Doddiscombsleigh, Exeter

Situation

Leigh House is located on the outskirts of this sought after village with far reaching views over its own land and the surrounding countryside. Doddiscombsleigh itself is a lovely village with an excellent community spirit and a popular local pub, The Nobody Inn, and a Grade I listed Parish Church. The village also has a primary school, regular 7 day a week bus service into Exeter, and is well located to enjoy everything that Dartmoor National Park has to offer whilst also being only about 6 miles from the Cathedral City of Exeter with its road, rail and airport links. The nearby villages of Christow and Dunsford also offer further amenities.

Description

The house was originally built in 1994. It has been improved and extended over the years by the current owners who have been in residence since 2005. The well laid out and good sized accommodation is mainly to be found on the first floor with the ground floor consisting of the double garage and a spacious Craft/Games Room/Bedroom/Office which also offers potential to create a self contained flat/annexe.

Externally there is generous parking to the front whilst to the rear can be found the well tended garden and a sloped field with a driveway leading to a useful open fronted 30ft timber outbuilding where the current owners used to store their campervan

Accommodation

The front door opens into an extended Porch with stairs and glass balustrade up to the First Floor and doors to the Double Garage and the Craft/Games Room which could be used as a further Bedroom or could create a self contained Flat/Annexe.

The remaining accommodation is accessed off the first floor landing and offers a good flow of rooms, all double glazed, with excellent views either to the front over surrounding countryside or to the rear over its own gardens. It offers four double bedrooms (two with large built-in wardrobes), an en-suite bathroom from the Master Bedroom, a small Study and a modern family Bathroom with spa bath and a separate shower. The Living Room benefits from a woodburner for those colder days and opens both into the spacious Dining Room (both with Oak flooring) and also out into the garden. The good sized kitchen offers a range of units with an induction hob and built in appliances. There is also a Utility Room with Butlers sink with a door...
