Just outside of Crediton to the North East is Raddon Top, one of
the highest points locally and notable for the iconic tree shaped
by the wind. From this elevated position of this property, the view
over the rooftops out to Raddon Top can be enjoyed with it ever
changing through the seasons. The house was designed by a local
architect in 2012 built in 2012 2013 to make the most of the views,
the rear elevation is over 3 floors with plenty of glass and doors
lead out to balconies or patio on all 3 levels plus of course the
large windows. You can feel the thought and quality that has gone
into this home, it s incredibly energy efficient with a high level
of insulation, mains gas underfloor heating, solar PV on a
transferable feed in tariff, approx. £1000 per year , a woodburner,
triple glazed windows and doors and also rainwater harvesting which
is used to flush the toilets. Being in the town, it s also got
excellent broadband too.
Tucked away on a private drive shared initially with 2 others ,
it s in a private position, there s ample parking to the front and
side. Entering on the middle floor, you re welcomed by a lovely
hallway which really gives an idea of the quality and style of the
house. There s a modern kitchen breakfast room which was extended
and re fitted in 2018 with a large sociable island, beautifully
designed with all one would expect double Siemens ovens, integrated
microwave and warming drawer, Bosch dishwasher and freezer, NEFF
induction hob, Franke 4in1 boiling water system with filtered cold
water and quartz worktops. Also on this floor is a dining room with
the first of the balconies, giving views over the garden, town and
countryside. The living room also opening onto the balcony has a
woodburner and plenty of glass. There s also a useful WC on this
floor. From the hallway, a door leads to the garage which is
approx. 6m x 2.9m with an electric door it s part used as utility
space and then attractive open stairs lead to the first floor. Here
are 2 double bedrooms, the master bedroom has a beautiful ensuite
shower room and there s a family bathroom which serves the other
double bedroom on this floor. On the lower ground floor there are 2
further large bedrooms, 1 with an ensuite shower room plus there s
storage and a large walk in linen cupboard which could possibly
become another shower room if desired. Again, there s a door to the
patio at the rear.
The gardens are a real feature of this property and maybe a
surprise to some to the extent of it. Once you enter the garden to
the side, gates lead into the garden itself. It s worth checking
out the overview plan to see the approximate boundaries. From the
house, there s a large part covered patio which is ideal for a long
al fresco season, giving options to sit under cover or out in the
open. Steps lead down through the garden with established trees and
shrubs, areas of lawn and eventually lead down to a vegetable plot.
There s a summer house, further decking area and hidden in the wild
garden to the side is a large workshop approx. 6m x 4.8m with power
and light. This is an excellent space that would suit working from
home, hobby room, gym etc. Part of the garden is left a little to
nature, an intentional plan to encourage biodiversity. There is
privately owned access at the bottom of the garden down onto Park
Street that gives easy walking access to the town.
As you ll see, this is a large, modern house which will suit a
range of buyers and one in which the quality and style needs to be
seen in person to appreciate.
