Two Oaks, Westwood Lane, Longdown, EX6 7RX

Two Oaks is an outstanding and beautifully presented period barn conversion, enjoying a peaceful rural position on the outskirts of Exeter and set within approximately 2.35 acres of immaculate paddocks, gardens and grounds.

Backing onto open farmland and surrounded by rolling countryside, the property offers a rare combination of space, privacy, flexibility and accessibility.

Originally forming part of Eastwood Farm, Two Oaks was thoughtfully converted in 1993-94 into a comfortable and characterful family home, with careful attention paid to preserving its heritage while delivering modern living standards.

Exposed timber beams, historic inscriptions, reclaimed materials and vaulted spaces sit effortlessly alongside contemporary upgrades and infrastructure.

The accommodation extends to over 3,000 sq ft and is arranged with exceptional versatility. A charming oak porch opens into a generous reception hall, forming the heart of the home.

The principal sitting room is rich in character, featuring original beams and a striking double-sided glass Scandinavian fireplace, creating warmth and flow between spaces.

The farmhouse-style kitchen and dining room is both sociable and practical, offering ample space for family living and entertaining, with doors opening directly onto a private sun-trap patio.

A utility room, boot room and large wet room provide excellent day-to-day functionality, while a ground-floor bedroom offers flexibility for guests, home working or multigenerational living.

The first floor is accessed via two staircases, reinforcing the adaptable layout.

The principal bedroom enjoys a generous en-suite with sunken bath and heated flooring, while further double bedrooms are served by a modern family bathroom.

A superb additional reception room above the garage, created by the current owners, enjoys full-height glazing and far-reaching countryside views and offers flexibility for a fifth bedroom, office or sitting room.

Externally, the grounds are a true highlight. The land has been meticulously maintained and includes two pristine paddocks, ideal for equestrian or smallholding use.

A high-quality stable block, large garage/workshop, log store, kennels, hen house and additional storage buildings all benefit from power and water.

The extensive tarmac driveway provides ample parking and practical access for larger vehicles. Despite its idyllic rural setting, the location is remarkably convenient.

Two Oaks sits within easy reach of the M5, A30 and A38, with Exeter city centre and Exeter St.

David's railway station approximately 3/3.5 miles away, offering direct services to London Paddington in around two hours.

The property enjoys the benefits of a small, well-regarded hamlet with a strong sense of community, while retaining excellent privacy.

Two Oaks represents a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial, beautifully maintained barn conversion with land, outbuildings and genuine future potential, all within minutes of Exeter.

Council Tax Band: E Tenure: Freehold Restrictions: Tree preservation order The property is connected to mains electricity and is heated via an LPG-fired central heating system.

The water is heated by mains electric through two pressurised sealed hot water cylinders and is supplied via a private borehole located within the property boundary and exclusively serving Two Oaks.

The borehole is subject to routine testing on a 15-month cycle to ensure all seasons are covered over a five-year period.

The most recent test was carried out on 29 October 2024 by Oakwater Laboratories, with the next scheduled for 29th January 2026.

The borehole and filtration system are housed within a dedicated structure and are professionally serviced annually, most recently on the 9th October 2025.

All water supplied to the outbuildings is filtered at source and is potable. A dry underfloor heating system is installed within the principal en suite and the upper en suite.

The property also benefits from a Scandinavian multi-fuel stove.

Foul drainage is managed by a private Biotec +6 sewerage treatment plant, located within the property boundary and installed in 2007 for the sole use of Two Oaks.

The system is emptied annually, most recently on the 24th October 2025 and the vendors advise that it is compliant with the General Binding Rules 2015. A telephone landline is connected.

EPC: The EPC rating of E (June 2023) predates the installation of the new LPG heating system in January 2025.

A subsequent EPC assessment dated February 2025, which returned an F rating, was undertaken in anticipation of future renewable energy installations.

The rating is therefore expected to improve upon implementation of such upgrades.
