Pennsylvania Road, Pennsylvania, Exeter

Description

Occupying a peaceful and private position and situated within an exclusive private road serving just three properties, in the highly regarded Pennsylvania area of Exeter, this substantial five-bedroom detached residence offers a superb family home equally suited to modern living with home working requirements.

Approached via a generous block-paved driveway, the property enjoys an attractive frontage with ample parking. The handsome double-fronted façade is complemented by a neatly maintained lawn and mature planting, creating an immediate sense of arrival. A detached double garage and discreet side access further enhance the practicality of the home.

The accommodation is both well-balanced and naturally flowing, with a welcoming entrance hall leading through to the principal living spaces. The sitting room is a particularly impressive reception room of generous proportions, centred around an attractive open stone fireplace and enjoying a large bay window which draws natural light into the room. Double doors lead through to a separate dining room, creating a wonderful arrangement for entertaining and family occasions. Beyond, a timber conservatory provides an attractive additional reception space and enjoys pleasant views over the garden, creating a seamless connection between the indoor and outdoor living spaces.

To the front of the property, a second bay-fronted reception room offers excellent versatility and is currently arranged as a home office, although it could equally serve as a playroom, snug or additional reception room.

The kitchen is a wonderfully sociable and well-proportioned space, designed with family life in mind. Offering generous work surface and storage, the room connects naturally with the adjoining dining spaces while also opening directly onto the rear decked terrace through uPVC double doors, creating an effortless transition to outdoor living and entertaining during the warmer months. A separate utility room provides further practicality with additional storage, appliance space and access to both the garden and garage, whilst a cloakroom completes the ground floor accommodation.

On the first floor, a bright galleried landing creates a wonderful sense of space and benefits from a full-height window allowing natural light to flood the area. There is also access to an airing cupboard and a substantial loft space which may offer future conversion potential, subject to the necessary consents.

The principal bedroom is a generous and comfortable space featuring fitted wardrobes and an en suite shower room comprising a shower enclosure, WC and wash hand basin. A second double bedroom also enjoys the benefit of its own en suite facilities. Three further bedrooms provide flexible accommodation suitable for family members, guests or those requiring additional workspace. The family bathroom has been finished to a high standard and incorporates a bath, separate walk-in shower, WC and wash hand basin. Designed with flexibility in mind, the bathroom also offers direct access from bedroom three, allowing it to function either as a shared family bathroom or a private en suite.

Outside, the property enjoys a particularly generous rear garden which forms a wonderful extension of the living accommodation and provides an attractive setting for both entertaining and everyday enjoyment. Immediately adjoining the rear of the property is a composite decked terrace together with a further patio seating area, ideally positioned for al fresco dining and outdoor entertaining whilst taking full advantage of the extensive far-reaching views.

The gardens have been thoughtfully landscaped and beautifully established, with well-stocked planted beds and mature shrub borders providing year-round colour, texture and interest. Beyond the more formal areas of planting is an attractive wild garden section which creates a more natural setting and encourages wildlife, adding further character and charm to this delightful outdoor environment.

To the side of the property, useful access leads to an area incorporating a greenhouse and garden shed, providing excellent storage and appealing particularly to keen gardeners.
