Location

East Leigh is situated near Zeal Monachorum which is situated approximately 8 miles northwest of Crediton, hidden within vast and tumultuous farmland. Its name is of Latin origin ‘Cella Monachorum’ – meaning ‘Cell of the Monks’. Like many Devon villages Zeal is home to a number of period properties, and buildings that have a strict conservation status – preserving the traditional beauty expected from rural settlements. Its church is old (understatement) (1235, late Saxon) and in its yard is a yew tree rumoured to have experienced a 1000 birthdays or more (not that anyone celebrates).

Description

The main door opens into the boot room, which connects to the barn and features a pump and stone trough, with a door to the cloakroom. A further door leads to the fitted kitchen, offering a range of wall and base units and a lovely outlook over the rear gardens.
From the kitchen, the dining room features a stone inglenook fireplace with woodburning stove and a door to the utility room. The hallway has front and rear access, stairs to the first floor, and a door to the sitting room with feature fireplace.
The first floor provides four bedrooms, including a master with en-suite, and a family bathroom.
Outside, a large yard to the front gives access to the two-storey barn, workshop and adjoining store, with part of the barn used as additional accommodation including a shower room. The gardens lie to the side and rear, with store sheds, patio and seating areas, stocked flower beds, a formal lawn, and a gate to the adjoining land - in all approx 5.86 acres.
