Set on a substantial private plot in the quiet hamlet of Posbury, this attractive 1930s Dart & Francis detached house combines period charm with practical family living. The home retains many original features — high ceilings, bay windows and crafted woodwork — and provides generous reception space, a well-equipped kitchen and comfortable bedrooms across three levels. It is offered chain free and for the first time in nearly 50 years.
The garden is a standout: large, well-established and private, with a detached summer house that could serve as a home office, studio or hobby room. A long driveway and double garage supply secure off-road parking and workshop potential. There is clear scope to modernise the kitchen and reconfigure living space or extend (subject to planning), offering tangible value for a buyer who wants to personalise the house.
Buyers should note some practical considerations: the property uses a private borehole water supply and private drainage (septic tank), heating is by oil, and broadband performance in the area is reported as very slow despite postcode availability. Council Tax is Band F, which will be higher running cost than average. These are factual matters to weigh alongside the home’s size, character and plot.
Located a short drive from Crediton with good local primary and secondary schools nearby, the house will suit families seeking space and country tranquillity with reasonable access to town amenities. The house’s size, plot and retained character make it particularly appealing to buyers wishing to renovate or extend to create a long-term family home.
