The property provides 4,685 sq ft of living space and was designed with two clear objectives: to make the view as visible from as many parts of the property as possible and to make it extremely energy efficient. To that end the property faces south and west towards the view capturing the best of the daylight throughout the day through wide, tall windows that extend from floor to ceiling on the ground and first floors.
The exterior of the house is clad with both composite stone and wood cladding to minimise maintenance and protect against the worst of the British weather and the property is insulated to an extremely high standard.
The ground floor is dominated by a magnificent room that combines the kitchen living and dining area into a single family-centric space. The kitchen itself is fully fitted with contemporary units including a large central island and a range of built-in electric appliances.
The basement floor directly below the ground floor incorporates a centrally positioned games room, gym with adjacent shower room and a fantastic cinema fitted with two rows of tiered seating under a planetarium arched ceiling.
The first floor contains a total of four double bedrooms. The principal bedroom has the best views of all with floor to ceiling windows on two sides and an en suite bathroom. The guest bedroom has a good-sized en suite shower room and the two remaining bedrooms share the large family bath and shower room.
There is an upper floor in the roof space incorporating a Walk-through home office leading to a further double bedroom with en suite shower room.
Barn View is approached off a little-used country lane and accessed via a driveway shared with the neighbouring property. A length of private drive with an electric gated entrance then sweeps round into a courtyard encompassing a tarmac parking area with ample space for several vehicles, adjacent lawn and the property's attached double garage and garden store.
The property's garden itself extends out on two sides barn to the west and south, along with an additional area alongside the driveway. As a recently built property the eventual design of the garden plus any landscaping required has been left to the new owners. In the interim the garden is now a blank canvas consisting of a newly established lawn with a wide, deep paved terrace, with direct access to the kitchen/living room and an adjacent barbecue area on one side. In all the garden and grounds amount to about 1.61 acres (0.65 hectare).
Barn View backs onto woodland and overlooks the lush Teign Valley spread out below. The valley falls within the East Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty with the Dartmoor National Park close by and the Haldon Forest Park almost on its doorstep.
The property is just two miles from the popular Nobody Inn (Tripadvisor 4.5/5) and there are excellent local amenities in the nearby village of Christow, which has a village shop, doctor's surgery and primary school.
Exeter is within easy reach and has an excellent array of shopping, business and cultural amenities befitting a university and cathedral city.
The property has access to nearby transport links with direct rail services from Exeter St Davids to both Paddington and Waterloo and Exeter Airport (15.5 miles) has a 1 hour service to London City Airport. There is a wide choice of popular schools locally from both the state and independent sectors.
These include a wide choice of village primary schools, all OFSTED rated Good or Outstanding, and private schools including Exeter Cathedral School, Exeter School and The Maynard, all within a 6 mile radius.
