Wembworthy, Chulmleigh, Devon, EX18

Enjoying far reaching unspoilt views, a most impressive barn conversion providing immaculate and versatile accommodation with landscaped rear garden and parking. Offered with no onward chain.


The Bull Pen is a fine example of a barn conversion situated in an outstanding semi rural location with unspoilt countryside views over the Little Dart Valley. The property was originally converted in the early 2000s and has since undergone sympathetic modernisations by the current owners.
The property is approached from the parking area to the rear leading you to the kitchen diner. An impressive first impression with the bi-fold doors bringing the outside in. The ground floor enjoys underfloor heating under slate tiles throughout. The room has a vaulted ceiling and an impressive hand made kitchen with base units and Quartz marble worktop with inset sink. There is a space for both a dishwasher and washing machine with the central heating and cooking provided by the oil fired Rayburn. The room has an island with a spelted beach worktop and many characterful features such as exposed beams and exposed stone wall. Steps up to the charming living room with a stone built fireplace with timber mantle and Norapeis Bergen woodburner. Stairs lead to the first floor. Leading off the living room is an inner hallway leading to the cloak room and bedroom four. The cloak room has a worktop with sink and drainer and useful base units and drawers for storage. Completing the ground floor is the fourth bedroom which is currently being used as a home office.
To the first floor there is a galleried landing with a glass balustrade and houses the airing cupboard. There is loft access which has a pull down ladder, fully boarded with power and light. Bedroom one is a good sized double with a large built in wardrobe and an ensuite bathroom.

The property occupies an outstanding position on the edge of the pretty village of Wembworthy, a short distance to the west of the Taw Valley between Exmoor and Dartmoor. The surrounding gently undulating and unspoilt Devon countryside, affords a predominately agricultural landscape of mainly pasture and arable land interspersed with an abundance of wooded valleys. Wembworthy itself is a small rural village benefitting from a Church, with a local public house situated about 0.6 miles from the cottage.   
The village of Winkleigh lies just 2.8 miles from the property and boasts two public houses, a post office, butchers, a general store, veterinary practice and a doctors' surgery. This larger village also provides a community centre, a village hall and a sports centre, together with a church, a chapel, and a well regarded primary school.
The small town of Chulmleigh to the east provides a thriving and very active local community which has managed to retain a good range of local services including Chulmleigh Academy providing highly regarded primary and secondary schooling, a sports centre, post office, various shops, a health centre, dentist, public houses, restaurants and a historic town hall.
Despite its rural position the property still enjoys easy access to the surrounding districts and main routes of communication with the A377 providing an easy link to the larger towns of South Molton, Crediton and Barnstaple, each providing an extensive range of everyday shopping, banking, recreational and educational facilities.
From Tiverton the A361 provides quick and easy access to the M5 motorway (Junction 27). There are nearby rail stations on the Barnstaple to Exeter (Tarka) line at Eggesford and Kings Nympton. Main line rail services are available at Exeter and Tiverton Parkway, with international airports at Exeter and Bristol.
The property is surrounded by picturesque North Devon countryside which provides a wealth of outdoor activities including walking, horse riding, cycling, sea, coarse and game fishing, and golf courses at Libbaton, High Bullen, Portmore and Saunton. To the north and south respectively the Exmoor and Dartmoor National Parks offer beautiful moorland scenery with many foot and bridle paths, whilst the stunning North Devon coast is also easily accessible, with popular sandy beaches at Instow, Saunton Sands, Croyde Bay, Putsborough and Woolacombe.

At the front of the property it is partially gravelled with a patio seating area and benefits from a sunny aspect.
The walled rear garden has delightful views across the valley with upper seating area laid in slate which leads from the kitchen diner. The attractive lower level offers a sheltered sun trap, surrounded by well stocked raised flower beds providing easy maintenance to this garden haven. Access to the property from the parking area is via the walk-through pergola which is covered with an established wisteria, honeysuckle and clematis under which is a wood shed and store. There is a further shared parking available when needed.
