East Street, Crediton, EX17

Apartments usually fall into two categories, purpose built or conversions. With conversions, you tend to get more character, often larger rooms and a few quirks that you may not get in a more modern, purpose built setup. That’s certainly the case here! Well located in the town and within easy reach of public transport to Exeter, along with schools, shops and services, the building was converted in 2008 and is just 5 properties. Unusually, this one has the entire ground floor and with its double fronted façade and its own front door, you know it’s something a little less ordinary. It feels much more like your own place rather than having to access through a communal area, yet it benefits from shared maintenance costs and a shared rear courtyard with its own back door.

Internally, the property presents extremely well. From first entry, the high ceilings give a hint to what’s to come. There’s an open, light (south facing) living room with its feature wall and wide opening to the kitchen/dining area making it a social space. The two double bedrooms are a good size and the central family bathroom is well positioned for the bedrooms and living spaces. The heating has a Hive control system and a new boiler was fitted in June 2024 and has just been serviced.

There is the shared yard at the rear, with bin storage and access but no private garden or parking.

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.
