Sutton Orchard, Crediton, EX17

The Development: Sutton Orchard is a collection of five contemporary detached homes near Newbuildings, Crediton. Set in spacious grounds, the development combines private gardens with shared access to wildflower grassland, native woodland and a wildlife pond.

Larch cladding, standing-seam roofs and extensive glazing give the properties a distinctive architectural character, complemented by generous interiors and a comprehensive energy specification.

The Accommodation: Designed around family life, the homes balance sociable living areas with separate spaces for work and relaxation. Vaulted entrance halls, oak staircases and galleried landings introduce the accommodation, while south-facing principal living spaces open onto terraces and gardens.

The kitchen and dining area forms the centre of each home, complemented by an informal sitting area, a separate drawing room and a dedicated study. Boot room, pantry and laundry areas provide practical support to the main accommodation.

Four bedrooms offer space for family and guests. The principal suite includes a dressing area and en suite bathroom, with a guest en suite and family bathroom serving the remaining accommodation.

Specification and Energy Performance: Solid wood Shaker kitchens feature quartz worktops, generous islands and integrated appliances, including a wine cooler. Engineered oak flooring, Mandarin Stone porcelain tiles and carefully selected sanitaryware complete the interiors.

Each home has an EPC A rating, with solar panels, battery storage, an air source heat pump, high-performance triple glazing and an electric vehicle charging point. Underfloor heating serves the ground floor, excluding the pantry, and the first-floor bathrooms. Fibre broadband provision supports home working.

Gardens and Grounds: Private gardens and terraces provide space for outdoor dining and recreation, with a garage and driveway parking completing the individual plots. Shared grassland, woodland and a wildlife pond contribute to the development’s spacious rural setting.

The Pippin also offers an additional paddock of approximately four acres, providing a substantial area of land for buyers seeking more outdoor space.
