Full Details for 4 Bedroom Detached for sale in Crediton, EX17 :
A substantial 1930‘s detached family residence, well located within the town and benefiting from far reaching views over the rooftops to the church and countryside beyond. It was originally constructed in the 1930s by the well regarded local firm of Dart and Francis, known for their use of quality materials which can be seen throughout Upauver with the original solid Oak doors, flooring and an impressive Oak staircase with an open semi-galleried landing.
The spacious accommodation would now benefit from being tastefully modernised, but includes four good sized bedrooms and a family bath and shower room upstairs, while the ground floor offers scope to create a lovely kitchen diner within the existing layout, while keeping the two formal reception rooms in place. As you would expect, high ceilings and usable square rooms are found throughout.
Many of the rooms face to overlook the generous South facing lawned gardens, which gently slope away from the house with established trees also in place. Immediately behind the house is a raised seating area too, although partially overgrown at present. Upauver also benefits from ample parking and an attached garage with double doors.

Crediton: An ancient market town, with a contemporary feel – only a short, 20-minute drive NW from the city of Exeter. Set in the Vale of the River Creedy, amongst gentle, rolling hills and verdant pastures. Sincerely picture postcard. Once the capital of Devon, Crediton is famed for its inspiring sandstone church and for being the birthplace of Saint Boniface in 680 AD. Its high street is a vibrant place, abuzz with trade –artisan coffee shops, roaring pubs, a farmers’ market and bakeries, jam-packed with mouthwatering delights. For those commuting it has hassle free transport links into Exeter and for schooling a prestigious community college (Queen Elizabeth’s) – with an Ofsted “outstanding” sixth form. In addition, it boasts a brilliant gym & leisure centre for New Year’s resolutions, two supermarkets for the weekly shop and a trading estate for any practical needs. All neatly held in a single valley.
