Converted in 1994, this former cider barn sits in a valley near Exeter in Devon and offers a good deal of privacy. The property has been steadily improved by its present owners over their occupation, and this includes a ground floor extension and an en suite to the master bedroom.
Character features remain, including exposed beams, brickwork and stonework. The kitchen/breakfast room is double height and the breakfast area has lots of space for a dining table and chairs – there is direct access to the terrace from the kitchen.
Accommodation in total comprises: Living room, kitchen/breakfast room, study, three bedrooms and a family bathroom.
