The character and charm of this beautiful Grade II listed house
dates back hundreds of years, clearly demonstrated by the unique
staircase, the cross passage hall with its original wooden screen
walls and small, interesting windows. As well as the history, the
house enjoys an open aspect to the front and is surprisingly light
for a property of this type as the front of the house faces south.
The principle rooms all over look the garden and surrounding
countryside. Although there are some low doorways and the odd low
beam to navigate, the ceiling heights overall are of average
height. There is oil fired central heating as well as wood burning
stoves and the kitchen is large and recently refitted to give a
light, modern twist. The living dining room is fantastic with its
beams and large fireplace. To the rear on the ground floor is a
utility room and very useful boot room an essential part of a
country house! plus a study and WC. On the first floor are 3 double
bedrooms, all facing south overlooking the lovely front garden plus
a spacious family bathroom.
Outside, the gardens lie predominantly to the south with an
additional area to one side. The house sits on a plot of approx.
0.4 acres so theres a real feeling of space. To the side garden is
a useful barn providing workshop storage space. The gardens have
plenty of room to grow vegetables or to simply sit and enjoy plus
theres several seating areas from which to take in the views.
Across the quiet country lane is ample off road parking for
numerous vehicles and an open fronted covered area plus a modern
agricultural building split into 3 bays, each with a large door and
interconnecting doors. This is suitable for storage of equipment or
keeping animals or both . The remainder of the land approx. 2.7
acres slopes to the stream at the bottom. There is a grassland
paddock which has been managed as a wildflower meadow that could of
course be used for a number of things. There is an area of woodland
that runs down to the stream on the boundary please see land
plan.

YEOFORD is a popular village with a lovely community feel, in a
gentle valley, 4 miles from the market town of Crediton and linked
to Exeter via the Tarka Trainline or with access to the A30 via
Cheriton Bishop. Yeoford is a busy place with yearly festivals,
including Yeofest described by some as the best little beer
festival in Mid Devon. In addition, and for those that prefer
apples there is Yeocider. The modern community hall hosts yoga,
life drawing and crafting classes and the newly refurbished pub The
Duck which serves great food is also home to the community shop.
The village is a great place for families with its own Primary
School, a recently renewed playground and football field, the
church which runs coffee mornings and a Messy Church plus a group
for the under 5s called Sweet Peas. There are lots of great
countryside walks too.
