54 Park Street, Crediton, EX17

The Old Bakery was once just that. Those local (and old enough) to remember will have fond memories of Baker Heal which was a staple of the town for years. Later, the bakery was used for many years as a residential care home, and now planning is being sought to return it to a residential dwelling (see later). It’s end of terraced and well positioned in a slightly elevated position within the town, ideal for the town centre and its amenities, plus schools and public transport. Rarely for houses so central, there’s a large parking area and gardens to match so it does fit the bill for space and convenience.

The layout gives plenty of options for a new owner. The ground floor offers a dining room/study/snug and a large living room. There’s a kitchen/diner too which opens out into the sun room on the back. There’s a wet room to complete the ground floor. Central stairs lead to the first floor where there are four bedrooms, two bathrooms and a small kitchenette. There is a second “front” door which leads to a second staircase and this, combined with the kitchenette, one bedroom and a shower room, can be closed off and used as an annexe. So really it’s either a four bed with three baths, or a three bed with two baths and a one bed, one bath annexe!

Outside, the ample driveway offers plenty of parking and room for a garage or shed (stp) and then a gate leads to the rear garden. Mainly level and lawned, there are also paved seating areas and this links to the sun room. There’s a block built shed (half owned by this property) giving additional storage or scope for improvement.

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.
