This spacious four-bedroom detached home sits on a very large plot in peaceful Cheriton Bishop, designed around family life and entertaining. The house centers on a full-width 36' open-plan kitchen/dining/family room with high-spec appliances, an orangery-style glazed end and direct access to an oversized patio and garden — ideal for summer dining and children’s play.
The first-floor master “sanctuary” offers a walk-in wardrobe and a double-basin ensuite with a 10" monsoon showerhead; a second bedroom also has an ensuite. Ground-floor rooms benefit from underfloor heating and higher-than-usual ceilings, giving flexible layout options. Practical features include a detached double garage with personnel door, well-considered storage throughout, and a utility with side access.
The home is specified for modern, low-carbon running with an air source heat pump, Hive controls and CAT6 cabling to main rooms; a 10-year NHBC warranty is referenced. Its rural hamlet setting promises tranquillity, excellent mobile signal and very low local crime — attractive for families seeking countryside living within reach of Exeter.
Notable factual points to check at viewing: marketing describes the plot as a new-build, but records show construction dated 1976–82; the property also lists oil-fuelled boiler heating in some particulars alongside the air source heat pump. Broadband is listed as FTTP yet local reported broadband speeds are slow. Council tax banding is not yet set. These are factual matters to clarify before purchase.
