LOCATION
Exmouth is a thriving coastal town renowned for its long sandy beach, dramatic Jurassic Coast scenery and excellent lifestyle amenities. The town offers a strong sense of community alongside a wide variety of shops, cafés and restaurants, together with sailing, walking and water sports opportunities.

The surrounding area is well known for its outstanding natural beauty, with easy access to coastal walks, cycle paths and the Exe Estuary, a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Despite its coastal setting, Exmouth remains highly practical for everyday living.

Educational facilities are well regarded, and there are convenient transport links, including a mainline railway station providing regular services to Exeter. The cathedral city itself offers a more extensive range of cultural, retail and business amenities, together with access to the M5 motorway network and Exeter International Airport.

Douglas Avenue is one of Exmouth’s most sought after roads and is ideally positioned to take advantage of both the coastal lifestyle and the town’s amenities, making this an appealing location for families, professionals and those seeking a balanced coastal lifestyle.

THE PROPERTY
This substantial and thoughtfully arranged family home occupies a prime position within Exmouth, enjoying impressive open outlooks, excellent natural light and a wonderful sense of space throughout.

The property has been significantly enhanced and reconfigured to suit modern living, with particular emphasis on the creation of an exceptional open plan kitchen, dining and living space, forming the social heart of the house and enjoying a seamless connection to the garden.

A welcoming entrance hall provides access to the principal ground floor accommodation and sets the tone for the property with its sense of light space. Adjacent is a particularly useful utility room, offering additional storage and practical space for day to day living.

The open plan kitchen and dining area has been carefully designed with family life and entertaining in mind. The kitchen itself is well-fitted with contemporary cabinetry, extensive work surfaces and integrated appliances, centred around a substantial island with breakfast seating.

This room flows beautifully with direct access onto the garden via French Doors, there is a quaint seating area centred around a modern woodburning stove and into the sitting room, a separate space with a pleasant outlook over the front garden and segregated perfectly from the open plan space with its own open fire.

The first floor offers four well-proportioned bedrooms, all enjoying pleasant outlooks. The principal bedroom is a notably generous double room, benefitting from an attractive open aspect across rolling countryside, alongside bedrooms two and three.

A stylishly appointed family bathroom completes the accommodation, fitted with a contemporary suite including a freestanding bath and walk in shower, finished with tasteful tiling and modern fittings.

OUTSIDE
To the front, 74 Douglas Avenue benefits from off-road parking together with access to the integral garage, providing excellent storage or potential for further adaptation, subject to the necessary consents.

The rear garden is a standout feature of the property. Laid predominantly to lawn it offers a high degree of privacy while enjoying open views across the surrounding countryside. The garden is thoughtfully arranged with a paved terrace directly outside the house, ideal for outdoor dining and entertaining. Mature planting and trees provide structure and seasonal colour, making this a particularly attractive and family friendly outdoor space.
