Description
Situated along popular Topsham Road, this substantial 1930s three-bedroom home offers generous proportions, character and a lifestyle perfectly balanced between city vibrancy and riverside tranquillity.
Positioned within easy reach of the green open spaces of Ludwell Valley Park, scenic walks along Exeter Quay, the charming estuary town of Topsham, and the heart of the City Centre, the property is ideally placed for those who value both convenience and outdoor living.
The home itself retains the character and proportions typical of the 1930s era. A welcoming entrance leads into a bright and spacious lounge, where a classic bay window frames the front aspect and fills the room with natural light.
A separate dining room provides an ideal setting for entertaining or family gatherings, with a separate well-appointed kitchen with further dining space and lovely views over the mature rear garden. A practical cloakroom completes the ground floor accommodation.
Upstairs, three well-sized bedrooms offer comfortable and versatile living space, all served by a family bathroom. The loft is a useful additional space, perfect for a home office, hobby area or storage, adding further flexibility to the layout.
Externally, the property continues to impress. A driveway provides off-road parking alongside a garage, while double wooden gates are situated to the rear of the garden providing access directly onto Southbrook Road, offering additional secure parking if required.
The garden itself is a generous size, thoughtfully arranged with a patio area ideal for al fresco dining and bordered by mature shrubs that create colour and privacy throughout the seasons. To the front, a green frontage sets the house back from the road, enhancing the sense of privacy and kerb appeal.
