4 Bedroom Detached Barn Conversion, Knowle, Crediton, EX17

Knowle is a small hamlet, hidden in the rolling Devon hills without being isolated, in fact, although you wouldn’t know it, the A377 is only half a mile away meaning easy road access for Copplestone and Crediton. We love the fact that just seconds away are miles of countryside walks on the quiet country lanes or footpaths, including a beautiful walk across the fields to Coleford, where The New Inn waits to reward you! Being able to live in this idyllic setting but also able to easily access all that’s on offer, it’s the perfect balance of countryside living without isolation. It’s definitely a property that welcomes you as soon as you arrive home.

Knowle Barn was converted in the late 1980’s but has since undergone further improvements and upgrades to what you see today. A detached stone and cob barn, it’s been well designed to offer spacious, light and comfortable living over the two floors. We particularly love the bespoke windows which frame the beautiful rural views, the double height hallway with its unique staircase and of course, the incredible Wisteria that covers the courtyard pergola in the Spring. It’s the perfect balance of inside and outside space and will suit couples and families alike.

The layout is generous with large living spaces and flexible options to how it’s all used. There are two stunning living rooms, a kitchen/dining room, utility and a bedroom plus bathroom on the ground floor. The inner staircase hall certainly has the wow factor and rises to the first floor with 3 further bedrooms and a family bathroom. The master bedroom has its own ensuite too, making it a true retreat!  

Outside, bordering onto fields and with those endless views on offer, the gardens will be a real attraction to many. The entire plot is just over half an acre and with expanses of lawn, planted beds and even a sunken garden, it’s established yet easy to maintain. There’s ample parking for a number of cars, plus a double garage with a separate home office (insulated with power). This outbuilding is great as it is but also has planning (Mid Devon reference 24_01819_LBC) to convert into an annexe to the main house, giving plenty of options to a new buyer along with a new car port and store. To the rear of the house, giving excellent privacy is a courtyard garden, perfect for entertaining and the Wisteria is quite incredible too!

In all, a great package which balances character, practicality and style, all with ample space both inside and out, plus even more potential with the planning to create additional accommodation if required without using much of the fantastic gardens.
