Newton View, Newton St Cyres, EX5

Nestled between Exeter and Crediton, the pretty village of Newton St Cyres offers all the charm of country living with the benefit of excellent connections. With its welcoming community, well-regarded modern primary school, and the popular Beer Engine pub at its heart, the village combines convenience with character. Surrounded by rolling Devon countryside, yet with a train station and regular bus services for easy access into Crediton and Exeter, it’s a location that perfectly balances rural peace with day-to-day practicality.

Situated on the old primary school site, Newton View is a select development of just 8 detached homes, boasting a prime position on the edge of the village. Built by a well regarded local firm, these solid, block and brick built homes integrate traditional building with modern additions such as an air source heat pump powering the underfloor heating, solar panels and a battery, a mechanical ventilation and heat recovery system (MVHR) which exchanges warm/moist air leaving the house for warmed fresh air coming in providing a healthy environment inside. All homes will have a ten year LABC warranty too for peace of mind.

Plot two itself is a detached home of approx. 140sqm (1506sqft) plus the garage, making it a good sized family home. The layout offers a central hallway which leads to the kitchen/dining room at the back, opening onto the rear garden, making it a very sociable space. This opens into a great sized living room running front to back, again with doors out to the garden. Also on the ground floor is a useful separate study, a utility room and WC. On the first floor are the four bedrooms with the principle bedroom having it’s own ensuite shower room. Access to the three remaining bedroom and the family bathroom are from the central landing.  

Outside is off-road parking and a single garage and the garden to the rear will be a safe and sociable space to live and entertain with views over the adjoining countryside.

There are plenty of options to keep busy in and around the village. The Newton St Cyres Arboretum features a huge collection of trees and shrubs, is dog friendly, and a super place for a walk.
