Property description

A delightful detached thatched cottage in the sought after hamlet of Upton Hellions in need of some cosmetic improvement but offering tremendous potential with gardens, parking, garage and views.

DESCRIPTION Located in the sought after hamlet of Upton Hellions, just 3 miles from Crediton and just over 10 miles from Exeter, this charming detached Grade II Listed cottage offers excellent potential for a new owner. The hamlet nestles in the rolling Devon countryside and being located next to the ancient church and on a no-through road, truly fulfills the Devon dream!

The property has been let for a number of years and although regular maintenance has been done, there will be a few jobs a new owner will do to further improve the cottage. The kitchen has been replaced, there is central heating throughout (electric boiler feeding radiators) and the thatch has been regularly looked after. Two of the three bedrooms, including the master and its dressing room, have beautiful views out over the countryside and on the ground floor, the utility and study/dining room have versatility depending on a new owners’ needs.

Outside is a generous garden with areas of lawn and paving. To the rear of the cottage are two stone built buildings (one open fronted) and various paved areas. The driveway brings you in off the country lane to a parking/turning area and a detached single garage.

CREDITON is an old Mid Devon market town with a wealth of history, being situated just 7.5 miles north-west of the Cathedral City of Exeter with the M5 motorway some 3 miles further on. The town is surrounded by unspoilt farmland in an area of great natural beauty. There is a regular daily bus service to Exeter plus trains every hour to Exeter and Barnstaple and a local town bus which covers most urban areas.  The town is most famous for its ancient parish church and for being the birthplace of St Boniface in 680 AD.  It has excellent schooling facilities at both senior and junior levels and a sports and leisure centre incorporating a superb swimming pool.  The town has an excellent selection of shops with a Morrisons and a large Tesco superstore/petrol filling station.

DIRECTIONS From Crediton leave the town on the A3072 towards Tiverton and cross the River Creedy at Creedy Bridge, taking the next left, signposted to Upton Hellions. Go into the hamlet and continue bearing left at the T-junction and Church Cottage will be found on the right, immediately beyond the church.
