4 bedroom detached house for sale

Situated on the edge of the small village of Down St Mary, this detached family home has some beautiful views over the Mid Devon countryside. The village sits atop a hill, giving it the benefit of the views and light but without being isolated. There is a regular train service within a mile, plus a pub and a choice of village shops are within a short drive. The town of Crediton is approx. 5 miles away and has all of the usual amenities and Exeter is another 7 miles further on. Worth noting is the mains gas that Down St Mary benefits from, unlike many of the local villages.

Marika is a one off build and occupies a generous plot with ample parking and a large rear garden. The whole property is a blank canvass and just waiting for someone to move in and make it home. With the mains gas central heating powering underfloor heating on the ground floor, the layout is comfortable with a good-sized living/dining room running front to back with doors opening out onto the rear garden. There’s a well fitted kitchen with integrated appliances and an essential ground floor WC can be found off the main entrance hallway. We love the covered rear porch (with underfloor heating) to give access to the garage and (subject to permissions) this could be incorporated into part of the house and form a utility room quite easily. The garage could also be converted into a living space if desired as there’s already the underfloor heating installed in here too! On the first floor are the four bedrooms, all taking in those wonderful rural views and these are served by a family bathroom (bath and separate shower) as well as a second shower room off the landing.

Outside is ample off-road parking to the front with plenty of space for larger vehicles or 3/4 cars. This leads to the integral garage. There’s access to the side and the rear garden is a great size with plenty of space to play or grow your own produce. Currently, the generous garden has a decked seating area to the rear of the house with modern fencing and some shrubs and small trees. It’s a great basis from which to create a suitable garden, whatever your interests maybe. The rural views can be enjoyed from the garden and decking.
