2 bed cottage for sale

Crediton EX17

Location is often one of the hardest things to compromise on, but Jockey Cottages offers the rare opportunity to enjoy period charm whilst being just moments from the heart of Crediton.

Positioned just a short walk from the Town Square, Newcombes Meadow and the High Street, this Grade II listed property enjoys a level walk to the independent shops, cafés, pubs and everyday amenities on offer. For those wanting convenience without sacrificing character, it's a location that is hard to beat.

The cottage itself is surprisingly spacious and has been updated in recent years. The accommodation begins with an entrance vestibule and staircase leading to the main living space. The sitting room is a lovely room, full of character and natural light. A new woodburner provides a focal point and adds to the cosy cottage feel too. The kitchen has been modernised and offers good storage and work space for a property of this type, blending contemporary convenience with the cottage's period charm.

Upstairs are two genuine double bedrooms, both enjoying original character features. The second bedroom also benefits from useful additional storage. The bathroom includes a corner bath and separate shower.

Outside, the rear garden is enclosed and designed to be easy to maintain, with a paved patio providing plenty of space for sitting out, entertaining or simply enjoying some fresh air without the upkeep of a larger garden.

Properties in this position rarely stay available for long. Whether you're looking for a first home, investment property, downsizing opportunity or simply a character cottage within walking distance of everything Crediton has to offer, this is certainly one worth viewing.

Although the property does not have allocated parking, on-street parking is available nearby and does not currently require a permit.

Crediton is a vibrant market town with a bustling high street full of independent shops, eateries, and pubs. In recent years a diverse arts scene has grown to include all manner of mediums, with the performing arts making use of the town’s market square where, in the summer months, a range of activities take place. The market square is also home to the town’s twice-monthly farmer’s market. The town has an equally significant past. It was originally the first Bishopric in Devon and the imposing Parish Church of The Holy Cross now stands where once stood Devon’s first Saxon cathedral (909-1050AD). It is also the birthplace of Saint Boniface, one of the founding fathers of the Christian church in Europe. 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.
