Honiton

Set within the small hamlet of Colestocks, this beautifully presented two-bedroom semi-detached Devon barn conversion offers contemporary open-plan living in a peaceful rural setting, while remaining exceptionally well connected. The property combines the character of a traditional stone barn with modern finishes throughout, including a fitted kitchen, slate tiled flooring with underfloor heating to the ground floor, two double bedrooms and a modern family bathroom. Outside, there is a private front courtyard, access to a communal orchard, and two allocated parking spaces.
Despite its countryside position, the property enjoys convenient access to the A30 (A303) and the M5, providing straightforward connections to Exeter, the wider South West and London via the A303. The location is also well placed for local schooling, including the highly regarded King’s School in Ottery St Mary, making the property well suited to both full-time living and longer-term investment.

Walkthrough - Parking is provided in a communal area adjacent to the shared orchard, a standout feature of the setting, offering open views across the surrounding Devon countryside. From here, a pathway leads through a brick archway into a shared courtyard.

The front door opens directly into the heart of the home: a generous open-plan kitchen, living and dining space. Slate tiled flooring runs throughout the ground floor and is complemented by underfloor heating, giving the space a clean, contemporary feel while remaining practical and comfortable year-round. Natural light fills the room via glazed panels around the front door and two sets of double windows within the living space.

To one end of the room, the kitchen is thoughtfully arranged with modern fitted units, wood-effect work surfaces and a black granite composite sink. Integrated appliances include an ceramic hob, oven, extractor fan, microwave, fridge/freezer, dishwasher and washing machine. The kitchen flows seamlessly into the living and dining area, creating a sociable and flexible open-plan layout well suited to both everyday living and entertaining. A downstairs WC is positioned discreetly off the main living space.

Stairs rise from the open-plan room to the first floor, where a galleried landing provides access to both bedrooms, the family bathroom and an airing cupboard. The landing benefits from natural light and has a pleasant sense of openness.

The principal bedroom is a well-proportioned double room featuring a fun character window with banister, overlooking the courtyard to the front. This feature enhances both the sense of light and space, while comfortably accommodating a double bed and additional bedroom furniture. The second bedroom is also a double, enjoying views to the courtyard and benefiting from a useful storage nook. It would function equally well as a child’s bedroom, guest room or home office.

The family bathroom is fitted with a modern white suite, comprising a bath with over-bath shower, WC, wash hand basin and a heated towel rail.
Outside, the property benefits from its own private paved area to the front, ideal for outdoor seating, entertaining or simply enjoying the tranquil surroundings. Beyond this, the communal orchard provides a rare opportunity to enjoy shared green space with panoramic countryside views, well suited for picnics or informal recreation. Two allocated parking spaces are provided within the communal parking area.

The property is on mains, electric, water and sewage. The heating is oil
