SELLER INSIGHT
From the moment we arrived, Park House felt like a true home.
With its high ceilings, perfect for grand Christmas trees and generous rooms, it has always been a place where generations could come together. Big family gatherings, summer garden parties, and quiet winter evenings by the fire, it’s a house that holds memories and makes space for new ones.
There’s room for everything and everyone—whether you’re hosting, working from home (the broadband has supported us all!), or simply enjoying the views. The kids spent endless hours in the swimming pool, attic, and playhouse, while we made the most of the big garden for growing vegetables and fruit, keeping chickens, and watching wildlife. We’ve had hedgehogs, bats, birds, and even slowworms.
The parking easily holds 12 or more cars, which made it so easy when family and friends came to stay. Day to day, it’s been a peaceful, grounded place to live, nestled in a proper community. Just a two-minute walk takes you to the village shop with post office and a pub. The primary school is excellent, and secondary options nearby gave us plenty of choice.
For practical needs and entertainment, Crediton’s High Street offers everything from shops and cafés to a vibrant arts centre, library, and bookshop. Exeter is an easy hop away by train—there’s even free parking at the station—and Dartmoor, Exmoor, and the coast are all within easy reach for weekends and walks straight from the front door.”*
