Description

Properties offering this level of flexibility are exceptionally rare.

Set within the heart of the popular Exe Valley village of Stoke Canon, just ten minutes from Exeter, 1 Byways presents an opportunity unlike almost anything else currently available. Whether you're looking to accommodate several generations of the same family, create independent living for relatives, work from home or generate an income, this remarkable property offers a range of possibilities that are increasingly difficult to find.

Stoke Canon has long been regarded as one of the area's most desirable villages, offering a thriving community, excellent transport links and beautiful countryside, all whilst being within easy reach of Exeter, making it ideal for those seeking village life without sacrificing convenience.

The principal bungalow provides generous accommodation and is currently arranged with three bedrooms together with a separate study. The living accommodation is spacious and well balanced, whilst the overall layout offers scope for a new owner to adapt the space to suit their own lifestyle.

Adjoining the bungalow is a self-contained one-bedroom annexe with its own independent entrance. For those who require completely separate accommodation, it is ready to use as it stands. Equally, there is obvious potential to create an internal connection, allowing it to become part of the main bungalow and significantly increase the overall living space if preferred.

The surprises continue outside.

Occupying its own section of the grounds, complete with separate vehicular access, private parking, gardens and independent services, is a modern two-bedroom park home, approximately ten years old. Well presented throughout, it offers a comfortable living room opening onto a decked seating area, fitted kitchen, two bedrooms, an en-suite shower room and separate bathroom.

The opportunities this creates are extensive. Buyers may choose to accommodate extended family, create space for dependent relatives, provide independent living for older children or, subject to any necessary consents and regulations, explore opportunities for long-term rental or holiday letting income.

The grounds are another major feature. Extensive parking comfortably accommodates numerous vehicles, caravans, motorhomes or trailers, whilst a substantial range of timber garages, workshops and stores will appeal to hobbyists, tradespeople or anyone requiring significant storage or workspace.

The bungalow itself is of Woolaway construction, a form of non-standard construction. Buyers should be aware that mortgage availability may therefore be more limited than for traditionally constructed homes and are advised to discuss lending options with their chosen broker or lender at an early stage. Positively, the property has been externally insulated, benefits from uPVC double glazing and is served by central heating, improving both comfort and efficiency.

Properties offering this level of versatility, combined with such a convenient village location close to Exeter, are exceptionally difficult to find. Whether you're searching for a substantial family base, multi-generational living or a property capable of generating additional income, 1 Byways offers possibilities that few others can match.

Agent's Note: The property is of Woolaway (non-standard) construction. Buyers are advised to satisfy themselves regarding mortgage availability. The property also adjoins the railway line to the rear.

About Helmores, Crediton

111-112 High Street, Crediton, Devon, EX17 3LF
Industry affiliations:

Most people thinking about selling have the same three worries: how long will it take, will I get a good price, and how stressful is it going to be? Everything we do is built around those three things.

Getting the best price starts with how your property is presented and who sees it first. Every Helmores property gets professional photography, cinematic property film, interactive digital tours, and premium Rightmove placement as standard. For the right properties, we add aerial footage from our qualified drone pilots and a feature in our printed lifestyle magazine. Better presentation creates more interest. More interest creates competitive tension. Competitive tension gets better offers. In 2025, our vendors achieved 98.7% of asking price on average, compared to a national average of around 96%.

You also get your own login to our app, where you can see exactly what we're doing: every viewing booked, every piece of feedback, every offer, all your documents in one place. No chasing us for updates. No wondering what's happening. You can see it for yourself, in real time.

The part most agents don't talk about is what happens after you accept an offer. Nationally, around 30% of agreed sales fall through before completion. Ours is 14%. The difference is dedicated in-house sales progressors who manage every sale from offer to keys. They chase solicitors, coordinate surveys, and solve problems before they become deal-breakers. We also qualify every buyer before solicitors are instructed: identity, proof of funds, mortgage decision. You're not three months into a sale before discovering the buyer can't proceed.

We've been selling homes in Crediton and Mid Devon since 1699. If you're even starting to think about it, we're happy to have an honest conversation. No obligation. No follow-up calls you didn't ask for.
