Kennerleigh, Crediton, EX17

Set just outside the pretty Mid Devon village of Kennerleigh, Creedy Warren is one of a small collection of barn conversions surrounded by rolling countryside and far from main roads. It’s a peaceful and private setting, yet still accessible, offering a genuine sense of retreat while remaining within reach of Crediton and Exeter.

Converted by the current owners around 2014–15 for their own occupation, the approach was very much about quality and longevity. The result is a thoughtfully designed home that works with its environment rather than against it. Eco credentials are a key part of the story, with solar PV tiles, solar thermal panels, air source heat pumps and underfloor heating all combining to create an efficient and comfortable living environment. Rainwater harvesting and a treatment plant further enhance the sustainability of the property, while modern additions such as an EV charger are already in place. Overall, with the barn (3) and the cottage (2), there are 5 bedrooms to choose from.

The main barn offers well balanced accommodation with a large open plan living space on the ground floor, divided into natural zones for cooking, dining and relaxing. A double sided woodburner provides a central focal point, helping to define the space while maintaining a sociable layout. The kitchen is well equipped with high quality appliances and polished granite worktops, while a separate utility and plant room add to the practicality. Also on the ground floor is a generous bedroom with en-suite, and a welcoming entrance porch. Upstairs, there are two further bedrooms, both with en-suites, along with a spacious landing that works well as a study area.

The cottage sits separately from the main barn, with its own parking and garden space, allowing it to remain private when in use. It offers two bedrooms, a living and dining space, kitchen and bathroom, and is ideal for use as ancillary accommodation for family members, or for holiday letting, subject to the existing planning restrictions but note it cannot be occupied as a permanent, separate home.

Outside, the property sits within approximately three quarters of an acre of gardens and grounds. A sweeping driveway provides ample parking and leads to the garage, while a large patio and ornamental pond sit to the front of the barn. The gardens themselves are both attractive and productive, with established beds, lawns and pathways connecting different areas. A polytunnel, greenhouse and fruit and vegetable beds offer the opportunity for self-sufficiency, while a log cabin set further into the garden provides a useful additional space for hobbies or home working.

Overall, Creedy Warren offers a rare combination of flexibility, sustainability and setting, with accommodation that can adapt to a variety of lifestyles, whether for multigenerational living, income generation or simply enjoying a well designed home in the countryside.
