Shobrooke, Bradley Farm, EX17

The Old Granary is one of those homes that perfectly balances rural charm with everyday convenience. Forming part of an attractive courtyard development of just five converted barns, it enjoys a peaceful setting surrounded by countryside whilst being only five minutes from Crediton and around ten miles from Exeter. It's a location that feels wonderfully rural and secluded, yet is far more accessible than first impressions might suggest.

Lovingly converted and subsequently updated, The Old Granary blends character and craftsmanship with modern comforts. Entered through a traditional barn door, the welcoming hallway and beautiful staircase immediately set the tone for the quality found throughout the house.

The accommodation is generous and exceptionally versatile. The sitting room is a wonderfully light and comfortable space and since purchasing the property, the current owners have added a superb glazed garden room which creates a seamless connection between the sitting room and the gardens beyond, allowing the outside to be enjoyed whatever the season. Alongside is the spacious kitchen/breakfast room, very much the heart of the home, with ample workspace, a breakfast bar and plenty of room for family life and entertaining. A separate utility room provides excellent practicality and, importantly, gives direct access into the integral garage, meaning you can come and go without stepping outside, something many buyers will appreciate. A ground floor WC completes the accommodation.

On the first floor are five good sized bedrooms, two of which enjoy en-suite facilities, whilst the remaining bedrooms are served by the family bathroom. Many of the rooms enjoy lovely views across the gardens and surrounding countryside, adding to the feeling of peace and privacy.

The quality and presentation continue outside, where the gardens provide a wonderful extension to the living space. Beautifully arranged and providing colour, texture and interest throughout the seasons, they were originally designed to an award-winning standard using plants originating from previous Chelsea Flower Show Gold Medal gardens and have continued to evolve over the years.

Elsewhere, a raised decking and barbecue terrace catches the last of the evening sunshine and provides the perfect place to relax and entertain, complete with a wood-fired hot tub for those special occasions.

Practicality has not been forgotten either. There is private parking directly in front of the garage, a useful garden shed and the attractive courtyard setting gives a real sense of community without compromising privacy.

Environmentally, the property is equally impressive. Solar PV panels generate electricity and continue to provide an attractive Feed-in Tariff income until 2036, currently producing approximately £1,550 to £1,650 per annum. Solar thermal panels help provide hot water. The property is heated via an oil fired boiler. There is piping in place for a ground source heat pump should a new owner wish to connect this.

Beautifully presented and thoughtfully improved, The Old Granary offers a lifestyle that is increasingly difficult to find. Combining character, generous accommodation and exceptional outside spaces, all within minutes of Crediton and easy reach of Exeter, it is a home that truly delivers the best of both worlds.

CREDITON is a vibrant market town with a bustling high street full of independent shops, eateries, and pubs. In recent years a diverse arts scene has grown to include all manner of mediums, with the performing arts making use of the town’s market square where, in the summer months, a range of activities take place. The market square is also home to the town’s twice-monthly farmer’s market. The town has an equally significant past. It was originally the first Bishopric in Devon and the imposing Parish Church of The Holy Cross now stands where once stood Devon’s first Saxon cathedral (909-1050AD). It is also the birthplace of Saint Boniface, one of the founding fathers of the Christian church in Europe. Easily commutable to Exeter and with two primary schools, a secondary school with sixth form as well as a wide range of necessary amenities, it’s clear why the town is a firm favourite with locals and relocators alike.

SHOBROOKE, located 1½ miles north-east of Crediton, is a pretty village with thatched cottages dotted along the broad lane which forms the village’s main thoroughfare. Sat among Devon’s rolling hills, residents enjoy a peaceful existence but are also well served by an active village hall community offering a gamut of recreational pursuits from yoga to Ceilidh’s. A network of footpaths provides opportunities for outdoor pursuits while nearby is Shobrooke Park, the gardens and parkland of a former stately home since demolished. A favourite with dog walkers, the park is home to a large fishing lake, a grassy amphitheatre, and holds a variety of events across the year. Crediton is a short drive away and offers a range of amenities; from independent shops, supermarkets to doctors and dentists. Crediton is also the nearest location for primary and secondary schooling.
