Semi-detached house for sale in Newton St. Cyres, Exeter EX5

Located between Exeter and Crediton, Newton St Cyres has long been a preferred village for many. There is a great community, pubs and a recently built primary school, all with good transport links with both buses and trains linking to Crediton and Exeter. Access to the countryside is freely available with lots of walks and country lanes to explore. Sweetham is just away from the main road but close to the railway and The Beer Engine and is a small, friendly community in itself.

Courtfields is a semi-detached brick house which has undergone a wonderful renovation and now provides first class accommodation throughout. The house has been extended and re-modelled on the ground floor and has an amazing, open plan layout deserving of a country life magazine and opens out onto the south facing garden. It’s a very sociable space and with the modern touches, mixed with the original character, it’s a very nice home indeed. The kitchen has been well designed and occupies the extension with roof lights and bi-fold doors and an island helps to zone the areas. There’s a wood-burner as well as gas central heating throughout making it an economical house to run. The stairs from the front entrance lead up to the 3 bedrooms and shower room on the first floor.

Outside, there’s off-road parking to the front for a couple of cars and then access to the side leads to the south facing garden. It’s mainly level and with an abundance of planting along the borders, a pathway that leads through the lawn and plenty of space for those with green fingers to enjoy.

Agents Note: The railway runs to the south of the garden but usually carries only 2 carriage trains a couple of times an hour in each direction and doesn’t run after about 8pm at night so it’s not a busy line!

newton st cyres, between Exeter and Crediton is widely regarded as one of Devon's finest villages, with a gentle stream running through the middle under its ancient stone bridge, alongside the wonderful 15th Century church built in honour of the martyr St Cyres, there are few places which match this tranquil setting. Numerous circular walks of 1.25 to 7.2 miles are on hand and a visit to the beautiful 9 acre arboretum is a must. The new primary school is a fantastic addition & no village is complete without a pub and Newton St Cyres does not disappoint with the atmospheric Beer Engine, a popular watering hole on the Rail Ale Trail, a tour of pubs near stations along the Tarka Line railway between Exeter and Barnstaple. The recently opened Belluno Italian Restaurant is also one to visit and cheese lovers can indulge themselves at Quickes Farm shop, based half a mile west along the A377, the main road to North Devon. These outstanding features are supplemented by that iconic symbol of the English village, the cricket pitch. The crack of leather on willow fills the air when the village team play in the summer months. Footballers don’t miss out either - there are two well-maintained pitches, home to Newton St Cyres fc.
