Crediton, being an old market town with plenty of history, is full of characterful properties, many with stories to tell, so to find a two bedroom cottage in the town isn t unusual. But what is unusual about this property is what s behind the fa ade that most people would see. Located within easy reach of the town, including schools, supermarkets and public transport, this home is ideally situated.

The house itself is end terraced, built of brick under a slate roof and has mains services. The current owners have done a wonderful job of updating the property without losing character of the original cottage. It s got sash style uPVC double glazing to the front which again adds to the character. One of the first differences to the usual brick cottages locally, is the access. From the pavement and through a garden gate, the approach is instantly unusual yet entirely practical. Not only does this make it a safe entrance exit for those with children or pets, but also, once through the gate, you re into your own garden space, even before entering the door to the house.

Internally, there s a central kitchen breakfast room with a well fitted kitchen providing ample storage and working spaces. There s a separate living room to the front with an original fireplace and then to the rear of the kitchen is a light garden room usually used as a dining room which overlooks the garden. There s an enclosed hall, again with plenty of light and this leads to a useful utility room at the rear. On the first floor are two double bedrooms and a lovely bathroom with shower.

The garden is a real feature of the house and we love the integrated fish pond with it s glass side. There s areas of paving, lawn and beds plus a useful storage shed. There is no parking with the house but on street parking is available nearby.

The market square is also home to the town s twice monthly farmer s market. The town has an equally significant past.

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.
