Nestled into an established conservation area within the former gardens of a large Georgian home, this stunning contemporary property will not disappoint. From the sweeping driveway to the landscaped gardens and decades old trees that create a wonderful private setting for this home. One of just two homes built here in 2020 by a local developer to a design by local (and award winning) architect Annie Martin, the property brings to life the original design that was imagined at the very start. The Western Red cedar cladding, the aluminium hybrid windows, the large porcelain tiles that connect the open plan living spaces with the garden, it’s a property where attention to detail is high on the agenda.

The contemporary design and use of natural materials, plus the hybrid windows and doors means not only a low maintenance exterior but also an energy efficient home too. With a combination of mains gas central heating which runs the underfloor heating throughout, solar thermal hot water (utilising the suns’ energy to raise the ambient hot water temperature), and a MHRV (mechanical heat recovery and ventilation) system to create air flow and filtered fresh air, it’s got all bases covered. The home is smart too with the central heating controlled from your mobile device, there’s cat 6 cabling to all rooms for high-speed connections and the living room is wired for a home cinema set up.

From the front door you are welcomed with a light spacious hall with a double height opening over the lower ground floor and a bespoke oak staircase with glass balustrades. The 4 double bedrooms are all on the entry level and designed so all of them enjoy the south facing views over the gardens and over the rooftops to the surrounding countryside. The two principal bedrooms have their own en-suite shower rooms and a stunning family bathroom with bath and separate shower can be utilised by the other bedrooms. All of the bathrooms have tiled floors, unique designs and quality fittings, creating a luxurious feeling in each. Down the stairs and you’re wowed by the amount of light through the enormous sliding doors to the garden. At one end is a kitchen/breakfast room with sleek built in cabinets and AEG appliances including three ovens and a warming tray, dishwasher, induction hob with downdraft extraction and an inset sink into the solid quartz worktops. There’s a utility room with matching cabinets and quartz tops, another sink and plumbing for appliances. A plant room houses the myriad of technology that keeps the house warm and fresh and a spacious ground floor WC is centrally positioned. The remainder of this floor is used as a living/dining room, again with large sliding doors and although it is open plan, the use of colour and furniture help to create a cosy yet social layout. There are large format porcelain tiles throughout this floor to create continuity and even further enhance the feeling of light. When opened, the large doors link the living spaces to the garden with matching tiled terrace along the entire south side.

One of the additional benefits of the house is that it can’t be seen from the road, built within the gardens of a large Georgian house, the established trees and sweeping drive (shared with the original house and one neighbour) give privacy. As the driveway opens up you catch a glimpse of the styling and design over the hedge but there’s privacy even at this stage. To the north side is parking for a number of vehicles and a modern, in keeping (cedar clad) insulated office/store with lighting and heating provides an additional space away from the home. There’s an attached car port too and the driveway gives access to the front door. A gate to the side allow access to the rear garden which has recently been professionally landscaped. With a combination of natural hedging, fencing and even a historic cob wall, the garden is secure and now offers superb useable space with an abundance of colour. The terrace itself has planted borders and water features and is an amazing space to enjoy those balmy summer evenings with the fire pit and the sound of water. The lawns have been well designed to maximise the space and further planting with mains lighting and irrigation is all in place.

There is a useful timber shed and a further area of wild garden to attract and maintain the local wildlife.

This is a truly stunning home and rare for this area to have this style and quality in such an established location.

CREDITON : An ancient market town, with a contemporary feel – only a short, 20-minute drive NW from the city of Exeter. Set in the Vale of the River Creedy, amongst gentle, rolling hills and verdant pastures. Sincerely picture postcard. Once the capital of Devon, Crediton is famed for its inspiring sandstone church and for being the birthplace of Saint Boniface in 680 AD. Its high street is a vibrant place, abuzz with trade –artisan coffee shops, roaring pubs, a farmers’ market and bakeries, jam-packed with mouthwatering delights. For those commuting it has hassle free transport links into Exeter and for schooling a prestigious community college (Queen Elizabeth’s) – with an Ofsted “outstanding” sixth form. In addition, it boasts a brilliant gym & leisure centre for New Year’s resolutions, two supermarkets for the weekly shop and a trading estate for any practical needs. All neatly held in a single valley.

EXETER is the cathedral city and capital city of Devon. The city is on the River Exe about 37 miles (60 km) northeast of Plymouth and 70 miles (110 km) southwest of Bristol. Exeter was the most south-westerly Roman fortified settlement in Britain. Exeter Cathedral was founded in the mid-11th century. During the late 19th century, Exeter became an affluent centre for the wool trade. After the Second World War, much of the city centre was rebuilt and is now considered to be a centre for modern business and tourism in Devon and Cornwall. Famed for its world class University.
