A HOME THAT INVITES YOU TO BREATHE
There are houses you walk into, and there are houses you exhale into. 1 The Old Dairy is firmly the latter—an uplifting, light filled barn conversion that feels effortlessly calm from the moment you arrive. Set within a small, exclusive collection of quality homes on a quiet East Devon lane, it offers the rare blend of rural tranquillity and refined contemporary design.
This is a place to slow down, to reconnect, to enjoy the rhythm of countryside living without sacrificing comfort or style.
ARCHITECTURE THAT FEELS GOOD TO LIVE IN
Converted by a respected design and build firm known for crafting exceptional country homes, The Old Dairy is all about clean lines, natural light, and effortless comfort.
Striking modern barn architecture softened by rural views.
Expansive glazing that frames the landscape like artwork.
High pitched ceilings that lift the spirit.
Underfloor heating powered by an air source heat pump.
MVHR system for fresh, balanced air year round. Every detail has been considered to create a home that is both beautiful and brilliantly efficient.
THE HEART OF THE HOME
The ground floor flows with a sense of openness and ease—perfect for relaxed family living or hosting friends long into the evening.
The kitchen is a showpiece of contemporary design:
Quartz worksurfaces
Premium NEFF appliances

Quooker tap

Seamless integration and clean, modern lines
The triple aspect living space is bathed in natural light, with sliding doors opening onto the terrace—ideal for summer gatherings, morning coffee, or simply watching the seasons shift across the countryside.
A HAVEN TO RETREAT TO
Upstairs, the current owner has enhanced the property using the same architect and builder and created an extra luxurious master suite—a peaceful sanctuary with dressing room and elegant ensuite. Three further double bedrooms offer comfort and flexibility, with stylish bathrooms finished in porcelain and ceramic tiles, quality vanity units, and Mira showers.
It’s a home that adapts beautifully to family life, visiting guests, or the desire for dedicated work or hobby spaces.

Payhembury is the kind of village people dream of finding—warm, welcoming, and wonderfully alive with community spirit. Morning coffee from the village shop, school runs to the highly regarded primary, a stroll to the Six Bells for supper, and a calendar dotted with local events and clubs. Just a short drive away, Ottery St Mary expands your world with independent shops, cafés, and the prestigious King’s School. And when you need to go further, the A30 and M5 open up the region with ease.

GROUNDS THAT FEEL LIKE YOUR OWN PRIVATE WORLD
Set within approximately 0.37 acres, the grounds are designed for both enjoyment and ease. Landscaped lawns, sun soaked terraces, and a small paddock create a sense of openness and privacy, with countryside views that stretch out gently beyond the boundary.
A private gated entrance, ample parking, and a recently built double garage complete the picture—practicality wrapped in quiet luxury.
