4 Bedroom Detached Barn Conversion, Yeoford, Crediton, EX17

Binneford is a small hamlet with a handful of attractive properties nestled in a wooded valley in rural Mid Devon, conveniently situated just 10 minutes drive to the A30.  The property was originally a Devon long barn dating back to the mid 18th century.  In its previous life it was a two storey farm building housing both cattle and horses.  The initial conversion dates back to the 1980s and the current owners have substantially improved and modernised the property.

MAIN HOUSE

On entering this characterful home you come into a large open plan lounge.  The room has a beamed ceiling, large brick fireplace with log burner and stairs rising to the first floor.  There are two double bedrooms on the ground floor, both with en-suite shower rooms at either end of the house.  A study and walk-in storage room are also situated on this floor.

At the top of the stairs there is a large light and airy open plan kitchen, dining room and snug area with a window seat in front of large picture windows that give a beautiful view over the garden.  There is a recently installed, bespoke hand-built shaker style kitchen with solid oak worktops and island with blue pearl granite worktop. There is an integrated fridge/freezer and dishwasher plus space for a large dual fuelled range cooker.  Heading from the kitchen there is a recently refurbished cloakroom with toilet and basin, built-in cupboards and a small loft area above.  There are further built-in larder cupboards in the corridor.  The utility room has a new oil fired boiler (fitted in 2024), double stainless steel sink and space for washing machine and dryer plus space for a further fridge/freezer.  This area leads down into the boot room with an array of fitted storage, traditional Belfast sink and contemporary flooring. 

At the other end of the house, leading from the snug is a large master bedroom with large walk-in wardrobes and an ensuite with feature twin sinks, large shower cubicle and an impressive freestanding bath.
