Stable Barn nestles behind the prestigious Georgian mansion, Collipriest House, overlooking the Exe River and valley. The barn is at the top of a sweeping driveway and is part of the original farm buildings, dating back hundreds of years. The huge beams in the main living area are original.

The annexe was once a bull pen. This beautiful conversion, luxuriously updated, provides either a lifestyle change, or home and income, in a secluded picturesque valley teeming with wildlife

It is very close to Exmoor, the North Devon or South Devon beaches, and a two minute walk to the stunning River Exe down the private driveway.

The main house has a two bedroom annexe with a second kitchen, so it's perfect for growing families, live-in relatives, additional income, or working from home. Its stone walls are more than 2 feet thick yet it is very light and welcoming.

The Grade 11 listed house is walking distance to shops, along the protected Exe Valley river way. It is a 20 minute drive to the mainline railway station with fast London links. Bristol airport is one hour. Exeter and it's airport 30 minutes.

The main living and entertaining space includes a sitting and dining area, open-plan kitchen, multifuel stove, oak flooring, a vaulted ceiling, skylights and french doors that open onto a balcony, with lovely views of the privately owned Valley. The first floor includes a kitchen fitted with contemporary units, granite worktops, range cooker and modern integrated appliances. There is a second sitting room with an adjoining kitchen, two double bedrooms, a family bathroom and a cloakroom.

The ground floor has a principal bedroom (with dressing room and built-in storage), second bedroom (with en-suite shower room), a family bathroom (with bathtub and separate shower), and a study/bedroom.
