About
Alexandra Road has long been one of Crediton’s most desirable residential addresses, combining generous individual homes and established plots with an incredibly convenient position in the town.
Okelands sits within a particularly good-sized plot with plenty of parking to the front and a lovely south-facing garden behind, enjoying views across the rooftops towards the surrounding Devon countryside.
Despite the elevated setting, the town is very accessible on foot, with a pathway from the bottom of nearby Okefield Road leading through People’s Park and onwards to the High Street.
The house itself offers something increasingly difficult to find: Plenty of space, a good plot and a flexible layout that already has the fundamentals in place.
The décor is a little dated in places, but that simply leaves the next owner with the opportunity to put their own stamp on a substantial detached home in a location worthy of the investment.
Inside, the room sizes are generous and the layout could work equally well for a family or someone looking for bungalow-style living without giving up the additional space upstairs.
The main living space is particularly sociable, with distinct areas for relaxing and dining before flowing into a south-facing sunroom overlooking and opening onto the garden.
The kitchen is complemented by a separate utility room and walk-in larder, while good built-in storage throughout is another of those practical details that makes everyday life easier.
A double bedroom and bathroom on the ground floor give genuine flexibility for guests, multi-generational living or those wanting to keep their principal accommodation on one level.
Upstairs are three further double bedrooms, a bathroom and separate WC, together with useful eaves storage.
Mains gas central heating and uPVC double glazing are already in place, so whilst many buyers will want to modernise the finishes over time, this is far from being a house that needs starting again.
Outside is another major part of the appeal.
There's a substantial amount of off-road parking, making Okelands particularly well suited to a family with several vehicles, a motorhome or simply anyone who values having space around them, alongside a garage with electric roller door.
The majority of the garden lies to the south of the house, where its sunny aspect and elevated position can really be appreciated.
Predominantly lawned with established borders, mature plants, shrubs and trees, there's plenty of room for children, gardening, entertaining or simply sitting out and enjoying the outlook across the town and countryside beyond.
Offered with no onward chain, Okelands is a chance to take a sizeable and very comfortable detached home in one of Crediton’s best-established locations and gradually turn it into something really special.

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.
