2 bed cottage for sale

High Street, Crediton EX17

Set towards the top of Crediton’s historic High Street, this Grade II listed cottage offers a characterful and surprisingly adaptable home, arranged over three floors and more space than first impressions might suggest. The level walk into town means that shops, cafés, schools and local amenities are all close at hand, making it a convenient base for town living while still retaining a sense of individuality.

Inside, the property is presented in lovely condition and has been thoughtfully used by the current owners to suit modern living. The ground floor is arranged as a generous kitchen and dining space, which works well as the main hub of the home. Fitted with a country style range of units, there is plenty of cupboard and worktop space, along with room for an American-style fridge freezer and freestanding cooker. Windows to the front, along with internal double glazing, help keep the space light while improving insulation. There is also useful storage to the rear and access to a small cellar, ideal for keeping household items tucked away.

On the first floor, the layout includes two bedrooms and a bathroom. One of the bedrooms is a comfortable double with built-in wardrobe storage, while the second room works equally well as a bedroom, guest room or study. The bathroom is fitted with a white suite including a bath with shower over and benefits from internal double glazing to the rear.

The top floor is currently used as a living room, taking advantage of the vaulted feel and roof windows to both front and rear, creating a bright and airy space away from the bustle of the High Street. This room also works well as a spacious principal bedroom if preferred, underlining the flexibility of the house and allowing the accommodation to be arranged to suit different needs.

To the rear of the property is a private area, set within the wider courtyard with space for a shed or secure motorbike storage, and rights of way are in place across the courtyard, which is owned by neighbouring properties. There is no parking with the house but an annual pass can be purchased for the town car park, or private spaces are sometimes available locally, as is on road parking in nearby streets.

Overall, this is a home with real personality, combining period character, flexible living space and a central location. It suits someone looking for something a little different, with the freedom to arrange the rooms around how they actually want to live.

crediton is a vibrant market town with a bustling high street full of independent shops, eateries, and pubs. In recent years a diverse arts scene has grown to include all manner of mediums, with the performing arts making use of the town’s market square where, in the summer months, a range of activities take place. The market square is also home to the town’s twice-monthly farmer’s market. The town has an equally significant past. It was originally the first Bishopric in Devon and the imposing Parish Church of The Holy Cross now stands where once stood Devon’s first Saxon cathedral (909-1050AD). It is also the birthplace of Saint Boniface, one of the founding fathers of the Christian church in Europe. Easily commutable to Exeter and with two primary schools, a secondary school with sixth form as well as a wide range of necessary amenities, it’s clear why the town is a firm favourite with locals and relocators alike.
