About this property

Crediton 2.3 miles. Tucked away amidst the rolling hills of Devon's expansive countryside, on the outskirts of Crediton is this charming, detached property called The Thatched Cottage. Enjoying glorious views and original features peppered throughout, along with access to some of Devon's best sights, including the cathedral city of Exeter, The Thatched Cottage is a fabulous base for a family of ten getaway. As you arrive at the property, you will be welcomed by plenty of off-road parking spaces, where you can safely leave your vehicles before wandering inside to be welcomed by this delightsome abode. Head to the well-equipped, charming kitchen to whip up a hearty meal for the family with the ample appliances available. Tuck into these meals at the enticing dining room, a space with exposed beams adorning the ceiling and plenty of character dining furniture. After dinner, kick back and relax in the sitting room, where leather sofas offer you a seat in front of the TV or enjoy a fun game or two of pool or table tennis. End the day by freshening up any old clothing in the utility room, before moving across the ground floor to find one of the five fabulous bedrooms, all with ample storage facilities; this one comprising a double bed with a basin and access to an en-suite with shower and WC. Coming out of the ground floor bedroom ascend the first set of stairs to a landing where you will find a shower room with basin and WC and two more bedrooms: one double with double bed and one double with two single beds. Go back to the ground floor, through the kitchen and dining room to enter the main hall where you will find a second set of stairs leading to the remaining two bedrooms: a super king-size (zip/link, can be twin on request) and another double with double bed; all the rooms boasting views of the far-reaching fields beyond. Concluding the property's first floor is a fantastic family bathroom, where metro tiling embellishes the walls and relaxing soaks can be savoured in the bath with shower over. The cottage additionally hosts a cloakroom on the ground floor, for added convenience. Make your way outside to find a beautifully landscaped garden which houses ample seating areas for you to take advantage of, before dipping your toes in the bubbling hot tub; all the while being surrounded by an unbeatable panorama! Travel a short way into Crediton to access your amenities, which the town has an abundance of, from an array of eateries, including the popular Three Little Pigs pub, along with a range of well-stocked shops; the town additionally backs onto the esteemed Downes Crediton Golf Club and Shobrooke Park, so there's no need to venture far to find things to do. Travel a little further afield to come across the bustling city of Exeter, where a plethora of activities await, such as touring the stunning cathedral, hiking through Barley Valley Nature Reserve, and visiting Crealy Theme Park, to name a few! Spend some time on the coast and visit Exmouth, a port town with a stunning harbour, Blue Flag beach and access to the Devon Cliffs trails, along with the fantastic attractions of A la Ronde, Exmouth Museum and boat trips to Starcross. Make the most of your location and visit the vast Dartmoor National Park with its astounding sights and outdoor activities or embark on a hike along the South West Coastal Path to discover more beautiful beaches and coastal resorts. Choose The Thatched Cottage for a Devon adventure you'll never forget.

Crediton is a lively market town a short drive north-west of Exeter's cathedral city, in a region of Devon known as "Red Devon," so named because of the characteristic red soil that is of great agricultural quality and ideal for growing swedes. This is a rural part in Devon that is peaceful and unspoiled, with ruby cattle grazing among the rolling green meadows. There are several dispersed towns with warm inns, well-stocked farm stores, and inviting residents.
