Stairs rise to the first floor, where a further double bedroom enjoys a dual aspect, creating an exceptionally bright and versatile space. This upper level offers excellent flexibility and could be adapted to suit a variety of needs.

The south facing rear garden provides an attractive outlook across open space and the surrounding area. Well-stocked flower and shrub beds are complemented by patio and decked seating areas, ideal for outdoor entertaining, while raised beds offer scope for homegrown fruit and vegetables. Two useful sheds provide additional storage.

Situation

Bradninch is a thriving village set in the heart of the countryside, around 9 miles from Exeter. It offers a good range of local amenities including a convenience store with post office, two welcoming pubs and a well-regarded primary school.

For a wider choice of shops and services, Cullompton lies about 3 miles to the north, while Exeter itself provides everything expected of a regional centre. The Cathedral City is home to excellent shopping, from independent boutiques to major high street names, with the Princesshay centre offering a mix of restaurants, cafés and retail outlets. The historic quayside also has a vibrant selection of dining options.

Education in the area is highly regarded, with nearby schools including Blundell’s at Tiverton, Exeter School, The Maynard and Exeter Cathedral School. Leisure opportunities are equally strong, with the National Trust’s Killerton Estate - 4,000 acres of woodland - providing outstanding walking and riding.

The area benefits from superb transport links. Junction 28 of the M5 is around 3 miles away, rail connections to London Paddington are available from Tiverton Parkway and Exeter St David’s, and Exeter International Airport is just 8 miles from the village.
