Morchard Bishop, Crediton, EX17

A high-quality four-bedroom barn conversion set within a small collection of  seven homes in the parish of Morchard Bishop, combining a peaceful rural setting with a well-finished interior, generous garden and far-reaching views across the Devon countryside towards Dartmoor. Completed in 2019, No. 5 Five Hill Barns has been thoughtfully designed to make the most of its surroundings, with large windows and outdoor spaces that connect the home with the landscape beyond. The property offers the appeal of countryside living while retaining the comfort and specification expected from a modern conversion.

The farmhouse-style kitchen and dining room is a central feature of the home, fitted with granite worktops, a double Belfast sink, Rangemaster cooker with five-ring induction hob, integrated fridge and freezer, dishwasher and wine cooler. Full-height windows overlooking the courtyard, bringing in natural light and creating a sociable space for everyday meals and entertaining. A matching utility room provides further practical space, with granite worktops, Belfast sink, soft-close units and integrated washing machine. There is additional storage beneath the stairs, including space for a tumble dryer.

The lounge has a comfortable feel, with engineered oak flooring, underfloor heating and a wood-burning stove providing a focal point. Doors open onto the patio and garden, making it easy to enjoy the outdoor setting throughout the year.

The accommodation includes four bedrooms. The principal bedroom benefits from a dressing room/walk-in wardrobe and en suite shower room, while two further double bedrooms and a generous single bedroom provide flexible options for family, guests or home working. There is also a family bathroom and downstairs WC.

Outside, the garden is a real highlight, extending out towards open fields with uninterrupted views across the surrounding countryside. A patio with half-pergola provides a sheltered seating area, while the remainder of the garden is laid to lawn.

A garden room, built in 2024, offers a useful additional space with power and lighting, suitable as a home office, hobby room or quiet retreat. There is also a garden shed with power and three external power points, making the outside space practical as well as attractive.

Parking is well provided for, with four spaces in total; two at the top of the drive and two alongside the house.

The property benefits from oil-fired central heating, with underfloor heating to the ground floor and radiators upstairs. The oil tank is discreetly screened behind a hedge.

The seven properties at Five Hill Barns share responsibility for the private treatment plant, which is managed by a resident-run company with an annual contribution of approximately £200 towards maintenance and electricity costs.

Overall, this is a beautifully finished barn conversion offering a balance of quality, comfort and countryside living. The combination of open views, generous outdoor space and a strong specification creates a home that is ready to enjoy from day one, within a small and friendly rural community.
