Full Property Details
Stable Barn is found about a mile south of the town centre, next to the prestigious ‘Collipriest House’. The property was once part of the original farm buildings, dating back hundreds of years, and has retained much of the character and charm, whilst undergoing a contemporary conversion. Collipriest House was built at a later stage, and has subsequently been converted into apartments, and is owner occupied by retirees.
The main house offers ‘reverse style living’ with the bedrooms on the ground floor and the semi open plan living accommodation on the first floor. The vaulted ceilings and numerous windows help to create a light and airy feel, whilst the wood burning stove creates a cosy atmosphere in the cooler months.
The property is found along a quiet lane just south of the town. Whilst the town is within a walking distance, this is most definitely a country home. The location also offers excellent commuting, with main trunk roads readily available, and Tiverton Parkway mainline railway station is readily accessible.

The living space offers a spacious kitchen dining room, the contemporary units fitted with a granite worktop, a range cooker and integrated appliances. French doors open onto a balcony, a very peaceful spot in which to enjoy eating outdoors. The sitting room is tucked away around the corner, so you can be secluded from view should you wish.
On the ground floor are three bedrooms. The master bedroom has a large dressing room attached with built in wardrobes. The second bedroom has an en-suite shower room, the third bedroom is currently used as a study but would accommodate a double bed. There is also a family bathroom on this floor.
The two-bedroom annex can be accessed from the kitchen dining room, but it also enjoys its own independent access. The accommodation here, is surprisingly generous, with two bedrooms, a further mezzanine space, a sitting room, a comprehensive kitchen, and a bathroom. This is the perfect space for relatives, older teenagers, or possible additional letting income.
The drive that leads up to Collipriest House from the lane is rather impressive. Well-tended gardens flank the drive, and continuing past the main house, the drive sweeps around to the right where you will see a double carport for stable Barn. There is only one additional property beyond this.
The gardens are well established and offer various secluded seating areas, some with a lovely view out and over the River Exe valley.
This is a great opportunity to live a country lifestyle yet be within such easy reach of the conveniences of a busy market town. The location is also great for dog walking, with a footpath that leads down the valley to Bickleigh.
There is a good shopping centre in Tiverton which is a thriving market town and provides excellent educational facilities including Blundells Independent School for boys and girls with its associated Blundells Preparatory School. Also in the town is Petroc College of further education and Tiverton High School. There is also a popular Golf Course, sports complex, and a hospital.
