Crediton, EX17

Haske Farm Cottage sits in one of those positions that’s increasingly hard to find, surrounded by open countryside, with no near neighbours, yet only around five minutes from Crediton.

Originally a farm worker’s cottage, the property has evolved over time, incorporating the adjoining barn to create a home that now offers flexible and comfortable accommodation full of character. Despite the peaceful setting, the location remains hugely practical, with the town close at hand and walks through Shobrooke Park and the surrounding countryside almost on the doorstep.

Inside, the cottage has a warm and welcoming feel throughout. The kitchen is particularly well fitted, offering ample workspace and storage along with a range cooker and integrated fridge/freezer that sits neatly within the units. There is also a separate dining room on the ground floor, ideal for everyday use or entertaining.

The layout is more flexible than you might first expect, with two staircases and accommodation arranged over two floors. The main living space sits on the first floor, taking advantage of the outlook over the surrounding countryside, with doors opening onto a decked bridge leading directly into the garden. Two woodburners add to the character and help keep the cottage cosy during the winter months.

In total there are three bedrooms and two bathrooms, making the property suitable for a range of buyers, whether as a main home or countryside retreat.

Outside, the gardens wrap around three sides of the cottage and have clearly been carefully enjoyed over the years. There are lawns, established planted beds and a number of tucked away seating areas creating different spaces to enjoy throughout the day. A couple of useful sheds provide storage, while across the lane there is off-road parking and a detached double garage.

Properties like this rarely come to the market so close to Crediton, offering the balance of character, privacy and countryside living without feeling isolated.

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.
