Beautifully Designed Homes: Templeton, Devon EX16
Sky End sits quietly within its own land of around six acres, just outside the village of Templeton in Devon. Read on to find out more about this beautiful home.
Approached through electric gates and along a private paved drive, the house reveals itself gradually, carefully positioned within the landscape rather than imposed upon it. From the outset, there is a sense of calm. Open countryside stretches away, light moves across the land, and the pace of life subtly changes. Sky End feels private without being remote, confident and settled in its setting.
The house was designed and built by the current owners as their own home, shaped by years of experience delivering bespoke properties across the UK. Extending to around 5,000 sq ft, Sky End offers seven bedrooms and six bathrooms, including an internal annexe. The layout flows with ease, balancing open family spaces with more defined areas for privacy and flexibility.
The quality of space and light is immediately apparent on arrival. A striking double-height reception hall sets the tone, with oak and glass balustrades and a gallery-style linking bridge above. The main living areas are designed around real family life.
The principal sitting room is generous and welcoming, with large windows framing views across the countryside. At the heart of the home is the open-plan kitchen, dining and family room, a bright, sociable space designed for everyday living and entertaining, with direct access onto west-facing terraces. A separate study provides a quieter retreat, while practical rooms including a boot and drying room reflect the realities of rural living.
Upstairs, the bedrooms are well proportioned and positioned to maximise light and views. The principal suite is spacious and understated, with a well-finished en suite. The internal two-bedroom annexe forms a distinct wing within the house, offering excellent flexibility for guests, older children or multi-generational living while remaining fully connected.
The gardens are beautifully integrated with the house and setting. Broad lawns, architectural planting and areas of wildflower create interest without high maintenance. Granite terraces follow the path of the sun, with the main kitchen terrace forming the heart of outdoor living. Beyond, a sunken fire pit and rustic party barn sit within a pocket of woodland, creating a wonderfully secluded space for entertaining.
For those with equestrian interests, the land is exceptionally well arranged. Facilities include an American-style barn with three stables, tack room and storage, a 40m x 20m manège, neatly fenced paddocks with water supply, and a substantial quadruple garage.
Despite its rural position, Sky End is extremely well connected, with Tiverton Parkway around 15 minutes away and excellent access to the M5, Exeter, the coast and respected independent schools.
Together, the house, annexe, land and outbuildings create a rare and versatile home, thoughtfully designed to adapt and evolve with modern life. If you would like to find out more about this beautiful home, or to arrange a viewing, please click here.
