Description
This delightful semi-detached former forestry cottage is peacefully situated, enjoying outstanding, far-reaching views towards Exeter and beautifully maintained lawned gardens adjoining Haldon Forest.
The accommodation includes a dining room with an exposed ceiling beam, a solid-fuel wood burner, and a back boiler providing central heating and hot water. The 17ft sitting room is dual aspect, with exposed beams and double doors opening onto the gardens. The kitchen/breakfast room is also dual aspect – light, spacious, and benefitting from superb views. There is also a utility room and a separate WC.
On the first floor are three bedrooms and a shower room. All three bedrooms enjoy fantastic views.
Outside, there is a single garage in a block (the second garage from the right), with parking in front of the property. The front garden is stocked with a variety of shrubs and features steps leading up to the front door.
A real highlight of the property is the south-facing rear garden, mainly laid to lawn and backing directly onto Haldon Forest. The gardens are well kept and stocked with a variety of flowers and shrubs, winding paths, and a private paved patio – perfect for dining outdoors or relaxing and enjoying the surroundings. There is also a greenhouse, a wood store, and a gate providing direct access to Haldon Forest.
