Exeter, Devon

Description

A beautifully appointed and immaculately maintained four bedroom detached home, occupying a particularly attractive position within this sought after modern development. Enjoying delightful open views across neighbouring countryside, together with easy access to nearby riverside walks and cycle paths, the property offers an exceptional balance of comfort, versatile living space and an enviable setting.

The property has been thoughtfully improved by the current owners and is presented to an excellent standard throughout, with well proportioned accommodation ideally suited to modern family living and entertaining. A welcoming entrance hall creates an immediate sense of space and provides access to the principal ground floor rooms. To the front of the property, the elegant dual-aspect dining room enjoys pleasant views towards the river and surrounding mature trees, creating a wonderfully light and inviting reception space. The sitting room is equally well positioned, benefitting from attractive front-facing views and centred around an inset multi-fuel wood-burning stove, providing a cosy focal point. Double doors open seamlessly into the conservatory, allowing the reception areas to flow naturally together.

The conservatory offers a superb additional reception space with direct access onto the rear garden, making it an ideal room for year-round enjoyment, whether as a garden room, informal sitting area or entertaining space. The kitchen/breakfast room has been recently refitted to a particularly high specification and forms very much the heart of the home. Fitted with an extensive range of contemporary wall and base units with granite work surfaces over, the kitchen incorporates a comprehensive selection of integrated appliances including a dishwasher, double oven, fridge/freezer and four-ring gas hob. A useful storage and cloaks cupboard provides additional practicality, while a pleasant outlook over the rear garden further enhances the room’s appeal.

Adjoining the kitchen, the utility room offers further storage and workspace, together with plumbing for a washing machine. A ground floor cloakroom completes the accommodation on this level.

On the first floor, a spacious landing gives access to all four bedrooms and family bathroom. The principal bedroom is particularly impressive, benefitting from fitted wardrobes and enjoying far-reaching views across the river and surrounding countryside. The en suite shower room is stylishly appointed and fitted with a double-width shower, wash basin, low-level WC and heated towel rail. Bedroom two overlooks the rear garden, while bedroom three also enjoys attractive countryside views and both benefit from a range of fitted wardrobes. Bedroom four is currently arranged as a study but would lend itself equally well to use as a single bedroom, also enjoying an attractive outlook to the front.

The family bathroom has been fitted with a modern white suite comprising a panelled bath with shower over and glazed screen, wash basin, low-level WC and heated towel rail.

To the front and side, a private driveway provides generous off-road parking and access to the garage. The garage itself is of excellent size and benefits from power, lighting, useful overhead storage and a fitted workstation area to the rear, ideal for hobbies or additional practical use.

The rear garden has been attractively landscaped and is fully enclosed, offering a high degree of privacy. Raised flower and shrub borders provide seasonal colour and interest, while gravelled and paved seating terraces create ideal spaces for outdoor dining and entertaining during the warmer months. A substantial storage shed provides further practicality, completing what is a beautifully balanced and highly desirable family home in a particularly appealing setting.

Situation

Gate Reach enjoys an excellent position on the edge of the city, combining a peaceful setting with superb accessibility. The nearby river is just a short distance away, offering attractive waterside walks and established cycle paths that link easily to the historic quay. Here, a lively mix of cafes, restaurants and independent outlets create a popular destination for both leisure and socialising.

The property is particularly well placed for families, with a range of well regarded primary and secondary schools within easy reach. The Royal Devon and Exeter Hospital is also conveniently close by, making the location especially appealing for healthcare professionals or those seeking proximity to key services.

Transport connections are another strong feature, with swift access to major road networks including the M5 and A30, providing links across the region. Regular public transport services operate nearby, and mainline rail connections from Exeter offer direct routes to London and other major cities, making this an ideal location for both commuting and day to day convenience.
