3 bed terraced house for sale

Burrow Court, Tiverton, Devon EX16

Set within a peaceful courtyard on the edge of Butterleigh, this 3 bedroom barn conversion offers village living with a genuine sense of community, beautiful countryside on the doorstep, and excellent access to Exeter, Tiverton, and the wider Exe Valley.

7 Burrow Court sits within a compact courtyard formed by traditional barn conversions completed in the 1990s. These structures retain exposed stone walls, original timber beams, vaulted ceilings in places, and repurposed barn doors, arranged around a shared central space with allocated parking and access to communal grounds. The conversions were carried out sympathetically, preserving the agricultural character of the original farm buildings while creating attractive and striking residential units that share the enclosed, private setting on the edge of Butterleigh. The setup includes a shared private drive leading into the complex, with maintenance of common areas (including guest parking) covered by an annual service charge of around £720, which also handles the communal septic tank system. The courtyard provides a contained, communal feel while keeping individual properties separate, with access to allocated parking and a double-height garage.

This particular barn, forms part of the terraced row and measures around 1,200 square feet over two floors. Entry is through a hallway with a cloakroom (WC and basin). The ground floor centres on an open-plan kitchen and dining area: The kitchen has dual-aspect windows and new French doors opening to the rear garden, fitted units with worktops, a sink, an oil-fired Rayburn for cooking and heating, a separate electric cooker, and plumbing for fridge/freezer, washing machine, and dishwasher. Adjacent is the dining room, looking out over the garden. The sitting room features a rear outlook, a corner fireplace with wood-burning stove, and under-stairs storage.

Upstairs, the landing has an attractive feature stone wall. The three bedrooms are all rear-facing: Two good-sized doubles (one with en-suite bath/shower, WC, and basin) and one single. There's a separate family bathroom with bath/shower, WC, and basin. Outside lies an enclosed garden, a garage, and parking.

The property lies a short distance from Butterleigh, a small village in Mid Devon with about 110 residents, positioned three miles southeast of Tiverton. Butterleigh centers around its 13th-century church of St Matthew, which features an old baptismal font and an alms box from before the 1600s, alongside a village hall used for community events and a pub called the Butterleigh Inn that serves local beers, wines, and home-cooked meals. The village blacksmith has gained recognition for quality work, and the area is known for its annual harvest home celebrations that draw people from nearby. Surrounding fields and gentle hills offer paths for walking, with the River Exe nearby providing spots for fishing, including tench, perch, rudd, and carp.

Beyond the village, the property benefits from close proximity to Tiverton, just over two miles away, a town that serves as a hub for Mid Devon with direct rail links via Tiverton Parkway station seven miles north, connecting to larger cities. The M5 motorway is accessible five miles away at junction 28, linking to Exeter southward or Taunton northward. Plans to reinstate the train station at Cullompton have recently been given the go ahead. Tiverton itself includes a range of shops, schools, and recreational options, including the Grand Western Canal where horse-drawn barges still operate for trips along the waterway. Historical sites dot the area, such as Tiverton Castle built in 1106, Bickleigh Castle with its moated gardens, and Knightshayes Court, a Gothic Revival house from 1869 featuring detailed interiors and grounds. The Tiverton Museum covers local history with exhibits on mid-Devon life, including an old locomotive. The wider region supports a rural lifestyle with countryside routes for hiking, access to local farms for produce, and events like food festivals, balloon gatherings, and music outings that reflect community traditions. Cullompton, five miles away, adds further options for daily needs in an undulating landscape typical of this part of Devon.

The property comes with no onward chain and is listed at a guide price of £365,000.
