North Street, Crediton, EX17

Just off of Crediton’s High Street is a small one way street called North Street. It’s a gateway to the pretty town square with it’s cafes and pub, a great social space and just a stones throw from this property. The house is a period property with a huge amount of potential and in a great central location which makes it an ideal base for those looking to be conveniently placed for the town and it’s amenities.

The house itself has a grand, 3 storey façade onto the street, double fronted and impressive, it’s clear there will be space on offer. What isn’t immediately apparent is the amount of additional space there is on offer to the rear and the potential that comes with it. The main property is over the 3 floors and the layout suited the current owners but may well be changed. There’s a central entrance hall, garden room and rear hall, a store or occasional bedroom and a WC, plus the garage. It’s worth noting that the garage has been used for vehicles in the past but it’s not a large garage. It’s ideal for smaller vehicles or storage or even potential access (see later). Also to complete the ground floor is a utility room and store. On the first floor is a large living/dining room, further store room and another WC, plus the kitchen. There’s an office too and this links to the outbuildings. On the second floor are 3 bedrooms and a bathroom.

Connected to the house (on the first floor currently), is a large L-shaped two storey building with a huge amount of potential. Whether these spaces are used as part of the house, or split for an annexe, income potential or even converted into flats (all subject to planning), the options are endless. It’s been thought about to convert the whole property into smaller units with access gained via the front door and utilise the garage as an access to the rear. Equally, when the house and buildings are used as one, the courtyard garden comes to life and the outbuildings make terrific studios or offices.

To have a house with so much room and with the options of the outbuildings, all within the town is quite unusual. The property does need updating but with so many options, having a blank canvass will be a great starting point. The house is of course liveable as it is too and has been a lovely family home for many years.
