A stunning detached four bedroom barn conversion that is set on two acres of land. The property benefits from a paddock, gardens, a double garage and from an office.
The property enjoys a rural location to the South of Exeter and yet within only six miles of the city centre, this former barn has been converted to a high standard to provide comfortable family accommodation retaining much character which blends well with contemporary additions. The well planned layout features a substantial double storey building constructed in attractive Heavitree Stone providing a large sitting room leading to a conservatory, whilst on the first floor there is a master bedroom suite with far reaching rural views and an additional bedroom with en-suite facilities. Two further bedrooms with a shower and family bathroom are ideal as guest suites being separated from the main part of the barn by a kitchen breakfast room and a superb dining room with a fine vaulted ceiling and full length windows providing ample natural light and an outlook over the front garden and paved courtyard.
The entire property is full of charm with many substantial timbers, cottage style doors and windows with deep sills. There are also a number of exposed brick walls and a large stone fireplace with wood burner in the dual aspect sitting room. Outside the property stands in attractive formal gardens, part of which overlook an adjoining paddock with small copse, which in turn backs onto open fields providing a delightful rural setting. A central paved courtyard at the front of 'Rose Barn' leads to a former stable block now utilised as a double garage and an office.
The hamlet of Splatford is within easy reach of the A38 Devon Expressway connecting to the M5 motorway and A30 Trunk road. The popular Devon villages of Kennford and Kenn are but a short distance away offering a range of amenities including post office, village inns and Primary School. For anyone who enjoys country walks and wildlife 'Rose Barn' is well placed for the picturesque Forestry Commission woodland in Haldon Hill, with its picturesque cycle and rambling routes, the area being well known for deer and a variety of bird species.
