Libbets Grange

Development Overview

Libbets Grange is a new build development by Bellway Homes, located at Creedy Bridge, Crediton, Devon, EX17 1AB, on the north-eastern edge of the town. The scheme will deliver a total of 257 new homes, comprising 201 properties for private sale and 56 affordable homes available through low-cost rent or shared ownership.

Examples of available house types include the three-bedroom terraced 'The Turner' priced at £300,000, and the four-bedroom semi-detached 'The Cartwright', starting at £365,000. Four-bedroom detached properties are also offered, with current listings ranging up to £460,000.

Property and Site Details

All homes at Libbets Grange are built to the Artisan specification, which aims to combine traditional craftsmanship with modern construction techniques. The design incorporates generous areas of public open space, parkland, and children's play areas, aligning with 'Building for a Healthy Life' principles to encourage active lifestyles. In line with sustainable practices, the development includes provisions for electric vehicle charging points and cycle storage facilities. Bellway Homes, one of the UK’s largest housebuilders, operates with a commitment to quality and service, though buyers are advised to review local site-specific customer satisfaction data.

Location Benefits and Transport Links

Libbets Grange is situated approximately 1.2 miles from Crediton High Street, putting a variety of shops, pubs, and restaurants within a convenient distance. A major supermarket is less than a mile away, reachable within a 20-minute walk. Leisure facilities in the immediate vicinity include Shobrooke Park, located about half a mile away, and the Downes Crediton Golf Club, which is roughly a five-minute drive.

The development offers strong transport connections for commuters. Crediton Train Station provides regular Great Western Railway (GWR) services, with the fastest journey time to the major hub of Exeter St Davids taking just 10 minutes. Road access is via the A377, connecting directly to Exeter (approximately nine miles away), and the M5 motorway (Junction 27) is under a 30-minute drive via the A361. Furthermore, Bellway has committed £675,000 towards improved local bus services, supplementing the existing Stagecoach routes (e.g., Route 5/5A) that connect Crediton to Exeter City Centre in around 30 minutes.

Practical and Community Information

The development will bring significant infrastructure investment to the Crediton area, totalling over £2 million. This includes the allocation of 2.7 acres of land for a new primary school site within the scheme, offering immediate local educational provision for future residents. Additionally, 21 acres of land have been set aside for the relocation of the Crediton Rugby Club. For immediate educational needs, existing options include Landscore Primary School in Crediton town.
