Kirton Drive, Crediton, EX17

Within Crediton town there are pockets of houses that aren’t obvious to many, even those that have lived in the town for years and this development is one of them. Built in the mid 2000’s, Saxon Close and Kirton Drive is a development of 2, 3 and 4 bedroom homes. The mix of styles provides something for everyone and has proved to be a popular destination for families over the past few years. Being off the main road and part of a no through road, there’s not much traffic noise whilst being in the town with schools and amenities on hand.

This property is pretty unique. It’s a detached coach house but one with a difference. Usually, coach houses are built as one floor, over garages but this one was designed and built with the overall plot in mind. In order to make the most of the surprising and private garden, it was built with a ground floor entrance, kitchen and WC before going upstairs for the remaining living space. Not only that but the current owners have extended on the ground floor and created a fantastic family kitchen/dining room on the ground floor (with underfloor heating to kitchen area), making this a real one off. The kitchen is well designed and has a huge amount of space for entertaining friends and family plus plenty of light from the skylight and glazing along the rear. With room for a dining table and chairs, this has made the ground floor the sociable heart of this home. Stairs lead up and into a great sized living room which could be zoned as required to provide additional study space but as it is, it’s a great room, again with plenty of light and being on the first floor adds a touch of difference to the norm. A clever reconfiguration of the bedrooms has allowed for 3 bedrooms and a family bathroom (with underfloor heating) which completes the first floor. There’s mains gas central heating and uPVC double glazing throughout.

It's not just the inside that is unique, there’s a beautiful garden too with various zones, it’s well stocked and gives year-round use with a low maintenance design. At the front, there’s off-road parking plus the garage with up and over door providing further parking or storage. There’s 2 further garages leased on peppercorn rents to other properties but there is no space for vehicles to be kept in front of them. There is also no power to these garages, they have been used for storage for many years.

For those commuting it has hassle free transport links into Exeter and for schooling a prestigious community college (Queen Elizabeth’s).
