3 bed detached house for sale

Lapford, Crediton EX17

A modern eco-retreat in a magical woodland setting. Tucked away on a sunny south-facing slope, Old Stables is a beautifully refurbished 1940s home that perfectly balances rural poetry with modern efficiency. Set within approximately 0.4 acres of enchanting gardens and bordered by a stream, this property offers a rare "escape to the country" lifestyle without sacrificing connectivity.

Originally built in the 1940s, the property has undergone a comprehensive programme of refurbishment. The interiors are serene, neutral, and filled with natural light. A stunning dual-aspect living room featuring a vaulted ceiling and a feature wood-burning stove-airy by day and incredibly cozy by night. The kitchen-diner is the social hub of the home, finished with solid wood worktops, integrated roof lights, and views out to the garden. Three flexible bedrooms offer versatility for families or those requiring a hobby room. The stylish bathroom is fitted with a contemporary suite including both a bath and a separate shower cubicle.

The outdoor space is a true highlight, designed for both relaxation and productivity and includes a professional Home Office in an insulated summer house, providing a quiet, creative retreat away from the main house. The garden features lawns, a woodland area, mature rhododendrons, stream and a south- facing courtyard perfectly placed for the afternoon sun. The gated entrance leads to a large driveway with ample room for several cars and a dedicated space for a motorhome or caravan.

This home is designed for low-cost living. With an energy-efficient air-source heat pump and high-grade insulation already in place, the property is "future-proofed." Its elevated, south-facing position also makes it a prime candidate for a solar pv installation.

Despite its peaceful, leafy atmosphere, Old Stables is remarkably well-connected. Located just moments from the A377 and within five minutes of Lapford Station, you can be in Exeter, Crediton, or Barnstaple with ease. Local village amenities are nearby, offering the perfect blend of seclusion and convenience.

Viewing highly recommended to appreciate the unique setting and high-spec finish. No onward chain.
