5 bed detached bungalow for sale

Posbury, Crediton EX17

It's becoming increasingly difficult to find a home that offers genuine space, flexibility and the freedom to enjoy country living without sacrificing convenience. Set in approximately 1.25 acres between Crediton and Cheriton Bishop, this substantial detached bungalow does exactly that.

Surrounded by beautiful Mid Devon countryside, yet only around four miles from both Crediton and the A30, it enjoys the peace of a rural setting whilst remaining remarkably accessible for commuting, schools and everyday amenities.

The bungalow extends to provide generous family accommodation with a layout that's equally suited to growing families, multi-generational living or those simply wanting room to spread out. Large windows make the most of the far-reaching westerly views, filling the principal living spaces with natural light and allowing the afternoon and evening sun to pour in.

At the heart of the home is the spacious living and dining room, where a wood-burning stove creates a cosy focal point for winter evenings while the surrounding countryside provides a wonderful backdrop throughout the year. The modern kitchen is designed with family life in mind, offering plenty of workspace alongside room for informal dining around a central table. A generous utility room keeps the practical side of daily life tucked neatly away.

The principal bedroom enjoys its own ensuite shower room and opens directly onto the rear patio, creating a peaceful retreat overlooking the gardens. Four further bedrooms are served by the family bathroom, giving the property the flexibility to accommodate larger families, visiting guests or those needing dedicated home office space.

Outside, the property really comes into its own.

Electric gates open onto a generous driveway with extensive parking, whilst the gardens provide attractive lawns, seating areas and productive growing space. To the rear, a raised terrace is perfectly positioned to enjoy the far-reaching countryside views and spectacular evening sunsets.

Beyond the gardens lies an outstanding collection of outbuildings that gives this property enormous versatility. There is a detached double garage, stable block, insulated office with consent for business use, substantial agricultural barn, additional barns and a range of useful stores, providing space for everything from workshops and vehicle storage to livestock, hobbies or home-based businesses.

The land currently combines gardens, paddocks and a practical yard area, making it ideal for a smallholding or equestrian use. Equally, for buyers wanting additional grazing, the existing yard could easily be adapted to create larger paddock spaces, allowing the property to evolve around individual needs.

Properties capable of adapting to so many different lifestyles are increasingly rare. Whether you're searching for a spacious family home with room to grow, somewhere to keep animals, a place to work from home or simply a rural property with exceptional outbuildings, this is an opportunity that's difficult to replicate.

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.

Cheriton bishop offers something for everyone, situated as it is for hassle-free access to the A30 dual carriageway, for routes to Exeter (10 miles) or access to Okehampton and Cornwall. Similarly, Dartmoor is on the doorstep as is the magnificent Fingle Bridge for river walks overlooked by the imposing Castle Drogo. In the village itself, you’ll find a shop with Post Office, a parish church, primary school, and doctor’s surgery, nearby is the well-regarded The Old Thatch Inn, where you can snuggle up by the fire or dine in style.
