DESCRIPTION

Arden House is an elegant detached Edwardian house situated just off the centre of Crediton in an elevated position, with lovely views over the town and countryside beyond – especially from the first and second floors.

The property was built in 1903 by local builders Berry & Vincent, and has many interesting and unique character features

including original plaster coving, ornate ceiling mouldings, timber wall panelling, and fine period fireplaces etc. The present owners have spent a considerable time modernising the property as one can see from the photos. The house had major refurbishment in 2005/2006 which included much work for which there are guarantees, re-roofing in about 2010, and in very recent years improvements include installation of uPVC double glazing (including \sash windows), and new plumbing, including a new bathroom and shower room on the first floor.

The accommodation is extremely spacious, elegant, and has much versatility with 9 bedrooms extending over three floor levels. There are a wide variety of possible uses from a large family home, to a hotel or bed and breakfast etc and it would be relatively straight forward to create an annexe on the first floor of course all subject to the necessary permissions.

There is a mixture of period and contemporary fittings which blend well with the many original features. The unusual double corner bays contain the living room, master bedroom, and 2nd floor bedroom (from where there are some lovely views), and there is an elegant wide staircase with shallow treads and original turned and carved balustrade (plus a secondary former servants staircase).

n Proceed towards the lower end of the High Street into Union Road n The driveway for Arden House is located on the right, just above the Parish Church

CREDITON: An ancient market town, with a contemporary feel – only a short, 20-minute drive NW from the city of Exeter. Set in the Vale of the River Creedy, amongst gentle, rolling hills and verdant pastures. Sincerely picture postcard. Once the capital of Devon, Crediton is famed for its inspiring sandstone church and for being the birthplace of Saint Boniface in 680 AD. Its high street is a vibrant place, abuzz with trade –artisan coffee shops, roaring pubs, a farmers’ market and bakeries, jam-packed with mouthwatering delights. For those commuting it has hassle free transport links into Exeter and for schooling a prestigious community college (Queen Elizabeth’s) – with an Ofsted “outstanding” sixth form. In addition, it boasts a brilliant gym & leisure centre for New Year’s resolutions, two supermarkets for the weekly shop and a trading estate for any practical needs. All neatly held in a single valley.
