With 3.3 acres of garden and paddock this superb barn conversion is perfectly set up for very comfortable country living, yet lies less than ten minutes from the M5 and Tiverton Parkway Station, ideal for commuting - London Paddington in 2 hours.


This fine rural property was sympathetically converted from a barn in 2001 and provides very spacious and beautifully presented accommodation, principally at ground level, which would equally suit a family, professional couple or those in early retirement, who would enjoy the extensive garden and land.

From the entrance hall, the reception rooms create a great atmosphere of space and light, with high ceilings, feature timbers, an impressive glazed screen between the sitting room and dining room and a series of Velux roof lights. The sitting room is perfect for relaxing at the end of a busy day in the garden and has an attractive brick fireplace housing a wood burner. A large open arch leads from the kitchen, which is extensive, with Velux roof lights and enjoys a lovely outlook over the garden. The kitchen is fitted in a classic oak style with oak work surfaces, two Belfast sink units, a range cooker with a five ring gas hob, double oven, grill and warming oven and space and plumbing for other appliances. At one end of the kitchen, our clients have added a good sized conservatory, used for summer dining and enjoying a great view over the garden and adjoining patio.

Beyond the sitting room, lies the principal bedroom, with a range of fitted wardrobes, and a useful bathroom beside it in the inner hallway, fitted with a white suite, including a bath and large shower cubicle. The two other bedrooms are at the opposite end of the accommodation, both double rooms with mezzanine floors over providing plenty of extra space, great for sleeping, home or office work or lounge areas, ideal for children or guests. Next to these rooms, there is another shower/cloak room in the entrance hall.

The property benefits from double glazing throughout and LPG (Liquefied Petroleum Gas) fuelled central heating, supplied from a discreet underground tank on site, with under floor heating in the bathroom.

Outside, there are two patio areas for sitting out enjoying the sunshine, one behind the barn, accessed from the dining room, which is a walled sun trap, with a sunny, southwesterly aspect, and the other at the right end of the barn enjoying the sun throughout the day.

On approach, through the double, five bar gates, there is ample parking leading to the large double garage, stores and a large workshop.

The established garden slopes gently away from the house and has some lovely features, including an attractive box hedge garden, originally landscaped by 'The Flying Gardener' as part of the TV series! Principally laid to grass with mature trees and shrubs, a central stream and pond feature and a productive fruit and vegetable patch, the garden is an absolute haven for any keen gardener or delightful area for children to play.

Opposite the barn, the other side of the lane, lies a 2.6 acre paddock which is laid to pasture and currently grazed by horses and goats. In the middle of the block of land, there is a small yard with two stables, a feed store and haybarn, perfect for winter housing and managing livestock.

Services: Mains electricity and water.
LPG (propane) gas central heating.
Private septic tank drainage.
Tenure: Freehold
Council Tax: Band C
Local Authority - Mid Devon District Council

Agent's notes: if a prospective purchaser were not keen to have the paddock land, there would be other local interest and this could be pared away from Elderberry Barn. Please discuss this with Rob Hann, Seddons.

Part of Elderberry Barn is attached to the neighbouring property but to all intents and purposes, it looks and feels detached, with the principal windows and garden facing away from the neighbour's property.

Elderberry Barn lies less than a mile from the centre of Uffculme which offers a good range of local services, including a convenience store, garage offering a comprehensive range of services, pub, churches, a village hall, event venue with sports grounds, a doctor's surgery and veterinary practice. The secondary school is Ofsted rated 'Outstanding' and there is a popular primary school. There are regular bus services through Uffculme and quick motorway access, ideal for commuting to Exeter or Taunton. Frequent trains also run from the nearby Tiverton Parkway Station (Paddington in 2 hours). Culmstock is about three miles away, with a range of local services including the popular Culm Valley Inn, The Strand Stores and Cafe and a popular primary school.

The popular Tiverton Golf Course and Tiverton Parkway Golf Centre and driving range lie within easy reach, for the keen golfer. Exeter Chiefs and Somerset Cricket Club are also very handy!
