Talaton, Exeter, Devon

THE PROPERTY.
Wingridge comprises an attractive detached chalet residence which sits in the most idyllic gardens which are beautifully established, perfectly manicured, and profusely stocked. It is located in a very convenient position right in the heart of the village and is within a stone’s throw of the village shop, public house and Church, as well as being within minutes of some of the county’s most attractive rolling countryside. It also has easy access to the popular towns of Ottery St Mary and the market town of Honiton with its main line rail link to London Waterloo, and the Cathedral City of Exeter.

Wingridge was built in the middle of the last century and is of traditional construction with principally brick elevations under a tiled roof. It has been the subject of a considerable amount of improvement in recent years resulting in the beautifully presented home of quality we find today, with great care and attention given to the fittings and overall finish. Worthy of particular mention is the delightful sitting room with an open fireplace which leads through to a superb conservatory with underfloor heating and views over the gardens. The property also benefits from a modern fitted kitchen and a second reception room with an open staircase giving access to the first floor.

GARDENS & GROUNDS.
Wingridge sits in delightful gardens which have been thoughtfully planted and lovingly tended by the current owners. Brick steps rise from a parking area (for one vehicle) off the lane to the front of the property where a pathway leads to the side where there is an area of lawn surrounded by profusely stocked beds. There is a greenhouse/potting shed and a decked seating area which takes advantage of the delightful views, along with a timber shed with log store behind.
