High Street, The Mews Belle Court High Street, EX17

The Mews at Belle Court is a small development of apartments in a central town location. Tucked away off the main road, within seconds you’re in the centre of town with the shops, cafes and public transport all on hand. The properties were part new build, part conversion and were completed in about 2008. This property is on the second floor and forms part of the conversion of a former shoe factory, a strong part of Crediton’s industrial past. The character of the building can still be witnessed by the exposed king trusses in the living room, adding to the height of the ceilings and allowing the light to flood the room. As one would expect, there’s the usual mains services including gas, electric, water and broadband and the property is managed by Whitton and Laing who ensure the maintenance is up to date. The communal areas are in good order and clearly looked after.

The apartment itself is accessed from the first floor with an internal staircase leading to the main living spaces on the second floor. There is a private landing which leads to the double bedroom with town views, the bathroom with a white suite and shower over the bath and then to the open plan living spaces. There’s a well fitted kitchen to one end and the appliances are available by separate negotiation should they be wanted. There are plenty of large windows and the aforementioned vaulted ceilings really add to the feeling of space.

Outside, the property is accessed across the courtyard of the development which is useable by the residents (shared). There isn’t any off-road parking but directly behind is a car park owned by a local business and spaces are often available to rent. There is also a town car park and on street parking locally is unrestricted in many parts.

Please see the floorplan for room sizes.

CREDITON : An ancient market town, with a contemporary feel – only a short, 20-minute drive NW from the city of Exeter. Set in the Vale of the River Creedy, amongst gentle, rolling hills and verdant pastures. Sincerely picture postcard. Once the capital of Devon, Crediton is famed for its inspiring sandstone church and for being the birthplace of Saint Boniface in 680 AD. Its high street is a vibrant place, abuzz with trade –artisan coffee shops, roaring pubs, a farmers’ market and bakeries, jam-packed with mouthwatering delights. For those commuting it has hassle free transport links into Exeter and for schooling a prestigious community college (Queen Elizabeth’s). In addition, it boasts a brilliant gym & leisure centre for New Year’s resolutions, two supermarkets for the weekly shop and a trading estate for any practical needs. All neatly held in a single valley.
