For anyone in search of an equestrian property with the very latest eco-features, Little Acres is just the ticket. “It is set in beautiful rolling Devon countrysid­e, just south of Exmoor and west of the Exe Valley, the four-bedroom bungalow comes with a large modern barn for stabling and nearly three acres of land,” said Claire Cressy of Stags who is selling the property.

The village of Rackenford, about two miles away, has a friendly community providing a good range of amenities.

Little Acres is a delightful south-facing detached bungalow. It has been updated throughout and offers generous proportion­ed accommodat­ion. The property boasts landscaped gardens, superb outbuildin­g and stabling, new horse corral, and in total extends to about 2.95 acres.

The property benefits from being energy efficient including 4.2kW solar panels which not only link to the immersion heater but have battery backup for increased capacity. There is a Nest Intelligen­t system and low energy LED bulbs, making it very cost effective to run.

The accommodat­ion includes a wide reception hall giving access to all rooms; sitting room, kitchen and dining room, utility, cloakroom, four bedrooms and family bathroom.

The sitting room has French doors opening on to the patio area taking full advantage of the rural views. A multi-fuel stove sits centrally within the room on a slate hearth and surround.

The kitchen and dining room is fitted with a range of ivory shaker-style wall and base units with a butchers block-effect work surface, and a large island and breakfast bar to seat four. Integrated dishwasher. Space for Range-style cooker and a large fridge and freezer. There are four good sized bedrooms, the master having a dressing room and en-suite, and a family bathroom with a whirlpool bath.

The barn and stables has concrete flooring, power, light, water and storage provide four 12 x12 stables occupying half the area in the barn. There are double doors for vehicular access and a single door leading to large stoned corral with 12 x 24 gated field shelter, double opening onto hard standing.

To the side of the barn/stables is a vegetable garden with four raised beds, a greenhouse and chicken run with outside shelter.

The front garden is laid mainly to lawn and enclosed by evergreen hedging, with a water source in the form a well and a patio with veranda over. The rear garden is mainly laid to lawn, has a large patio area with flower beds, an attractive water feature and a dog kennel.

There is also a garage with an up-and-over door, power and light, and work bench, plus ample off-road parking for several cars.
