Halyards, Topsham, Exeter, Devon, EX3

A superbly situated, ground floor riverside apartment with private garden, commanding breathtaking views across the Exe Estuary in the heart of Topsham.

Description

A beautifully positioned two bedroom ground floor apartment enjoying outstanding, uninterrupted views across the Exe Estuary and river, situated within the highly regarded Halyards development in the historic estuary town of Topsham.

Rare to the market, the property occupies a superb waterfront setting, with direct access from the living room to a private garden, which in turn leads to well-maintained communal grounds. A main highlight throughout the property is the magnificent views of the river Exe and the array of moored boats, as well as views over the surrounding countryside, Powderham Castle and the Haldon Hills towards Haldon Belvedere.

Measuring approximately 1,100 sqft, the accommodation is well-arranged to take full advantage of the views. A welcoming entrance hall leads through to a living room where you are immediately struck by the stunning views, also linking to a dining room and the kitchen, fitted with a range of units and integrated appliances. There are two well-proportioned double bedrooms, including a notably spacious principal bedroom with fitted storage and en suite. The second bedroom is also a comfortable double with storage, and offers flexibility as guest accommodation or a study. The property is completed by a second bathroom and linen cupboards located from the entrance hall.

A particular feature of the property is the gorgeous riverside private garden, providing a delightful outdoor space directly accessed from the apartment and enjoying the exceptional estuary outlook. An initial paved patio area provides a great spot for alfresco dining, leading onto an easy to maintain level lawn. There is also a rockery feature and a useful outside tap. At the side of the apartment is a covered patio and a garden store. Beyond this, a side gate opens to the communal gardens that extend towards the water’s edge.

The property also benefits from a single garage, with an up and over electric operated door, power and lighting. There is also communal guest parking.

Halyards is accessed by a security entry system at the communal entrance hall. A service room houses meters for gas and electricity, with a bin store area. From the communal garden there is also a small communal jetty and steps to the water.
