4 bed detached house for sale in Coldridge, Crediton, EX17

If you're looking for a substantial home with proper space around you, Fursdon Barn has a lot to offer. Tucked away in the Mid Devon countryside close to Coldridge, the property is approached along its own lane and sits within just under eight acres of gardens and land, with a large field immediately behind the house and some fabulous views across the surrounding countryside. At approximately 2,300 sqft, there's plenty of house to go with the land too, making this an appealing proposition for families, equestrian buyers, those with smallholding ambitions or simply anyone wanting more space and privacy around them. It's a wonderfully rural setting without being buried at the end of miles of narrow lanes, with the B3220 within easy reach and Crediton, Lapford and the surrounding villages all accessible. Recently redecorated throughout and with some new carpets fitted, the house feels fresh and ready for its next owners.

Inside, the barn has the sort of generous, traditional layout that works particularly well for country life. The kitchen sits at the heart of things alongside a good-sized utility room, while two large reception rooms give everyone plenty of space to spread out. For most buyers, we'd imagine keeping both as living spaces, but the layout is flexible enough for one to become a fifth bedroom if needed, perhaps for guests, multi-generational living or anyone wanting ground-floor accommodation. There are four further bedrooms, two with their own en-suite shower rooms, together with the family bathroom. It's an uncomplicated and adaptable layout with plenty of space as family needs change, and the recent redecoration means there's no immediate list of jobs to tackle. Instead, there's scope for a new owner to settle in and gradually put their own stamp on the house and grounds.

Outside is where Fursdon Barn really comes into its own. The gardens immediately around the house provide private space to sit out and enjoy the setting, with a pond adding further interest, while there's ample parking for numerous vehicles. Beyond is the large adjoining field which forms the majority of the holding and takes the overall acreage to just under eight acres. For equestrian buyers in particular, the amount of land provides an excellent starting point, with scope to create a setup to suit individual requirements, subject to any necessary permissions. Equally, it could work for livestock, a smallholding or simply the luxury of having your own piece of Devon countryside. Add in the wide rural views, private approach, approximately 2,300 sqft of accommodation and no onward chain, and Fursdon Barn offers a combination of house, land and potential that's increasingly difficult to find.
