Magnificent views extend across some of Mid Devon’s most picturesque countryside from this converted barn, just outside the sought after village of Silverton. This well loved and beautifully crafted home is full of striking character features intertwined with contemporary additions and comes with three and a half acres of garden and paddock.

THE LAYOUT

Accessed off a quiet country lane, the gated driveway opens up and sits in front of the house, with the double garage tucked away here too. Stepping through the front door, the hallway offers an impressive entrance with the herringbone flooring taking your attention and providing an immediate talking point — it was meticulously laid by hand, one piece at a time, by a previous owner and runs through the majority of the ground floor ensuring a elegant flow from room to room.

The hallway has doors to one of the two studies on the ground floor and also through to the boot room / utility area and ground floor shower room. Also from the hallway is the family room / bedroom five and on to the second of the studies and internal entrance to the garage. It’s this end of the ground floor that offers flexibility to create a separate annexe set up if required.

Moving back through the hallway, you step down into the kitchen, with its beautiful curved stone walls and open plan, providing a sociable hub of the house. Onwards you pass into a fantastic dining room, with large woodburner and eye catching stairway leading up to the gallery landing above, before reaching the cosy sitting room, also complete with woodburner.

Upstairs, the four bedrooms can all comfortably house a double bed, and all enjoy beautiful vistas over the garden and beyond. Bedrooms one and two benefit from shower en-suites and the larger bedroom one also boasting a spacious dressing area.

OUTSIDE

Over three acres of land lies to the west of the property, split between just over an acre of exquisite garden and two acres of paddock. The grounds are full of mature trees, including fruit trees, and both the garden area and paddock profit from individual gateways for easy vehicular access. A kitchen garden also occupies an enclosed area near to the barn itself.

A patio area lies outside of the double doors to the dining room, and the outlook from here is really quite special — the perfect place for al fresco dining and entertainment, surrounded by sublime panoramic views.

THE AREA

The property is one of a group positioned just south of the village of Silverton. With countryside walks on your doorstep, including a mile walk up to the village itself, and easy access into Exeter, the lifestyle this home provides is one of rural bliss but without the disconnection to civilisation and community. Silverton is thought to be one of the oldest villages in Devon and it continues to be extremely sought after, with exceptional amenities, including a brilliant doctor’s surgery, convenience store, post office, primary school and two pubs.
