Full Details for 3 Bedroom Detached for sale in Crediton, EX17 :
Delightful end terrace Grade II listed thatched cottage with a wealth of period features.
This delightful end terrace Grade II listed thatched cottage is full of old world charm and character with a wealth of period features including beams, alcoves, a lovely exposed inglenook fireplace still with the bread oven intact and a wood burning-stove.
The property has been recently updated in a sympathetic fashion to give some modern day conveniences such as a modern “Ashgrove” fitted kitchen with Neff appliances, oil fired central heating and newly fitted carpets through much of the property. The thatch was replaced in 2010. There is much exposed timber work and natural wood flooring, again in keeping with the style of the property.
On the ground floor is a 3rd bedroom or study which opens out to the rear of the property via double doors.
Outside it is well set back from the village road by an enclosed and private lawned garden with a variety of well-established plants. To the side is a driveway leading to off-road parking with a slate roof providing excellent storage space. There are further outbuildings and the rear garden is large and pleasantly secluded with fantastic views across the adjoining farmland and on to the rolling Devon hills. The garden contains many well established trees (including productive apple trees) and is mainly laid to lawn with a raised sun-deck which takes advantage of the stunning views. The garden offers a new owner the freedom to create whatever they require.
DIRECTIONS : If entering Shobrooke from Crediton, proceed down into the village going past the Red Lion Inn on your left. Just after the Red Lion, the cottage will be found on the left hand side of the village lane.
Shobrooke is a village, parish and former manor – located 1½ miles north east of Crediton. The village backdrop is that of smaller hills, and brief woodland ridges, with oak and ash commonplace – interspersed by a collaged, arable landscape, of frequent colour. The name ‘Shobrooke’ is derived from the old English words ‘succa’ and ‘broc’, meaning ‘Hob-goblin Brook’. Nearby lies Shobrooke Park, a spacious country estate, open to the public, with many wizened and ancient trees standing tall. Furthermore it claims a large fishing lake, and a grassy amphitheatre – for live music on summer nights. The Red Lion Inn offers B&B facilities, a beer garden with lush country views, and excellent food and drink. Plus, it provides a welcome rest stop to those travelling between Land’s End and John O’groats. Shobrooke is in the immediate catchment area for the schools in Crediton – also home to the closest shops.
