Deep Lane, Crediton, EX17

Set just off Deep Lane in the market town of Crediton and approached by a sweeping gravel driveway, The Mews is a distinctive stone-fronted detached home set within wonderfully mature gardens of just under half an acre. Despite the peaceful setting amongst established trees and shrubs, the property sits remarkably close to the centre of Crediton, making it unusually convenient for a house of this character and setting.

Historically, the property is understood to have formed part of the coach house buildings serving Tower House, a substantial villa that once stood on this land before the surrounding area was redeveloped in the 1970s to create the Tower Gardens neighbourhood. Today, The Mews remains as an individual home with a sense of privacy and space that is increasingly rare so close to town.

Inside, the house has the feel and proportions typical of period properties, beginning with a large and welcoming entrance hall that sets the tone for the rest of the accommodation. The first floor  living room opens directly onto a generous garden terrace, creating a natural connection between the house and its gardens. On the ground floor, the kitchen/dining dining room forms the everyday hub of the home, supported by the all important utility room and ground floor WC. There is also a separate study, ideal for working from home or quiet reading space.

Upstairs there are four bedrooms, giving the house flexibility for family life, guests or additional workspace. The property has clearly been well cared for over the years, although some buyers may choose to update certain areas to suit their own style. The benefit of this is the opportunity to shape the house exactly how you would like it, while working with the generous space and established setting already in place.

The attached garage provides excellent storage and parking, while also offering potential to incorporate additional living space into the house, subject to the usual permissions. Outside, the gardens are a defining feature of the property. Extending to just under half an acre, they include lawns, terraces and established planting that provide privacy and colour throughout the seasons. A greenhouse abuts the garage plus there is a garden shed.

Altogether, The Mews offers a rare opportunity to own a detached period home within substantial gardens, all within easy reach of Crediton’s shops, schools and amenities. It is a property that combines character, space and convenience in a way that is seldom available so close to the town centre.

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.
