Yeoford, Crediton, EX17

Situated between the Mid Devon villages of Yeoford and Hittisleigh is the small community of Binneford, just a handful of houses offering peace and quiet in a lesser known part of the county yet within easy reach of the A30 at Whiddon Down and with links to Crediton, it’s not too far off the beaten track.

Summer Corner is a small holding/equestrian property, ideal for those looking to live the country dream without winning the lottery. The house itself is a chalet style bungalow with two bedrooms and a bathroom on the first floor and two bedrooms and a shower room on the ground floor which offers flexible arrangements depending on the buyers. The farmhouse kitchen is the heart of the home with plenty of room to cook, eat and relax with a sitting area to one end. There’s a separate living room too with a wood burner (and an endless supply of logs from the land!). There’s also a separate dining room and then a utility room to the ground floor. It has oil fired central heating. Surrounding the house are gardens of approx. an acre with lawns, a small orchard and plenty of parking through the gated entrance. There’s a selection of barns including workshops and storage barns (with power and water via an outside tap) which also provide parking and machine storage areas. Next are the stables which are in two blocks providing four stables and additional tack and feed rooms plus a concrete yard. This is ideal for those with horses as it’s close to the house (without being on top of it) and has also been used for sheep handling. Behind the house is the Olympic menage which will be a fantastic bonus for some to offer year round, structured riding/exercise opportunities. All of the land is well connected with stoned access paths making walking/driving possible at all times of year. The remaining land is split mainly into grazing paddocks with a lower access lane giving access into each independently and so grazing rotation/limitation is easily accomplished. There’s a small woodland containing a pretty walk and the whole plot is hedged/fenced for livestock.

This is a great opportunity to live the rural dream in Mid Devon and with all that’s on offer here, will be the perfect next home for someone.
