Description

The current owners have cherished this home for over a decade and are only moving due to relocation, meaning the property is offered to the market with no onward chain. They often say they wish they could take their beloved home with them, having fallen in love with its unique architectural design, peaceful setting, and beautiful surroundings. What they've appreciated most is the exceptional privacy the property offers, a true sense of tranquillity. The home is wonderfully light and airy, with thoughtfully designed gardens that provide a choice of seating areas to follow the sun or retreat to the shade. Enjoying a rural atmosphere, the location offers the best of both worlds, peaceful countryside living, yet only around a 7 minute drive to Exe Bridges, offering quick and easy access into the heart of Exeter and its amenities.

Set in a tranquil semi-rural location, this superb 1970s-built detached home has been tastefully updated throughout by the current owners. Light-filled rooms enjoy wonderful countryside views, and the generous plot offers both privacy and space for modern family living.
Approached via a private gravel driveway, the home welcomes you with a covered entrance into an impressive reception hall with stylish tiled flooring, a cloak cupboard, and stairs to the upper levels. On the ground floor is one of the four double bedrooms, currently used as an art studio, enjoying lovely garden outlooks. A large utility room, ideal for a country lifestyle, features a sink, ample appliance space, and storage, including housing for the oil-fired boiler and pressurised water tank.

On the first floor, a light landing offers countryside views and space for a desk or study area, alongside a modern shower room. The open-plan living and dining areas are a standout feature. The dining room opens into a cosy lounge with an open fireplace and window seat overlooking the garden, which flows into a high-quality UPVC conservatory. Two sets of French doors lead out to private decked terraces that catch the sun all day, perfect for outdoor entertaining.
The kitchen enjoys uninterrupted countryside views and is fitted with a range of units, an integrated dishwasher, stainless steel sink, and range-style cooker with five-ring gas hob. A door opens onto a Mediterranean-style balcony. On the upper floor are three further double bedrooms, all with built-in wardrobes and beautiful views. The principal bedroom includes a luxurious en suite with a slipper bath and walk-in shower. The upper landing also provides access to a generous loft with good head height, offering potential for conversion (subject to planning).

Outside, the property is accessed via a five-bar gate leading to a private gravel drive with parking for several vehicles and a single garage with power. The front garden is mainly laid to lawn and dotted with mature trees, including apple, pear, willow, horse chestnut, and eucalyptus. To the side is a log store and oil tank. The rear garden is a true highlight, westerly facing a peaceful retreat backing onto open countryside, with manicured lawns, mature trees including cherry blossom and magnolia, a timber shed, and a paved patio area. This is a unique opportunity to own a stylish and spacious country home in a wonderfully private yet accessible location.
