There is no doubt that the position of this house will be a draw for many. Being the last house in the village, it has the most stunning views over the Mid Devon countryside with views from the front and back as far as the eye can see. As well as the views, it is adjacent to open farmland and of course the plot, nearly an acre is plenty of room for even those with the greenest of fingers. 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.
The current owners were sold on their first visit when they bought a few years ago, it was the village edge location, waking up to those views and having space inside and out that attracted them. 12 years later and there has been plenty of work done to even further improve the house, which now provides extremely comfortable and quality accommodation. Its clear from arrival that the house is well-maintained and it continues throughout. Originally, the house could have easily had four upstairs bedrooms but the configuration as 3 doubles makes it feel even larger. The master bedroom has its own dressing room and ensuite, making a suite and enjoying those rural views. The remaining bedrooms share the modern family bathroom. On the ground floor, entry to the hallway then leads to a stylish living room with bay window, a light room in the summer or cosy in the winter, it suits all seasons. Mirroring on the front is a study but this could be utilised as a 4th bedroom, indeed with a small re-configuration, the ground floor WC/utility could be used as an ensuite to this room if required in the future. The kitchen is light and spacious and it opens into the dining area, which in turn opens into the garden room. A super place to sit and watch the wildlife and take in those views, whilst remaining connected to the rest of the home. The aforementioned utility room and WC make useful additions to the ground floor space.
Outside, the entrance from the country lane is gated and provides access to the gravelled parking area and double garage with electric door. Theres room for plenty of cars and more parking for a motorhome or caravan could be created if required. The garden extends beyond the width of the plot and is just under 1 acre in total. The garden speaks for itself, lawns, trees, borders, theres room to do it all, or simply sit and enjoy, knowing its your slice of Devon.
Agents Note: In the garden is a disused borehole which the neighbouring farm has the right to draw water.

What Other Related Technologies Does PropertyHeads Use, and Why?
Tracking Pixels: Our advertising partners may use tracking pixels or similar technology to measure the success of the sponsored posts or other advertising products they use. A “tracking pixel” (also sometimes called web beacon, or clear GIF) is a tiny piece of code, invisible to the user, placed on a webpage or in an email and used in combination with a cookie, to link a given activity or impression back to the user; the advertiser includes it in its content so it can measure whether our members interact with that content (for example, by clicking to view an offer). We may set our own tracking pixel on an advertiser’s website so we can measure whether our members found the advertiser’s content effective or interesting, by tracking whether the sponsored post prompted members to take advantage of the advertised offer. This information helps us assess whether sponsored posts and other advertising offers are relevant and interesting to our members and successful for the advertiser.
