The Oaks, Yeoford, EX17

Yeoford is a Mid-Devon village located between Crediton and Cheriton Bishop, well situated for access to both Crediton and to Exeter by road or rail with a station in the village. There’s a popular dining pub (The Duck) which also has a pop-up shop for essentials and there’s a primary school (bus service to Crediton for secondary). It’s a village surrounded by rolling countryside and there are miles of endless rural walks on the doorstep. Built in 1988, The Oaks is a cul-de-sac development of 3 and 4 bedroom homes which have good sized level plots.

No 23 benefits from a good sized plot which backs onto the fields at the rear, making for a wonderful rural outlook whilst being in the village. The house is link detached (being joined to the neighbour by the garage only) and is brick under a tiled roof. It’s a spacious family home with plenty of potential to improve if required. There’s a kitchen/dining room to the front and a good sized living room beyond which opens into a large conservatory. As one would expect, there’s a ground floor WC and to the rear of the garage is a very useful store for recycling etc and access to the rear of the garage too. On the first floor, there are 4 bedrooms (the 4th being used as a study) and a family bathroom.

To the front is ample off-road parking for 2/3 vehicles and of course, access to the garage. The rear garden is approx. 25m x 8m and level, backing onto fields so there’s room to extend if desired. There’s a couple of timber storage sheds and a lovely paved seating area between lawns. The gardens are certainly a real feature of the property albeit a bit of a blank canvass and it’s sure to keep those with the greenest of fingers occupied.

Please see the floorplan for room sizes.
