Leigh Hill Farm Barn

Set on the peaceful outskirts of Ashill, this exceptional 3,500 sq ft barn conversion / contemporary new build offers a rare blend of character, scale, and modern rural living. Finished just three years ago, the property has been thoughtfully designed to maximise space, light, and versatility, making it ideal for families, multi-generational living, or those seeking a lifestyle property with outbuildings and land. Focussed on efficiency and sustainability, it’s a fully electric home, with an abundance of solar panels and battery storage.

Approached via a private shared driveway, the property is tucked into the corner between its two neighbours and accessed through a gated entry leading onto a spacious private drive, offering parking for several vehicles and a strong sense of privacy.

The heart of the home is an impressive open-plan kitchen, dining, and living area — an expansive, light-filled space perfect for both everyday living and entertaining. Clean architectural lines combine with subtle barn-inspired features to create a warm yet contemporary feel.

The accommodation is both generous and flexible, comprising six well-proportioned bedrooms, including a convenient ground-floor bedroom. Four bathrooms are thoughtfully positioned throughout the home to serve both family and visitors with ease.

Further enhancing the versatility of the ground floor is a playroom or separate sitting room, ideal for families seeking additional living space. A convenient downstairs WC adds practicality, as it includes a shower, whilst the large utility room is perfectly designed for everyday household tasks, offering ample space for laundry, additional appliances, and excellent storage to keep the main living areas clutter-free. There is also a further tucked-away den, offering the perfect retreat for children and teenagers.

Upstairs, the layout is cleverly arranged across two separate zones, each accessed via its own staircase, offering privacy and adaptability. This configuration is perfect for growing families or home-working arrangements. A striking mezzanine office overlooks part of the main living space, providing a bright and inspiring workspace.

Externally, the property truly excels. Set within approximately 5.5 acres, the grounds offer a mix of open space, garden and practical land use. In addition to the extensive grounds, there is a beautifully designed outdoor entertaining area featuring a kitchen, bar, outdoor WC and Mediterranean-style socialising space, ideal for al fresco dining and hosting guests in a relaxed, stylish setting.

Two substantial barns with large roller doors provide outstanding storage, workshop potential, or scope for further use (subject to any necessary permissions), making the property particularly attractive for those with business, equestrian, or hobby interests.

This is a rare opportunity to acquire a recently completed, high-specification rural home with significant outbuildings and land, all within easy reach of the Devon countryside and local amenities.

 

The village of Ashill offers an unspoilt countryside setting with a strong sense of community and timeless charm, inclining the well renowned Ashill Inn. Surrounded by farmland and quiet lanes, it’s a beautiful location for those seeking a slower pace of life without feeling isolated. Within the excellent Uffculme School catchment area and just a short drive from the market town of Cullompton, Ashill benefits from easy access to local amenities, schools, and the M5 motorway, making it ideal for commuters heading to Exeter, Taunton, or beyond. The area is also known for its excellent walking, cycling routes, and access to both Exmoor and Dartmoor National Parks, as well as the Jurassic Coast within reach.
