3 bed detached house for sale

Lapford, Crediton EX17

Tucked into a leafy woodland setting on a sunny south-facing slope, Old Stables is the kind of home that feels discovered rather than simply viewed. Set within approximately 0.4 acres and bordered by a gentle stream, it offers the peace and poetry of rural Devon while remaining remarkably well connected.

Originally built in the 1940s and lovingly refurbished, the house blends character and comfort with ease. Timber-framed and elevated above its gardens, it enjoys a wonderful sense of light and outlook, with rooms that feel both airy and welcoming. The dual-aspect sitting room, with its vaulted ceiling and wood burner, is the heart of the home - bright and uplifting by day, wonderfully cosy as evening falls.

The kitchen-diner is equally inviting, with solid wood worktops, roof lights and garden views creating a warm, sociable space for cooking and gathering. Three versatile bedrooms offer flexibility for family life, guests or working from home, while the stylish bathroom provides both bath and separate shower in a calm, contemporary finish.

Freshly redecorated throughout, the interiors are serene and neutral, ready for a new owner to make their mark.

Outside, the setting is truly magical. Terraced lawns sweep down towards the stream, mature rhododendrons frame hidden seating areas, and a west-facing courtyard captures the afternoon sun. An insulated summer house provides the perfect studio, garden office or creative retreat, while twinkling garden lights transform the grounds into an enchanting evening haven.

Despite its secluded feel, Old Stables sits just moments from the A377 and within five minutes of Lapford Station, offering easy access to Crediton, Exeter and Barnstaple. Village amenities are close at hand, making daily life both convenient and beautifully balanced.

With energy-efficient heating via an air-source heat pump, excellent insulation, ample gated parking (including space for a motorhome) and no onward chain, this is a rare opportunity to own a truly special woodland home - one that feels like an escape, yet works effortlessly for modern living.
