Property description

Fine individual 1920’s detached house set in large mature gardens and grounds to about 1 acre, panoramic Devon views, huge family accommodation to about 3850sq ft including showpiece Georgian style conservatory with raised lantern roof, substantial range of buildings – possibly one of Crediton’s finest residences!

Mount Jocelyn is a fine individual 1920’s detached house, beautifully located on the extreme outskirts of the town in an elevated location, with stunning views over the town and rolling Devon countryside beyond.  The town centre is within walking distance,

The house was extensively remodelled and extended about 10 years ago, and now offers extremely spacious family accommodation to about 3850sq ft including a huge showpiece Georgian style conservatory with a raised lantern roof.  The fully fitted kitchen is bespoke and hand built from solid timber, with polished granite worktops, an Aga, and an attractively shaped central island unit.  In all there are 5 bedrooms all of which face south and take full advantage of the views.  The large reception hallway is approached through a conservatory entrance which provides the formal entrance to the house.  In addition there are 3 fine reception rooms, a study, utility, 2 shower rooms, a family bathroom, and a cloakroom.   It benefits from uPVC double glazing throughout, and mains gas central heating (underfloor to the ground floor and conventional radiators to the first floor).

The house is set in large mature landscaped grounds in all extending to about 1 acre.  The gardens are superbly maintained, with sweeping expanses of lawn, numerous patios, substantial areas of colourful planting, and several mature trees including an orchard.  To the north side of the house is a huge tarmac parking area which could easily accommodate at least 15 cars.  There are numerous buildings, including a substantial corner triple bay garage/store with high roller shutter doors – ideal for anyone with a classic car collection.

The present owners are retaining a smaller area of land to the west of the house with the intention of building 2 high quality contemporary detached houses.

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 the centre of Crediton turn off the High Street into Searle Street.  At the top of the hill turn left into Peoples Park Road, and then first right into Alexandra Road.  At the end of this road turn left into Higher Road.  The entrance to Mount Jocelyn will be seen on the left after about 0.2 miles.
