Coleford, Crediton

Comes with 1.75 ACRES & large Dutch barn! This lovely detached barn is in a sought after village location is available with no chain and offers a great chance for a slice of rural Devon - It once had planning for a large ground floor extension too (now lapsed).

Water Meadow was designed and converted with sustainability and self-sufficiency in mind. The property boasts the use of traditional and local materials and techniques which have come together to produce a stylish yet traditional detached property with many “Green” credentials.

Wherever possible, lime plaster, lime mortar and breathable paints were used between the attractive exposed green oak framework used to restore the barn. Sheep’s wool has been used to insulate the property and beautiful reclaimed Delabole Slate is laid throughout the ground floor as well as being used to restore the slate roof. The heating and hot water is provided by a solid fuel Esse range in the kitchen and a wood burner in the living room can also be used for those cold winter days and nights. The wood used to give the year-round heating is all harvested from the land again adding to the eco-friendly lifestyle available.

The previous owners had grown fruit and vegetables, reared cows, sheep, pigs and chickens, making it ideal for those looking to live from the land. The large Dutch Barn and outbuildings give ample storage and rearing space..
