Monks View, Zeal Monachorum, EX17

Situated just outside of the pretty Mid Devon village of Zeal Monachorum (Zeal Mon-a-cor-um) is a small development of just 5 homes, completed to a high standard by a local developer in 2023/24. The houses have been well designed with the focus on providing quality homes that fit well in the environment meaning that each home enjoys views over the adjoining countryside, has great levels of insulation and an eye on sustainability with private water treatment, air source heat pumps and EV charging. It’s worth noting that this home carries the remainder of the 10 year structural warranty (ICW).

Oak Tree House (approx. 1771 sqft) is a farmhouse style home with generous living spaces and a light and airy feel throughout with plenty of glass to take in the views. The layout is great with a large living room linked to the dining room which in turn leads to the farmhouse style kitchen. There’s a great utility and WC too plus a store off the entrance porch – ideal for country living. On the first floor are 4 double bedrooms with an en-suite to the principal bedroom and a family bathroom, all leading off a central landing.

Outside is off-road parking for 2 vehicles along with an EV charge point. The garden has a great paved seating area to take in the rural vista and the remainder of the garden is lawned and can be fine-tuned by a new owner to suit their requirements.

Zeal Monachorum is situated 8 miles northwest of Crediton, hidden within vast and tumultuous farmlands. Its name is of Latin origin ‘Cella Monachorum’– meaning ‘Cell of the Monks’. Like many Devon villages Zeal is home to a number of period properties, and buildings that have a strict conservation status – preserving the traditional beauty expected from rural settlements. Its church is old (understatement) (1235, late Saxon) and in its yard is a yew tree rumoured to have experienced a 1000 birthdays or more (not that anyone celebrates). The village is also known for having the most family friendly inn around, ‘The Waie Inn’ – offering great food & drink, both outdoor and indoor children’s play areas, a heated swimming pool, skittle alley, large function rooms (for weddings, parties etc), an astro turf pitch, squash courts, fishing lake and B&B rooms
