Four Mills Lane, Crediton, EX17

A modern barn conversion in Crediton itself is a pretty unusual find, and that's a big part of what makes Linhay Barn so appealing. Tucked away off Four Mills Lane, it gives you the character and individuality normally associated with a rural barn conversion, yet the town centre and railway station are both within walking distance and Exeter is easily reached by road or rail. The original conversion was completed to a notably high standard and the current owners have continued that approach, investing in the house and adding some really lovely bespoke touches of their own. The result is a home that feels established, individual and genuinely high quality. It could work just as well for a professional couple as it would for someone downsizing or retiring, particularly for buyers who want something with personality without taking on acres of garden or endless maintenance.

Inside, exposed timbers, vaulted ceilings, oak doors and windows and carefully chosen natural materials retain the character of the original building, but this is very much a comfortable modern home. The kitchen/dining room is wonderfully light and sociable, with its central island and doors opening directly onto the garden, while a separate utility keeps the practical side of life out of sight. The sitting room has a multi-fuel stove and is beautifully styled with integral shutter style blinds and we love the entrance hall with it’s oak and glass, LED lit staircase. Upstairs, all three bedrooms are doubles beneath vaulted ceilings and exposed beams. The principal bedroom has been particularly well designed, with bespoke fitted storage with TV and a hidden vanity area together with its own luxury en-suite, while the other two bedrooms are served by the family bathroom. Underfloor heating downstairs, quality joinery and plenty of natural light all reinforce the feeling that this wasn't simply a barn converted to create accommodation, but a home where the finish and detail really mattered.

Outside, the garden is deliberately manageable rather than extensive, and for the likely buyer here that's arguably another advantage. It's level, private and provides enough room to sit out, entertain friends and enjoy the warmer months without spending every weekend maintaining it. There's also off-road parking for two vehicles. Linhay Barn therefore offers a combination that's surprisingly difficult to replicate: the architecture, exposed timbers and individuality of a barn conversion, the finish and convenience of a modern home, and a location that allows you to leave the car behind for much of everyday life. For anyone wanting character and style without the upkeep that so often accompanies them, this is a very compelling alternative to a conventional town house or bungalow.

Please note that the driveway is partly shared, with Linhay Barn and the neighbouring property owning their respective parking areas. The gates belong to Linhay Barn and are available to purchase by separate negotiation.
