Black Dog, Crediton, EX17

Surrounded by open countryside and set within just under 8 acres of level pasture, this impressive home offers generous living space, excellent equestrian or smallholding potential and a range of versatile outbuildings. Thoughtfully designed and well maintained throughout, it combines the feel of a traditional country house with the practicality needed for modern family life.

The heart of the home is the spacious farmhouse kitchen and dining room, where a central island creates a natural gathering point. Wooden shaker-style units are paired with granite-effect worktops, while the oil-fired black Aga sits alongside a Neff eye-level oven and microwave, a four-ring ceramic hob, integrated dishwasher and fridge. There are patio doors out to the front patio and marble flooring runs through the kitchen, dining area and hallway, adding to the sense of quality and space.

The lounge is warm and welcoming, with engineered oak flooring, original heavy beams and a wood-burning stove set within a feature fireplace. It's a room made for relaxing, with plenty of space for family life or entertaining.

A practical utility room provides additional storage, shaker-style units, a sink, space for a washing machine, tumble dryer and large fridge-freezer, along with access to the side. A downstairs WC completes the ground floor. Underfloor heating runs throughout this level, while radiators serve the first floor.

Upstairs, a spacious landing includes an airing cupboard and useful storage. The large principal bedroom is particularly impressive, enjoying three windows that frame views across the surrounding countryside and ensure the room is filled with natural light, there is a spacious ensuite bathroom with large shower enclosure. Three further double bedrooms provide flexible accommodation, served by a stylish family bathroom with a roll-top bath, large shower enclosure and distinctive feature basin.

Outside, the property continues to impress. A substantial L-shaped timber outbuilding includes open garaging, an enclosed garage, greenhouse and a hobby room or garden office complete with its own WC and wash basin, making it an ideal workspace or studio. Originally built as a stable block, this building has scope to return for that use, or use as it’s been converted.

The land extends to just under 8 acres, divided into two level paddocks that are well suited to horses, livestock or simply enjoying the space and countryside setting. The fields enjoy excellent natural light throughout the day and offer plenty of opportunities for those looking to embrace a rural lifestyle.

The driveway is owned as part of the property title and serves two neighbouring homes, with shared maintenance arrangements in place. The property also benefits from timber double-glazed windows, mains water, a private septic tank and oil-fired central heating with underfloor heating to the ground floor.

This is a rare opportunity to enjoy a well-equipped country home with substantial land, versatile outbuildings and the space to adapt to a wide range of lifestyles, whether you're keeping horses, running a smallholding or simply looking for room to breathe.
