Description
As you step into the welcoming entrance hall, you'll be greeted by high ceilings, sash windows, and intricate cornicing, true reflections of the home's period charm. The heart of the home is the bespoke country-style kitchen, complete with an AGA and central island, perfect for both intimate meals and larger dinner parties. Two spacious reception rooms, each with French doors leading to the covered veranda, offer breathtaking views of the expansive lawns and gardens.
On the first floor, the landing leads to four beautifully appointed bedrooms, each with its own distinct character. A second staircase ascends to the top floor, where you'll find two additional bedrooms, along with a dressing room and a bathroom. The property also features a contemporary annex, with spa area including a state-of-the-art gym, hot tub area, shower, and storage space on the ground floor.
The first floor of the annex boasts a sophisticated open-plan living space, complete with a high-spec kitchen, dining, and living areas, ideal for both relaxation and entertaining. Two en-suite bedrooms, each with a wraparound balcony, complete this level. Throughout the property, natural light floods the rooms, highlighting the period-style features, including decorative panelling and ornate fireplaces. From the balcony, you'll enjoy arguably the best views of Exeter Cathedral, with sweeping vistas extending towards Dartmoor and Haldon Hill.
The crowning glory of this property is its expansive garden. Spanning over two-thirds of an acre, the grounds offer a serene sanctuary, with vast lawns, mature trees, established borders, and high hedges that provide both privacy and beauty. A hidden garden, with peaceful seating areas and a tranquil pond, invites you to discover yet another corner of this spectacular space. The rear of the property is south-west facing, ensuring sunshine throughout the day. Ample parking is available, with the potential for a garage (subject to planning permission). This rare find, in such a prime location, is perfect for multi-generational living or could be an ideal Air BnB opportunity.
