Lapford, Crediton, Devon, EX17

Occupying a glorious rural position, this recently renovated four-bedroom barn conversion is set in just under 1.5 acres, comes with a large outbuilding, and has far reaching views of Dartmoor.


Situated on the outskirts of the historic village of Lapford, nestled in the heart of Mid Devons stunning countryside, the property enjoys the charm of a peaceful setting while remaining relatively well-connected to local amenities and transport links.

The barn has been meticulously renovated to create a light-filled, contemporary family home. Retaining its unique character with features such as exposed beams and vaulted ceilings, the recent renovations have introduced a modern, high-quality finish throughout. The spacious living areas, including a triple-aspect lounge with a wood burner, a large dining room, a study, and a beautifully appointed kitchen, are ideal for both everyday family life and entertaining. The four generous double bedrooms, with the master suite enjoying its own dressing room and en-suite, provide ample space and comfort.

While offering a true escape to the country, this property's location is its hidden strength. Lapford village itself, a friendly and thriving community, provides essential local facilities including a village shop, a popular pub, and a primary school. For a wider range of amenities, the market town of Crediton is a short drive away, offering supermarkets, independent shops, and a variety of cafes and restaurants.

Commuters will appreciate the excellent transport links. Lapford has its own railway station on the Tarka Line, offering a direct route to the city of Exeter, a major hub for employment and education. The A377 runs nearby, providing easy access to both Exeter and the North Devon Link Road, connecting to the M5 motorway for broader travel. This barn conversion is not just a beautiful home: it's a gateway to the best of Devon, offering a peaceful rural lifestyle without ever compromising on convenience.

Internally the property offers a spacious entrance hall with tiled flooring that extends through the ground floor. At the end of the hall, the sitting room is found, a spacious triple aspect room with a wood burner. A study provides the perfect ‘work from home’ space, and the ground floor shower room has connections for a washing machine and a tumble dryer providing a very useful utility space is located next to the kitchen. A spacious dining room at the end of the house is a room full of character and would equally suit as an additional lounge.

Stairs rise to the first floor and a wide landing gives access to the master bedroom suite which is a large room consisting of a dressing room / nursery with built in wardrobes and an en-suite bathroom. There is a family bathroom and three further bedrooms, all of which are double rooms and have retained some character from the original barn.

Outside, there is a substantial garden, mostly lawned, with well-maintained flower beds and a small, wooded area. It’s a great place for an avid gardener, or for children to run wild. The plot itself extends to approximately one and a half acres. The property attracts a wealth of wildlife including deer, rabbits, hedgehogs and foxes.

To the front of the house is a driveway with ample parking and a large outbuilding of 100m² with power connected. The vendor informs us that the outbuilding has agricultural status, which would increase the chance of obtaining class Q planning.
