Description
Two Oaks is a much-loved family home of 33 years and an outstanding and beautifully presented period barn conversion, enjoying a peaceful rural position on the outskirts of Exeter and set within 2.35 acres of immaculate paddocks and grounds. Backing onto open farmland and surrounded by rolling countryside, the property offers a rare combination of space, light, privacy and flexibility.
Originally forming part of Eastwood Farm, Two Oaks was thoughtfully converted in 1993-94 into a comfortable and characterful family home, with careful attention paid to preserving its heritage while delivering modern living standards. Exposed timber beams, historic inscriptions, reclaimed materials and vaulted spaces sit effortlessly alongside contemporary upgrades and infrastructure.
The accommodation extends to over 3,000 sq ft and is arranged with exceptional versatility. The front entrance under a large oak timber -framed porch sets the scene. The front door opens into a generous reception hall. The lounge is rich in character featuring original beams and a striking double-sided glass Scandinavian fireplace, creating warmth and flow between spaces.
The farmhouse-style kitchen / dining room is both sociable and practical, offering ample space for family living and entertaining, with doors opening directly onto a private south facing suntrap patio. A utility room, boot room and large wet room provide excellent day-to-day functionality, while a ground-floor bedroom offers flexibility for guests or multigenerational living.
The first floor is accessed via two staircases, reinforcing the adaptable layout. The master bedroom enjoys a generous en-suite with sunken bath and heated flooring, while further double bedrooms are served by a modern family bathroom and shower room. A superb room with vaulted ceiling above the garage, created by the current owners, enjoys full-height glazing and far-reaching countryside views and offers flexibility for a fifth bedroom, office or sitting room.

Seller Insight
“When we bought the house 33 years ago, we immediately fell in love with it and could see its potential. Over the years we have transformed it into the spacious family home it is today. Updating the kitchen / dining and lounge, and building two further bedrooms with ensuites has made a huge difference to the way we live. The extensive grounds have been perfect for family life with plenty of space for entertaining with a south facing patio or just chilling in the evening looking at the outstanding views and sunsets.
The location has been just as special, set on a quiet country lane with no through traffic and surrounded by lovely neighbours, it offers a peaceful setting within easy distance of excellent schools and the city centre. It has been the perfect balance of city convenience and a quiet peaceful haven of seclusion and calm and space for our family.”
