4 Bedroom Detached House for sale in Crediton

2 4 3

Just outside of Crediton to the North East is Raddon Top, one of the highest points locally and notable for the iconic tree shaped by the wind. From this elevated position of this property, the view over the rooftops out to Raddon Top can be enjoyed with it ever changing through the seasons. The house was designed by a local architect in 2012 built in 2012/2013 to make the most of the views. The rear elevation is over 3 floors with plenty of glass and doors lead out to balconies or patio on all 3 levels plus of course the large windows. You can feel the thought and quality that has gone into this home - it’s incredibly energy efficient with a high level of insulation, mains gas underfloor heating, solar PV (on a transferable feed in tariff, approx. £1000 per year), a woodburner, triple glazed windows and doors and also rainwater harvesting which is used to flush the toilets. Being in the town, it’s also got excellent broadband.

Tucked away on a private drive (shared initially with 2 others), there is ample parking to the front and side. Entering on the middle floor, you’re welcomed by a lovely hallway which really gives an idea of the quality and style of the house. There is a modern kitchen/breakfast room which was extended  and re-fitted in 2018 with a large sociable island, beautifully designed with all one would expect – double Siemens ovens, integrated microwave and warming drawer, Bosch dishwasher and freezer, NEFF induction hob, Franke 4in1 boiling water system with filtered cold water and quartz worktops. Also on this floor is a dining room with the first of the balconies giving views over the garden, town and countryside. The living room also opening onto the balcony has a woodburner and plenty of glass. There’s also a useful WC on this floor.

From the hallway, a door leads to the garage which is approx. 6m x 2.9m with an electric door (it’s part used as utility space) and then attractive open stairs lead to the first floor. Here are 2 double bedrooms - the master bedroom has a beautiful ensuite shower room and there’s a family bathroom which serves the other double bedroom on this floor. On the lower ground floor there are 2 further large bedrooms, 1 with an ensuite shower room plus there’s storage and a large walk in linen cupboard which could possibly become another shower room if desired. Again, there’s a door to the patio at the rear.

The gardens are a real feature of this property and may be a surprise to some as to the extent of it. Once you enter the garden to the side, gates lead into the garden itself. It’s worth checking out the overview plan to see the approximate boundaries. From the house, there’s a large part covered patio which is ideal for a long al fresco season, giving options to sit under cover or out in the open. Steps lead down through the garden with established trees and shrubs, areas of lawn and eventually lead down to a vegetable plot. There’s a summer house, further decking area and hidden in the wild garden to the side is a large workshop (approx. 6m x 4.8m) with power and light. This is an excellent space that would suit working from home, hobby room, gym etc. Part of the garden is left a little to nature, an intentional plan to encourage biodiversity. There is privately owned access at the bottom of the garden down onto Park Street that gives easy walking access to the town.

As you’ll see, this is a large, modern house which will suit a range of buyers and one in which the quality and style needs to be seen in person to appreciate.

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.
