Harrington Lane, Pinhoe, Exeter

Description

Built in 2013, this outstanding eco-friendly home blends contemporary architecture with sustainable living, offering a beautifully designed space that is as practical as it is stylish. Finished to an exceptional standard, the property features bright, airy rooms throughout and has been carefully engineered for energy efficiency, boasting underfloor heating, double-glazed windows and sliding doors, solar panels with storage battery, an electric voltage reducer, and a Mechanical Ventilation with Heat Recovery (MVHR) system.

A solid oak front door opens into a welcoming reception hallway with natural slate flooring, setting the tone for the quality and attention to detail found throughout the home. The hallway flows into a generous layout perfect for modern family living, with an engineered oak staircase rising to the first floor. A separate utility room and cloakroom are located on the ground floor, alongside a dedicated study ideal for home working.

The sitting room is well-proportioned and light-filled, with double-glazed windows to the front and sliding doors opening to the rear garden and large patio – creating a seamless link between indoors and outdoors. The room is finished with a wood burner, which is complemented by premium oak flooring.

The kitchen/dining room is a real centrepiece designed for everyday living. Fitted with a granite worktop and a comprehensive range of wall and base units, the kitchen includes an induction hob with extractor, a built-in oven, combination microwave oven, and a warming drawer. A one-and-a-half bowl sink with mixer tap complements the high-specification finishes. The dining area provides generous space for entertaining, while natural slate flooring and LED downlighters complete the contemporary aesthetic. Sliding doors open directly onto the south-facing rear garden.

Upstairs, a split-level landing, finished with engineered oak flooring and illuminated by a -glazed window, leads to four double bedrooms and the family bathroom.

The principal bedroom is particularly impressive, measuring up to 4 metres wide including the access area. It offers built-in double wardrobes, engineered oak flooring, and a double-glazed rear aspect window. A few steps lead to a luxurious en-suite, featuring a wet room-style walk-in shower, separate bath, wash basin with mixer tap, WC, and natural slate tiling to the floor and walls. A Velux window and ladder-style heated towel rail complete the space.

The second bedroom is another generous double, enjoying twin-aspect double-glazed windows, fitted wardrobes, and its own en-suite. This second en-suite mirrors the high-quality finish of the principal suite with a wet room shower, wash basin, mixer tap, WC, natural slate flooring and wall tiling, a chrome heated towel rail, and LED downlighters.

The third and fourth double bedrooms each benefit from fitted wardrobes and lovely outlooks, and share a stylish family bathroom finished with the same attention to quality, including a natural slate floor.

Externally, the south-facing rear garden is a true sanctuary, offering exceptional privacy with landscaped lawns, planted borders, vegetable beds, and a large paved patio — ideal for outdoor dining and entertaining with direct access from both the sitting room and kitchen.

To the front, electric gates open onto a paved driveway providing ample parking and direct access to the double garage, complete with electric up-and-over door. The garage also houses the solar battery storage system and voltage reducer. Additional features include a stoned seating area, wood store, and mature planting that frames the property beautifully.

This is a rare opportunity to acquire a thoughtfully crafted, highly sustainable modern home, where every detail has been carefully considered to create an exceptional living environment.
