2 Bedroom Detached House for sale in Crediton

Situated just off the A377 between Crediton and Copplestone is the small hamlet of Knowle, known for its easy access and pretty houses, it’s a popular destination for many for being full of character without being isolated down miles of county lanes. Butterchurn Cottage is set back from the road in its own gardens and borders farmland to the rear. It’s a real one off. While it’s only 2 bedrooms, the master bedroom could be sub-divided to create a 3rd but for the right buyers, the large first floor bedroom with the ensuite would work well. The house is Grade II listed and has mains services including water, electric, broadband and gas plus a modern treatment plant for the waste. Built of cob with a thatched roof, it’s typical of a traditional Devon home.
The layout of the property makes the most of the larger ground floor space on offer with a useful entrance porch leading into the main living space, a large room with a stunning inglenook fireplace that is the focus of the room. There’s plenty of room for sofas and table and chairs for flexibility in the layout. There’s a kitchen across the rear which is well fitted and there’s a door to the garden. The second bedroom is also on the ground floor with an additional walk in store/study area. To complete the ground floor is a utility room and WC. On the first floor is the main bedroom, a great room with plenty of space and from here, there is a door to the ensuite. It’s worth noting that a corridor could be installed to separate the bedroom from the bathroom should it be preferred (stp).
Outside, from the road, access is gained via electric gates which add to the privacy and security of the property. There’s off-road parking for 3/4 vehicles and an outbuilding (former garage) which is now a store and home office/studio, ideal for working from home with power and light. The gardens are multi level with various seating areas, ponds and well stocked beds with an abundance of plants and shrubs.
Agents Note: There is a track with access to the adjoining field which runs between the house and outbuilding. Although not often used, it isn’t part of the ownership of Butterchurn Cottage.
Please see the floorplan for room sizes.

COPPLESTONE is a 5-minute drive west of Crediton on the A377, a main route into the City of Exeter. A stone’s throw to the southwest is Dartmoor National Park, renowned for its invigorating walks and sublime scenery. Previously a traditional farming hamlet, Copplestone has grown over the years, and now offers a fantastic selection of new-build, fully modern homes. This, coupled with its own primary school and locality to Queen Elizabeth’s Community College in Crediton, makes it perfect for families moving to Devon. The village has a strong camaraderie between residents, with a local church holding many events. There is a 3m carved granite cross, found in the village centre of Saxon origin and steeped in mythology. There is also a shop/post office for convenience, and regular transport links (bus and train) towards Exeter, North Devon and Okehampton.
