Property description
*** VIRTUAL VIEWING TOUR *** Fancy a project? 3/4 bed DETACHED period COTTAGE in need of MODERNISATION, offers TREMENDOUS POTENTIAL in the centre of very sought after village, 150ft x 65ft rear garden backing onto fields with STUNNING VIEWS, GARAGE and off road parking, SPACE to EXTEND subject to the necessary permissions.
DESCRIPTION This spacious detached property offers plenty of scope to have a lovely family home in a stunning and highly sought after village location, yet still handy for Crediton and Exeter.
The property is in need of complete modernisation throughout with kitchen, bathroom, carpets and décor all requiring updating. What a fantastic opportunity to put your own mark on your next home with your own choice of kitchen, bathroom and carpets rather than living with someone else’s!
On the ground floor, there is currently a large living/dining room extending to 18 ft by nearly 17 ft, a downstairs bedroom 4 / play room , study and kitchen/utility. The kitchen currently has an oil fired Rayburn.
The first floor benefits from three double bedrooms (one with a wash hand basin, so a conversion to an en-suite is possible), a master bedroom with a walk in wardrobe and a third double bedroom.
A real feature of the property is the wonderful rear garden extending to over 150ft long by 65ft wide, significantly larger than average and offering stunning country views over adjoining countryside, which can be enjoyed from the bottom of the garden after clearance of some overgrown bushes.
There is certainly space for the property to be extended, subject to gaining the necessary permissions.
The property has a garage with an electric up and over door and its own driveway parking for 2/3 vehicles.
Shobrooke is a village, parish and former manor – located 1½ miles north east of Crediton. The village backdrop is that of smaller hills, and brief woodland ridges, with oak and ash commonplace – interspersed by a collaged, arable landscape, of frequent colour. The name ‘Shobrooke’ is derived from the old English words ‘succa’ and ‘broc’, meaning ‘Hob-goblin Brook’. Nearby lies Shobrooke Park, a spacious country estate, open to the public, with many wizened and ancient trees standing tall. Furthermore it claims a large fishing lake, and a grassy amphitheatre – for live music on summer nights. The Red Lion Inn offers B&B facilities, a beer garden with lush country views, and excellent food and drink. Plus, it provides a welcome rest stop to those travelling between Land’s End and John O’groats. Shobrooke is in the immediate catchment area for the schools in Crediton – also home to the closest shops.
DIRECTIONS Upon entering Shobrooke from Crediton, proceed down the hill and The Old Post Office will be found on the left, beyond the sought after village pub.
