Property description
Substantial 1950s detached family residence with far reaching views
DESCRIPTION A substantial 1950's detached family residence, well located within the town and benefiting from far reaching views over the rooftops to the countryside beyond. It was originally constructed in the 1950s by the well regarded local firm of Dart and Francis, known for their use of quality materials which can be seen throughout Porch House with the original solid Oak doors, Oak block flooring and Oak panelling plus an impressive Oak staircase with a large landing. Located off of Peoples Park, the surroundings are somewhat protected and over a fantastic outlook in all directions.
The present owners have sympathetically updated and extended the property during their ownership whilst retaining the history and quality of the house while doing so. Many of the original features as previously mentioned are in excellent condition which seamlessly integrate into modern living such as the large kitchen/family room and the principle reception rooms, all opening out onto the South facing terrace overlooking the gardens. There is mains gas central heating, double glazing and the whole property is presented in excellent order throughout.
Many of the rooms open onto or overlook the generous South facing gardens, which gently slope away from the house and contain a vast array of established plants, shrubs and trees giving a good degree of privacy and character. There is ample parking and a garage plus there is room (stp) for further development if required.
CREDITON is an old Mid Devon market town with a wealth of history, being situated just 7.5 miles north-west of the Cathedral City of Exeter with the M5 motorway some 3 miles further on. The town is surrounded by unspoilt farmland in an area of great natural beauty. There is a regular daily bus service to Exeter plus trains every hour to Exeter and Barnstaple and a local town bus which covers most urban areas. The town is most famous for its ancient parish church and for being the birthplace of St Boniface in 680 AD. It has excellent schooling facilities at both senior and junior levels and a sports and leisure centre incorporating a superb swimming pool. The town has an excellent selection of shops with a Morrisons and a large Tesco superstore/petrol filling station.
