Properties like Vinley rarely become available.

Located on a small country lane, directly adjoining Downes Crediton Golf Club, it enjoys a setting that's difficult to replicate. Surrounded by rolling countryside yet within walking distance of Crediton's shops, cafés, schools and railway station, it offers the best of both worlds. Morning walks across the golf course (via the public footpath), evenings in the garden and the convenience of town just a short stroll away create a lifestyle that's increasingly hard to find.

The house itself offers comfortable accommodation with plenty of scope for its next owners to make it their own. Whilst some updating is now required, it has been well cared for over the years and provides an excellent starting point for anyone looking to create a long-term family home in a truly special location.

The ground floor includes a welcoming sitting room with wood burning, cosy, open fireplace, overlooking the gardens with French doors opening onto the patio, a separate dining room, kitchen and cloakroom. Upstairs are three generous double bedrooms together with the family bathroom.

However, it's outside where Vinley really comes into its own.

The mature gardens provide a wonderful sense of privacy and space, with established planting, lawns and beautiful trees creating a peaceful setting throughout the seasons. Whether you're relaxing on the patio, gardening or simply enjoying the outlook across neighbouring countryside, it's a setting that encourages you to slow down and appreciate where you are.

The outbuildings are another major attraction and offer possibilities that are becoming increasingly difficult to find. From the old smithy, complete with its original cobbled floor, to the various workshops, garages and studio spaces, there is an enormous amount of flexibility here. Whether you're looking for storage, workshop space, somewhere to run a business from home, creative studios or, subject to the necessary planning permissions, conversion into additional accommodation, the opportunities are considerable.

Equally exciting is the potential to enlarge or remodel the existing house. Subject to the relevant permissions, buyers have the chance to create something truly exceptional whilst retaining everything that makes this location so special.

Opportunities like this don't come along very often. A detached home in such a peaceful yet convenient location, with mature gardens, extensive outbuildings and genuine scope to add value, is becoming increasingly rare. For buyers with vision, Vinley offers the chance to create a forever home in one of the area's most desirable settings.

CREDITON is a vibrant market town with a bustling high street full of independent shops, eateries, and pubs. In recent years a diverse arts scene has grown to include all manner of mediums, with the performing arts making use of the town’s market square where, in the summer months, a range of activities take place. The market square is also home to the town’s twice-monthly farmer’s market. The town has an equally significant past. It was originally the first Bishopric in Devon and the imposing Parish Church of The Holy Cross now stands where once stood Devon’s first Saxon cathedral (909-1050AD). It is also the birthplace of Saint Boniface, one of the founding fathers of the Christian church in Europe. Easily commutable to Exeter and with two primary schools, a secondary school with sixth form as well as a wide range of necessary amenities, it’s clear why the town is a firm favourite with locals and relocators alike.

DIRECTIONS : Leaving Crediton via Fordton, go over the river bridge and take the next left signed to Hookway. The property will be found after approx. 500m on the left hand side before reaching the Golf Club.
