Membury, Devon

A charming Grade II Listed period home with a detached single-storey annexe, beautifully positioned in the heart of the sought-after village of Membury looking onto the historic church. The village lies within the stunning Blackdown Hills National Landscape (AONB) in East Devon, an area renowned for its unspoilt countryside and picturesque surroundings.
In recent years, Kinders has undergone an extensive programme of thoughtful improvements by the current owners. These works include complete rewiring, installation of a new boiler and radiators, and significant upgrades such as a newly fitted kitchen, and redecoration throughout. A wood-burning stove set within a striking inglenook fireplace further enhances the character and warmth of the home.
The property is beautifully presented throughout, retaining a wealth of original features including exposed beams, window seats and traditional flagstone floors, which combine to create a home full of charm and character.
The detached stone annexe provides flexible accommodation, comprising a bedroom, shower room, lounge, kitchen and a small conservatory, and benefits from new bottled-gas central heating making it ideal for guests, multi-generational living or potential rental use.
Outside, the property is complemented by a number of useful outbuildings, including a stone barn (part two-storey with a vaulted ceiling to the remaining section) and a former stable block with tin roof, now arranged as storage areas, workshop and stores.
The generous garden extends to just over a quarter of an acre, offering ample outdoor space, while a gated driveway from the village road provides parking for several vehicles.
The main house accommodation comprises four bedrooms, a family bathroom and a long landing on the first floor. On the ground floor there is a spacious newly fitted kitchen/dining room, boot room, ground floor shower room, and a small entrance hall with pretty tiled floor, leading into the impressive living room, featuring the inglenook fireplace and flagstone floors. An internal hall with reading area provides access to a good-sized study and the staircase to the first floor.
Overall, this is a wonderfully characterful village home offering versatile accommodation, attractive gardens, and excellent outbuildings, set within one of East Devon's most desirable rural locations.
