Hollacombe, Crediton, EX17

Set right in the middle of Devon’s rolling hills is the little known hamlet of Hollacombe, just a couple of miles outside of Crediton, this beautiful and unspoilt area is a real hidden gem. The villages of Coleford, Yeoford and Copplestone are only a stone’s throw too, the latter two with train stations, so although it’s quiet, it’s not isolated, just a perfect retreat from busy life. Leaving Crediton via Cromwells Cutting is an experience in itself and one that never seems to get old, and soon, turning off down a private lane, you’ll find yourself in this tranquil semi-rural setting.

 

The property was converted in 2009 by local developers Drew and Sons and it’s since undergone further upgrades and improvements. It’s a comfortable home with gas central heating (LPG) and double glazing, quality fittings and a flexible layout with three bedrooms on the first floor (master ensuite) and then a fourth bedroom and w/c with integrated bidet on the ground floor. We love the options that are open to how this home is used! At the rear is a dedicated study/hobby room with side access and there’s a good sized utility room too, perfect for keeping the white goods out of sight! But it’s at the front that this barn really connects with it’s rural environment. The open plan living room opens onto the south facing gardens, flooding it with light, yet cosy in the winter. An opening leads through to the stylish, modern kitchen with its island and solid surfaces creates an excellent flow between the two but with distinct zones.

 

Outside, the private lane in from the country lane leads to just 4 properties. The garden to No.2 lies to the south so gets plenty of sunlight. There’s off-road parking for two vehicles (plus a small car or trailer behind the house) and the front garden is level and well stocked. There’s gorgeous seating areas with a vine covered pergola adding shade and character. There’s lawn too and the whole garden is a delightful place to sit. There’s access via the side to get to the rear of the property where there’s storage, the additional parking and of course access for maintenance.

 

A surprisingly spacious barn conversion with a south facing garden, in a wonderful semi-rural location just minutes from town!

CREDITON is a vibrant market town with a bustling high street full of independent shops, eateries, and pubs. In recent years a diverse arts scene has grown to include all manner of mediums, with the performing arts making use of the town’s market square where, in the summer months, a range of activities take place. The market square is also home to the town’s twice-monthly farmer’s market. The town has an equally significant past. It was originally the first Bishopric in Devon and the imposing Parish Church of The Holy Cross now stands where once stood Devon’s first Saxon cathedral (909-1050AD). It is also the birthplace of Saint Boniface, one of the founding fathers of the Christian church in Europe. Easily commutable to Exeter and with two primary schools, a secondary school with sixth form as well as a wide range of necessary amenities, it’s clear why the town is a firm favourite with locals and relocators alike.
