Terraced House, Cheriton Fitzpaine, Crediton, EX17

The pretty Mid Devon village of Cheriton Fitzpaine is conveniently located just 5 miles from Crediton, 7 miles from Tiverton, and 10 miles from both Cullompton and Exeter, offering excellent access to a range of shopping, schooling, and leisure facilities. This popular village is home to a modern Primary School, a community shop and a local farm shop with café along with two welcoming pubs, The Ring of Bells and The Half Moon, which are central to the community. Additionally, the village boasts a variety of social clubs to get involved in. There’s a bus to secondary school in Crediton on a daily basis.

Nestled in the centre of this sought-after village, is this charming three-bedroom home with plenty of character. The attractive stone façade gives an indication that there’s more to this than your average village cottage. The current owners have completed a recent renovation of the property which leaves very little for a new owner to do. The kitchen in particular has been completely renewed (Feb 2025) and gives a modern edge to this characterful house. The property is a must-see to fully appreciate its unique appeal.

Internally, it lives up to the external appeal with a tiled entrance hall giving access to the large living/dining room, an ideal space to entertain or chill out, the size gives plenty of options for layouts plus there’s a wood-burning stove making a lovely feature. The aforementioned kitchen and its central island will be a real attraction for many and there’s a separate utility room too. Above the utility room is a loft room and this could be incorporated into the living spaces subject to the necessary permissions. To the rear of the living room is a sun room, overlooking the rear garden and a door here provides a further access to the gardens. The house has double glazing and oil fired central heating throughout. On the first floor, you'll find three well-proportioned bedrooms, one with a feature fireplace and one with built in storage, along with a family shower room and some eaves storage space.

Outside, the rear garden is a particular highlight of the house and steps lead up to patio and seating areas. The garden is easily manageable, featuring a level, south-facing lawn bordered by a mix of cottage garden flowers, shrubs, and small trees. A charming old brick wall edges one side of the garden, while at the far end, two timber sheds provide useful storage. This private, tranquil garden is a real gem and a perfect spot for outdoor enjoyment.
