Zeal Monachorum, Crediton, EX17

4 Bedroom End of Terrace House for sale in Crediton

2 4 3

Occupying a wonderful semi-rural position between Eastleigh and Zeal Monachorum, 3 Leigh Cross enjoys far-reaching countryside views in every direction whilst remaining surprisingly well connected. Crediton, Chulmleigh and Okehampton are all within easy reach, whilst Eggesford Station on the Tarka Line is only a couple of miles away, providing direct rail links between Barnstaple and Exeter. Originally one of just three cottages, the property has been transformed through an extensive renovation and striking two-storey extension, creating a home that successfully blends the warmth and character of a traditional Devon cottage with the light, space and practicality of modern family living.

At the heart of the home is a superb farmhouse-style kitchen and dining room, designed as a sociable space where family life naturally comes together and opening directly onto the gardens. Alongside are two generous reception rooms, both have wood burners, one of which is gas effect and has a remote control, providing flexibility for entertaining, relaxing or working from home, together with a separate utility room to keep the practicalities of daily life neatly tucked away. One of the home's standout features is the stunning double-height atrium landing, flooding the centre of the house with natural light and creating a striking architectural focal point. Upstairs are four genuine double bedrooms, two enjoying their own ensuite shower rooms, making it an ideal home for growing families, visiting guests or multi-generational living.

Outside, the level gardens extend to approximately a quarter of an acre, offering plenty of space for children to play, keen gardeners to indulge their passion or simply somewhere to relax and enjoy the peaceful surroundings. Much of the hard landscaping has already been completed, leaving a fantastic opportunity for a new owner to add the finishing touches and create a garden to suit their own lifestyle. Ample driveway parking completes what is a beautifully balanced home, combining the charm of country cottage living with the comfort, style and flexibility expected of a contemporary family home.

ZEAL MONACHORUM is an ancient hilltop village surrounding a late Saxon church which forms the centre of the village’s conservation area and envelops a variety of listed properties. The village’s elevated location gives it views across to both Exmoor and Dartmoor and the Two Moors Way that links these national parks passes close by, Zeal M is also a stop on the Devonshire Heartland Way. While the village has Saxon roots, Zeal Monachorum, or the Latin; Cella Monachorum, means ‘Cell of the Monks’ and bears witness to King Cnut’s 1018 gift of the manor to the Cistercian abbey at Buckfast Abbey, it remained part of the Abbey until the reformation in 1539. Today, the village is home to a proactive community that makes good use of its village hall amenity and the W.I is one of the largest and most welcoming in the area. The village pub, The Waie Inn, is regarded as one of the most family-friendly pubs in the area and offers a wide range of sporting facilities as well as accommodation. The nearest shop is 1½ miles away at Bow where there is also a well-stocked garden centre with café. Buses to Okehampton and Exeter can also be found in Bow, while 1½ in the other direction at Morchard Road, is the Tarka Line rail line serving Barnstaple, Crediton, and Exeter. At eight-miles distance, Crediton is the nearest town and offers a range of amenities. Primary schooling is in BOW, OFSTED Good and is served by a minibus while children of secondary school-age catch the bus to Queen Elizabeth’s in Crediton.
