4 bed detached house for sale

The Meadows, Yeoford EX17

Built in the 1980’s, Eagle Lodge certainly offers a huge amount of living and hobby space. It’s located in a small residential cul-de-sac of just a handful of houses on the edge of Yeoford, a Mid Devon village just 10 minutes from Crediton, and 10 minutes to the A30 at Cheriton Bishop. The village has a small primary school (bus service to secondary in Crediton), a lovely Restaurant – The Duck – and unusually, it’s a village with a train station, linking to Crediton and Exeter in one direction and Barnstaple in the other.

The house itself is certainly spacious, but not only that, pretty unique. The former owners created a home that fitted their lives, with specific rooms for hobbies, for entertaining and living life. Now the house just needs someone to see that potential. There’s so much space on offer, and yes, it needs some updating but the structure is there, there’s solar pv’s and an air source heat pump to reduce energy use and lower bills plus there are chimneys in the house so wood-burner installation would be possible too, (subject to new linings being fitted).

Internally, the layout is over 3 floors, plus the large boarded loft with windows. A bespoke spiral staircase runs between all floors. On the entrance level is a welcoming hallway with a large living room on the south side with a fireplace and opening to the conservatory. There’s a link through to the separate dining room too plus a “diner” style booth and through to the kitchen, (with rayburn, last used in May 2025 and serviced November 2023 ), and utility room (with door to rear garden). Completing this level is a study and useful WC. The lower ground floor overs a wonderfully flexible space and could be used for a multitude of things such as a cinema room, games room or gym. There’s a sauna and shower too and storage.

The first floor is home to the 4 double bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. All rooms are a good size and with pleasant outlooks. From the first floor landing, the stairs continue (with limited head height) to the fully boarded loft, ideal for hobbies or storage.

Outside, there’s ample parking and the gardens surround the property with areas of lawns and paving. The array of outbuildings offer yet more potential with a garage, a workshop, a double garage (note there is a door but it’s not working) and yet another single garage and a store. For those with an interest in workshop space or studio space, this would work well whilst still retaining garage space. The outbuildings were built of cavity walls so there’s also the opportunity to explore converting it to an annexe if required (planning would be needed).

In all, a huge house, just in need of some imagination on how all that room could be used. The house is being sold with no onward chain.
