3 bed semi-detached house for sale

Hawthorn Road, Crediton EX17

A semi-detached 1950s home, coming to the market for the first time in nearly 50 years, with elevated views across the town of Crediton.

The property now requires updating but retains a number of original features that offer a strong starting point for improvement. Parquet flooring runs through most of the ground floor, and a beautiful stone fireplace provides a natural focal point in the main living space.

The ground floor is arranged with an open-plan, south facing lounge and dining room, with doors leading out to the patio and garden. The kitchen includes a working gas Aga and a range of units, along with a large separate pantry that still has its original slate shelving. To the rear, an additional reception room offers further flexibility, along with a storage room and a downstairs WC.

Upstairs, there are three double bedrooms, two of which sit at the front of the house and take advantage of the views, both with fitted wardrobes, also retaining fitted sinks. A further double bedroom is positioned to the rear, along with a family bathroom with bath and basin, and a separate WC. There are large built in wardrobes and another storage room on this floor.

Outside, the garden faces south and enjoys good natural light, with access through to Hawthorn Road. A courtyard area sits to the side of the house, offering additional outdoor space. There is also a garage-unusually finished with parquet flooring-along with a driveway accessed from Searle Street providing off-road parking.

Overall, this is a house with clear potential, offering generous room sizes, original features and the opportunity to update and rework the space to suit modern living.

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.

Directions : From Crediton High Street, take Searle Street and continue up the hill. Go past the turning for Hawthorn Road and just before the blue garage you will see a sigh for The Firs on the right, take this drive on foot and the property is the 2nd house in.
