4 bedroom detached for sale

Nestled in the rolling, unspoilt countryside of Mid Devon, Ford Farm Barn offers the perfect blend of rural tranquillity and modern luxury. Situated near the charming villages of Coleford and Colebrooke, the property enjoys a peaceful, private setting while remaining within easy reach of Crediton and the Cathedral City of Exeter. Coleford itself is a quintessential Devon village, steeped in history and community spirit, offering the kind of welcoming atmosphere that makes country living so appealing. Beyond the village, the surrounding landscape is a haven for walkers, riders, and nature lovers, with Dartmoor National Park just a short drive away and an abundance of footpaths and bridleways to explore.

Ford Farm Barn is a striking, newly built barn-style residence, built to exacting standards and designed to combine contemporary luxury with traditional architectural character. Spread over nearly 3,305 sq ft, the home offers flexible accommodation that will suit modern family life or multi-generational living with annexe potential in the Linhay section to one end. Light-filled and generously proportioned, it has been thoughtfully arranged to create a sense of space and flow, perfect for both everyday living and entertaining. Many modern homes with open plan living spaces lack additional spaces to escape and relax but here, thats covered with very flexible, additional reception rooms.

On the ground floor, the double height entrance hall instantly draws a breath, flooded with light, its a welcome that wills you to explore more. At the heart of the home is the superb kitchen/dining room, fitted with stylish cabinetry, quartz tops and integrated appliances, a space to use year-round for family meals and entertaining, we love the bi-folding doors that open onto the garden terrace. The living room, also with multiple bi-folding doors, has a feature wood burner, and a double aspect which creates a great space for relaxing or gathering with family and friends. As previously mentioned, theres an additional snug/TV room or study to the rear. As one may expect, theres a separate utility room, shower room with WC and a plant room on the ground floor. At one end, the Linhay gives a separate access in, plus another ground floor room with a second staircase to a large landing and bedroom. This end could easily become a self-contained annexe.

Upstairs, the feeling of light continues on the galleried landing and leads to the master suite which is a true retreat. With floor-to-ceiling windows framing the far-reaching countryside views (and over your own land), it has a large and well-appointed en-suite. The two additional bedrooms are served by a luxury family bathroom, and a large airing cupboard adds flexible storage.

Outside, the property sits within approximately 3.86 acres, approached via an electric gated entrance and a gravelled driveway leading to a timber-framed carport with an EV charging point. Gardens run to the front and rear of the house, with a full-length terrace perfect for entertaining or enjoying Devons sunsets. A stream borders the bottom of the garden, while a second access point provides further parking and access to the surrounding land, including space for trailers, caravans, horse boxes etc with a gate through to the field. The outside spaces, although only recently created, give a beautiful balance of level garden and more natural spaces.

Ford Farm Barn is more than a home; it is a lifestyle. Offering space, privacy, and an exceptional level of finish, it combines the best of rural living with modern convenience, making it an ideal choice for families, professionals, or anyone seeking a peaceful yet accessible Devon retreat.
