Cheriton Fitzpaine, Crediton, EX17

4 Bedroom Detached House for sale in Crediton

There’s a lot here that sets this small development apart from the average new build. Just four individual homes are being created in this lovely rural setting a couple of miles from Cheriton Fitzpaine, each enjoying a generous plot and fantastic countryside views, with Plots 1 and 2 expected to be ready in Spring/Summer 2027. The houses combine traditional proportions and materials with a contemporary edge, using faced brick, stone and cedar alongside anthracite Velfac double glazing. At around 1,700 sqft plus garaging, there’s proper space both inside and out, while energy efficiency has been central to the specification. Air-source heat pumps with underfloor heating, high levels of insulation, solar PV and battery storage are all planned, helping to reduce energy consumption and future running costs. Reserve early enough in the build and there’s also the opportunity to have some input into the finishing touches, including a choice of kitchen styles, flooring and bathroom tiling. Cheriton Fitzpaine itself is only a couple of miles away, providing a primary school, community shop, two pubs, doctors’ surgery and an active village community.

Plot 1 occupies a particularly appealing position towards the outer edge of the development and has been designed around the way families actually live. The ground floor combines a separate living room with a large kitchen/dining room, giving you somewhere sociable at the heart of the house without sacrificing the ability to shut the door on a separate sitting room. The kitchen is centred around an island and opens directly outside, while a separate utility, WC and useful study provide the practical spaces that make a house of this size work properly. The study also gives valuable flexibility as an occasional fifth bedroom, playroom or work-from-home space. Upstairs are four double bedrooms, with an en-suite shower room to the principal bedroom and a separate family bathroom. Bathrooms will continue the quality feel with tiling, wall-hung WCs, vanity basins and generous showering facilities, while the contemporary anthracite Velfac windows add a crisp finish inside and out. The attached garage provides further useful parking and storage.

Outside, Plot 1 has the sort of space around it that is increasingly difficult to find with a newly built home. There’s private parking alongside the attached garage, a generous garden and an open outlook that really makes the most of the countryside setting. There is also the opportunity, by separate negotiation, to purchase additional wild meadow land adjoining the residential plot, potentially creating an even more substantial holding for someone wanting extra space for wildlife, recreation or simply to protect and enjoy more of the surrounding landscape. The private access road and visitor parking will be shared by the four homes, together with an area associated with the development's shared infrastructure, with the eventual owners collectively controlling the residents' management company. It's a small-scale development where space, outlook, quality and energy efficiency have been prioritised, rather than simply fitting as many houses as possible onto the site.
