Churchill Drive, Crediton, EX17

Converted in 2020, this development re-invented the town's apartment scene.  Until then, the majority of converted buildings were on the High Street (over shops) and this development broke away from that by converting the whole building into a range of stylish apartments with 1, 2 or 3 bedroom options initially available. They provided the convenience of a modern apartment block with some character of a conversion and all completed to a good standard, with communal gardens and all with parking, it’s a great way to enjoy the town's amenities yet be somewhat tucked away.

This apartment is on the ground floor of building 4 and has its own private garden to the rear, making it a fantastic buy. It’s ideal for those starting out, or downsizing or even investment as it would rent very well. A communal entrance with secure intercom entry phones leads to the well cared for lobby straight to the front door. Upon entry, a central hall leads off to all rooms including the open plan living/dining/kitchen which is immaculate and well fitted with some integrated appliances. It has been well designed and well looked after, leaving nothing for a new owner to do – it’s a really lovely sociable space. The double bedroom is a good size and is served by a white suite bathroom. It has mains gas central heating and double glazing plus there is a designated parking space and additional visitors parking is available. The private garden (sole use of this flat) is accessed via the bedroom and is surprisingly large and offers great space for this type of property. The communal grounds can be used by residents too.

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.
