The Old Stables, Exeter, EX2

The Old Stables has been sympathetically renovated to create a warm, balanced home where original features sit comfortably alongside modern living. Exposed beams, generous proportions, and soft natural finishes give the house an easy, welcoming feel throughout.

The entrance hall is spacious and practical with fitted storage and space for hanging coats. From here, the layout flows naturally into the kitchen dining room and the first of two staircases serving the split level first floor. The kitchen/dining room is the heart of the home. Designed as a social space rather than simply a place to cook, it offers generous worktop space, central island, ample storage, a Belfast sink, an Aga and room for a large dining table or relaxed seating. Dual aspect windows flood the room with natural light, making it equally suited to everyday family life and entertaining. The sitting room is warm and characterful, with exposed beams, a wood burning stove and a large window overlooking the garden. It is a calm, comfortable space with a genuine sense of retreat. A further rear hallway provides garden access and leads to the second staircase.

The first floor is arranged across two mirrored wings, each accessed by its own staircase. Both sides offer two generous double bedrooms with exposed beams, alongside stylish shower rooms finished with feature basins and contemporary fittings. The symmetry of the layout works particularly well for families, guests or flexible home working arrangements.

The garden wraps around the front and side of the property and is fully enclosed, creating a private and usable outdoor space. Predominantly laid to patio and gravel, it is designed for low maintenance while still offering areas for planting, entertaining and dining outside. There is a dedicated seating area ideal for summer evenings and a more playful, informal section with raised beds and feature details, giving the garden real personality and charm.

To the rear, a substantial barn provides excellent additional space. Part of this has been converted into a utility room and WC, while the remainder offers generous storage. This is also where the oil tank is situated.
