Morchard Bishop, Crediton, EX17

4 Bedroom Semi-Detached House for sale in Crediton

3 4 2

A semi-detached cottage with a notably generous feel, set in a rural position with far-reaching views towards Dartmoor. While traditionally styled, the property offers more space and ceiling height than many cottages, giving it something closer to a farmhouse in both scale and layout.

The kitchen has a country style, fitted with granite worktops, integrated washing machine and dishwasher, and centred around an original inglenook fireplace with bread oven—an authentic feature that reflects the age of the building. A separate dining room includes a pressure jet Rayburn, which also heats the radiators throughout the house, adding both function and character.

The main sitting room is comfortable and well proportioned, with a multi-fuel woodburning stove, while a third reception room—complete with original meat hooks—offers a flexible space that could suit a home office, studio or playroom.

Upstairs, the principal bedroom is particularly spacious and includes an en suite with both bath and separate shower. There are three further bedrooms, all of a good size, along with a family bathroom also fitted with a bath and separate shower.

Outside, the rear courtyard provides a large and practical working space, with a range of outbuildings including an outside WC, greenhouse and a substantial workshop. There is gated parking for up to four vehicles, along with space for storage and equipment, and the oil tank is also housed here.

To the front, a lawned garden with a mature mulberry tree leads down to a productive vegetable garden with raised beds. A short walk along the lane brings you to additional land, extending to approximately 2.5 acres. This includes an orchard, a level paddock with water supply, and a well-built timber barn—offering a range of possibilities depending on how the land is used.

The property is available with no onward chain, and combines practical space, original features and outdoor potential, all set within a landscape that gives a strong sense of the surrounding Devon countryside.
