BEAUTIFUL detached picture postcard thatched Devon cottage brimming with character set in HALF ACRE of gardens & grounds, MAGNIFICENT panoramic rural views across adjoining farmland to Dartmoor, extremely private location yet only 5 minutes from Crediton

The “Thatched Cottage” is a beautiful detached country property set in lovely gardens and grounds to about half an acre, located in a most picturesque part of the countryside just 1 mile from the popular town of Crediton. It faces south and enjoys some of the finest views in this part of the county, looking over adjoining farmland with the rolling hills of Dartmoor in the distance.

The cottage, which is believed to date back to Elizabethan times, offers spacious family accommodation (with 2 staircases giving much flexibility) having been tastefully decorated and is very well presented throughout. There are some lovely period features including two lovely old stone fireplaces, exposed ceiling beams (one of which has a carving \"ER-1601\"), various plaster castings of Tudor Roses, Fleur De Lys, and a delightful cedar tiled porch.  It also benefits from up-to-date comforts, with a modern kitchen (including an oil-fired Aga), oil-fired central heating and uPVC cottage style double glazed windows.

The gardens and grounds extend to about half an acre and are a particularly delightful feature of the property.  They are extremely well established, and entirely encompass the property.  There are well kept areas of lawn interspersed by trees, colourful flowerbeds, and shrubs, plus a small wooded area giving shelter and privacy.  The main entrance is through a 5-bar gate with a long tarmac driveway giving a real \"country house\" feel. There are spacious areas of parking for numerous vehicles plus ample space for a caravan, trailer or boat, and a detached double garage.

The Thatched Cottage is situated just off the A377 Exeter/Barnstaple road which gives very easy access into Crediton which literally a few minutes down the road.  The property is particularly well screened by established trees and hedging.  In the past, the property has been used as a successful country guest house, bed and breakfast, holiday accommodation etc, and is ideally located for such occupations.

CREDITON is an old Mid Devon market town with a wealth of history, being situated just 7.5 miles north-west of the Cathedral City of Exeter with the M5 motorway some 3 miles further on.  The town is surrounded by unspoilt farmland in an area of great natural beauty.  There is a regular daily bus service to Exeter plus trains every hour to Exeter and Barnstaple and a local town bus which covers most urban areas.  The town is most famous for its ancient parish church and for being the birthplace of St Boniface in 680 AD.  It has excellent schooling facilities at both senior and junior levels and a sports and leisure centre incorporating a superb swimming pool.  The town has an excellent selection of shops with a Morrisons and a large Tesco superstore/petrol filling station. 

DIRECTIONS  From Crediton take the A377 Barnstaple road for just over 1 mile and turn left as signposted Coleford and Yeoford. Immediately after this junction, turn left again into the drive of The Thatched Cottage.
