Station Road, Yeoford, EX17

Yeoford is a little hidden gem set amongst the rolling Mid Devon countryside. Only 10 minutes from both Crediton and the A30 at Chertion Bishop, it’s well positioned to give residents easy options for amenities whilst being in a traditional village. Not only that, but with a primary school (bus to secondary), a great gastro pub (The Duck) and a railway station linking to Exeter, it’s got huge appeal.

This mid-terraced period cottage also has a lot to offer which may not be immediately apparent on first glance, so a more detailed look is well worthwhile. To begin with, it’s not listed and whilst there’s plenty of character, a more modern rear extension has been built which creates a light, spacious kitchen/dining room, ideal for entertaining and opening out to the rear garden. The cosy living room, with its flagstone flooring, looks out to the front garden and the dividing hedge is a real draw for bird life which can be enjoyed from the comfort of the sofa and the warmth of the real fire. On the first floor are the two bedrooms which share a shower room. There’s LPG central heating (operates like mains gas with bottles delivered and installed on a contract when needed) and all windows are double glazed.

Outside to the front is a level front garden which sets it back from the village road. A small wall and gate give some privacy and safety to those with smaller children or pets and the pathway leads to the front door. On a visit you’ll notice the very busy hedgehog hotel too which brings plenty of pleasure watching them enjoy a stay. To the rear is a fenced rear garden with planted raised beds, shed and log store. It’s worth noting that although parking is freely available directly to the front of the house on the street (all neighbours are very respectful to one another), there is a right of way via the lane to the side of the row which leads to the back garden and a parking space. Currently, the parking space has been incorporated within the garden but the fence could be moved and parking re-established depending on a new owners’ needs.

This is a super cottage, in a great village and all without being isolated and in great condition.
