Dean Street, Howards Court Dean Street, EX17

Dean Street is home to some of the towns’ oldest properties. Situated opposite the large parish church, it’s ideally situated for the town and it’s amenities and contains a range of cottages and houses, most still retaining much of their original character and charm. Howards Court is a small cobbled courtyard which contains 3 properties, tucked away through a gated entrance, it’s a hidden gem within the town. It’s certainly compact but for those looking for character and location on a budget, this could be the perfect answer. With gas central heating and hot water (modern boiler) and A banded for council tax, it’s an efficient place to run, an ideal home or lock up and go base. The house would benefit from some updating having been successfully let for the past few years (another option for a purchaser) but wouldn’t take a great deal to get it back to it’s former glory. The layout is open plan on the ground floor with a kitchen at one end and living space at the other. There’s space and plumbing for a washing machine and the boiler is housed in a cupboard. The stairs rise to the first floor with a double bedroom and ensuite bathroom.

Outside, there is a small area of outside space to the side which has been used by 1 Howards Court but is technically shared land, as is the front courtyard but by agreement with the neighbours, there’s room for some pots, a washing line and bins etc. There is no allocated parking but parking is available on street nearby (no permits required). For viewings, please leave a few minutes to get parked and walk to the property.

CREDITON is a vibrant market town with a bustling high street full of independent shops, eateries, and pubs. In recent years a diverse arts scene has grown to include all manner of mediums, with the performing arts making use of the town’s market square where, in the summer months, a range of activities take place. The market square is also home to the town’s twice-monthly farmer’s market. The town has an equally significant past. It was originally the first Bishopric in Devon and the imposing Parish Church of The Holy Cross now stands where once stood Devon’s first Saxon cathedral (909-1050AD). It is also the birthplace of Saint Boniface, one of the founding fathers of the Christian church in Europe. Easily commutable to Exeter and with two primary schools, a secondary school with sixth form as well as a wide range of necessary amenities, it’s clear why the town is a firm favourite with locals and relocators alike.
