Property description
NO CHAIN and seriously for sale - 5 bedroomed 3 storey period house located in peaceful rural hamlet setting well away from main roads yet only 1 mile from Crediton, a couple of minutes from Downes Golf Course, and excellent links to Exeter, large mature gardens to 0.25 acres, wonderful rural views, spacious accommodation over 3 floor levels, gas central heating
This very attractive semi-detached period house is beautifully located in the small rural hamlet of Hookway at the far end of a no-through road enjoying high levels of peace and tranquility. Crediton is only 1 mile to the north, and the A377 is within a short drive which gives very easy access to Exeter. Also nearby is the lovely Downes 18 hole Golf Course.
Hookway is little more than a scattering of period houses and thatched cottages located in a beautiful valley to the south of Crediton.
The house offers deceptively spacious and versatile 5 bedroomed accommodation over 3 floor levels, with most rooms enjoying lovely rural views across open countryside. It benefits from gas central heating (LPG), and some double glazing, with most of the ground floor windows having been replaced with solid natural wood framed casements.
The gardens are large and mature and are a beautiful feature of the property - in all extending to about a quarter of an acre. There is a large area of lawn ideal for families, an orchard, soft fruit/veg garden, and numerous outbuildings including a double garage which has been semi-converted into a garden room, a workshop, a summerhouse with veranda, garden store, and greenhouse.
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.
DIRECTIONS Leaving the High Street towards Exeter, turn right just before the Shell fuel garage, as signed to Fordton, Hookway and Golf Course. Follow the road through Fordton and over a river bridge. At the top of the hill turn left at the crossroads, as signed to the Golf Course. Proceed along the country lane, passing the Golf Course (on your left), and take the next right turning into Hookway. Proceed to the very end of the lane, and the house will be found on your left.
