5 bedroom detached house for sale

Often, houses suitable for multigenerational living can be compromised, either the main living spaces aren’t quite big enough, or the annexe is too small. This certainly isn’t the case here in Yeoford. The village itself is well situated just 4 miles from Crediton and has a pub/restaurant, primary school (bus to secondary school) as well as a train station linking to Crediton and onto Exeter. The property comprises of a 4 bedroomed family home with a 1 bedroom self contained annexe. It is situated in a quiet cul-de-sac on the edge of the village, the large plot which extends to approx. a third of an acre, backs onto fields and has some beautiful outlooks over the adjoining countryside to the rear and ample parking at the front for a number of vehicles. The entire plot is pretty level too making access to both parts of the property easy. It goes without saying that should the annexe not be required as a separate living area, it could all be used as one. Throughout, the quality of the house is high with modern uPVC double glazing and oil fired central heating and lovely additions such as glazed balustrades to the main house as well as cavity wall insulation and solar PV (more about that later) to reduce running costs. Plus all bedrooms and the living room have silent, timer controlled ceiling fans which help to keep the house cool in the summer and circulate warm air in the winter months.

The House

A useful front porch welcomes you with ample space for coats and boots. The hallway is spacious and gives access to the living room with a wood-burning stove and doors opening out to the rear garden. There’s a useful ground floor WC and then a study to the rear, again overlooking the garden with large windows. The kitchen is a particular feature of the house. A German kitchen, designed with style and functionality at the core. Its well laid out and different to the usual fitted kitchens which is good to see. There’s a sociable breakfast bar and the remainder of the room is used as a dining space with doors to the garden. To complete the ground floor of the main house is a utility room which not only can be shared with the annexe but also provides the access between the two parts of the property. An attractive staircase leads to a wide landing and gives access to the 4 bedrooms, 2 of which having their own ensuites, with the remaining 2 bedrooms utilising the family bathroom.

Outside, to the front is ample off-road parking with room for numerous vehicles plus this leads to the large single garage with remote controlled roller door and a Podpoint EV charger. There’s access to the sides of the house to the large and level rear garden with a large patio from which to enjoy the views over the garden and adjoining countryside. The lawns are well kept and natural hedging and fencing form the boundaries. Towards the bottom of the garden is a wildflower area and a large workshop with power, ideal for those with hobbies or those looking to work from home and is currently set up as a woodworking workshop.

The Annexe

The annexe has it’s own access as well as being linked to the house. There’s a well fitted kitchen, living room with access to the garden and a double bedroom plus a shower room. It’s been very tastefully decorated and is an extremely comfortable space. Outside space is freely available too with plenty of parking and it’s own patio accessed from the living room.

This is an exceptional house with plenty of options of how to use all the space on offer, both inside and out and with the quality of the finish, you won’t be disappointed.
