Shobrooke, Crediton, EX17

5 Efford Barns is a really appealing combination of character, space and setting. Part of a small collection of converted barns in a semi-rural position near Shobrooke, it has many of the features you'd hope to find in a barn conversion, with exposed timbers, vaulted ceilings and a wood-burning stove, while still working really well as a practical three-bedroom home. The location gives you that feeling of being out in the Devon countryside, but with Crediton close by and Exeter within easy reach.

Inside, the rooms are well proportioned and there's a nice flow to the ground floor. The living room has plenty of character, with the wood-burning stove providing a natural focal point, while the kitchen/dining room is a particularly good size. The kitchen and dining areas are partially divided at present, which works well, although there's scope to open them up further if you wanted one larger farmhouse-style kitchen/dining space. Upstairs, the vaulted ceilings and exposed timbers really come into their own, bringing height, light and character to the first floor. There are three bedrooms, with the principal having its own en-suite, alongside the family bathroom.

Outside, the barns sit within large shared gardens and grounds, giving you plenty of green space to enjoy without the upkeep of a large garden entirely of your own. There's a communal courtyard and parking area, with spaces for No. 5. It's a lovely setup for someone drawn to the character and rural feel of a barn conversion, but who still wants a manageable home with good connections to Crediton and Exeter.
