Middle Leigh Barn has an enviable setting, which is undisturbed, private and very rural setting. The house sits within an open, south facing space protected on three sides by mature, conifer woodland, beyond which is a wide extent of gorgeous mid-Devon countryside. Originally dating back to the 15th century, the barn is semi-detached to another, similar barn and has been redeveloped in a striking, contemporary style. For the main barn a combination of pale painted and rendered walls and full-height windows has been used, whilst for contrast the former hayloft above the attached Linhay Barn is clad with timber. The ground floor of the main barn contains two good sized reception rooms, the dining hall and sitting room, featuring exposed oak timbers, along with a cosy study. The attached Linhay Barn
incorporates a large kitchen/breakfast room, cloakroom and utility room.

Middle Leigh Barn is situated amidst a swathe of unspoilt, partly wooded countryside and has only one neighbour nearby. About a ten minute drive away is the large, thriving village of Morchard Bishop, which has a population of about a thousand residents and has excellent amenities. These include a combined village shop and takeaway, pub (The London Inn), primary school, two churches and GP surgery. The nearby town of Crediton is only 20 minutes away by car, providing a good choice of shops and local businesses including dental and veterinary surgeries and a Tesco Superstore. The property also has good transport links within easy reach. The A377, the area's main arterial road, is just five miles away. Crediton has a railway station operating a frequent 18 minute service to and from
Exeter throughout the day and Tiverton Parkway has direct services to Paddington taking on average about 2.25 hours. The area also has a wide choice of schools for children of all ages. From the independent s
