Cheriton Fitzpaine, Crediton, EX17

The charm of a spacious Victorian property is irresistible and this property doesn’t disappoint, with high ceilings, well proportioned rooms, period features and an enclosed cottage garden.  Whilst there is room to update this home, there is an abundance of space and light to work with.

You enter the property into a spacious hall with original tiled flooring and original staircase, off to the right is the outline of the kitchen, the current owners have prepared the space with electrics and plumbing and have re-plastered so it’s all ready for the new owner to make their mark.  This is also the case for the adjoining pantry/utility room.  On this floor there is also a bathroom with large enclosed shower with double head and an attractive vanity unit and sink.  A door from the rear hall leads directly into the garage. The impressive dining room with exposed original floorboards, original cupboards and sash bay window with shutters overlooks the rear garden. A spacious lounge also to the rear of the property has a black slate Victorian fireplace with multifuel woodburning stove (certificated).  A bedroom leads from this room with a temporary wall which could be opened back up into one large lounge if desired.

Upstairs there are two beautiful large doubles to the rear overlooking the garden.  The owners have created a kitchen area whilst the downstairs kitchen was being re-furbished in what was a bedroom which could be re-instated or used as a dressing room for the master bedroom.  There are two front bedrooms, one a double and one a large single and the 1st floor also has a bathroom with bath, sink and WC.  The windows are wooden sash style, there is oil fired central heating and mains drainage.

Outside to the front is a garage with space for a car and a rear store which houses the boiler and hot water tank with a sink and door to the rear garden.  The rear garden can also be accessed through a passageway on the other end of the property.  The garden is well established with fruit trees, roses and an abundance of shrubs and flowers.  With some clearance to open up the areas it will expose some lovely stone walls and cobbled paths, in what was a very well tended and thought out garden.
