Description

Welcoming to the market for the first time in over 20 years The Gilwells is a beautifully presented two-bedroom barn conversion offering the perfect balance of rural charm and superb connectivity tucked away in the picturesque and highly sought-after village of Longdown. Surrounded by rolling Devon hills and open fields, it enjoys far-reaching views across the valley towards Exeter, while being just a short drive from both the city centre and Dartmoor National Park.

The property's interior blends character with comfort, featuring exposed beams and brickwork throughout. The welcoming hall leads to a well-appointed bathroom with corner bath and two double bedrooms provide generous space and natural light, including a charming main bedroom with garden views.

The bright and elevated kitchen/diner is perfect for entertaining, with a breakfast bar, practical storage, and access to the garden via cast iron steps. A dual-aspect lounge with a wood burner creates a cosy focal point for relaxed evenings.

Outside, the tiered garden is a true highlight - mature trees, shrubs, and lawn areas combine to create a tranquil, private space with a paved terrace for alfresco dining. Additional benefits include a garage (third on the right), with two parking spaces in the courtyard, and a large car port at the entrance to the development.

Longdown is a thriving, friendly village with a strong sense of community. It's home to the popular Lamb Inn and an active village hall hosting a range of local events. Excellent schools - including Exeter School and The Maynard School - are within easy reach, making it an ideal setting for families.

Despite its peaceful setting, the A30 dual carriageway is only 3.5 miles away, providing fast connections to the M5 and A38 for easy access to Exeter, Plymouth, and beyond.
