Sylvan New Homes
The Sidings – Yeoford – Mid Devon, EX17 5H
A stunning development of just seven individually designed luxury 4 bedroom homes built to an extremely high standard by a reputable and well established local developer and builder. This development incorporates a significantly enhanced specification and comes with a high quality finish, creating luxurious living in this idyllic Mid Devon village.
Yeoford is a thriving village community which needs nothing wanting from a traditional Devon village lifestyle. The village has a train station, church, chapel, village/community hall, recreation and children’s playground, school, post office, pub, cricket club, gardening club, play group, WI, scouts club, football club, The Mare and Foal is central in the village and is a highly regarded eating house and local hostelry with darts and skittle teams and regular quiz nights.
Yeoford is conveniently situated just 3 miles from the thriving market town of Crediton, with its Sports Centre / Swimming Pool, Golf Course, Supermarkets and restaurants and 13 miles from the Cathedral and University City of Exeter with it’s newly opened highly acclaimed Princesshay shopping centre.
The local rail station is a few minutes walk away and the Tarka line (non-mainline) provides regular daily access to Barnstaple to the north and the city of Exeter (both Exeter St. David’s and Exeter Central), via Crediton, to the south connecting to the mainlines on to London and The Midlands / North and to Plymouth and Cornwall to the south.
The village is four miles from the A30 dual carriageway (and the main route south into Cornwall) leading to the M5, and just 14 miles away from the village, off the M5, is Exeter International Airport.
