Crediton (ref: 502df750-7...)

Located towards the western end of the High Street, close to St Lawrence Green, this attractive end terraced town house is one that many local people will pass daily without realising what’s on offer inside. From the outside, it’s a well-proportioned property and it has been part of the street scene of the town for decades, hence its Grade II listed status as in important building within the town. The current owners have improved the house since their ownership and it now offers spacious accommodation over 4 floors which includes a full height basement, the ground floor, first floor and then the loft which offers huge potential, is already floorboarded and could be turned into an incredible addition to the house. It has mains services with electric heating and there is superfast broadband. The house is ideally located for public transport and schools, plus it’s a level and short walk to the shops of the thriving High Street. With it’s large footprint, there’s potential to create a flat in the basement or turn the entire house into letting units or an HMO – subject to permissions (neighbouring properties have already accommodated this).

Entering the front door, you’re welcomed by a choice of 2 large reception rooms to the ground floor full of light which both face south. There’s a separate dining room with a feature wall, stripped floorboards and an attractive fireplace, a great room for entertaining. The living room has exposed timbers and another feature fireplace. To the rear of the ground floor is a great sized study (potential bed 4 if preferred) including another original feature fireplace and a kitchen, well designed to the space and plenty of shaker style cabinets. A staircase leads down to the basement level where there is a garden room opening onto the private courtyard garden to the rear. This provides an additional entrance to the lower ground floor level too. There is a large utility room with plumbing for washing machine etc and further storage areas plus a workshop/store with another handy door to outside. This whole lower ground floor has the potential to be a self-contained flat or annexe and would have a separate entrance if converted. Up on the first floor are 3 double light and airy bedrooms, all tastefully decorated and of a good size. The family bathroom with decorative panelling conceals a hidden door (clearly this wasn’t always a bathroom) which leads to the loft with potential as described above. With a small amount of re-configuration the access to the loft could be moved through the hallway.

Outside, the courtyard garden to the rear is level and peaceful space with brick flowerbed and outside tap, a timber fence with trellis top adds to the privacy and can be accessed from the house or via a footpath to the rear. It’s a great area to sit out in the summer and a nice addition to this great property. There is no parking with the house but an annual pass can be purchased for car parks locally (private and council) and there is unrestricted on street parking nearby. There is also options to rent garages nearby.

Please see the floorplan for room sizes.
