Large garden, double garage and modernised interiors ideal for families.
Five bedrooms across three storeys, generous living and dining spaces
A spacious five-bedroom detached cottage in Alphington, recently renovated to combine period character with contemporary living. The property sits on a large plot with a good-size enclosed garden, paved patio, raised deck and summer house — excellent for family life and outdoor entertaining. Internally, generous reception rooms and a large kitchen/diner give flexible living space across three storeys, plus useful utility, workshop/store and a double garage.
Practical strengths include mains gas central heating with a modern boiler, off-street parking for several cars, and mostly double glazing. The kitchen and bathrooms are newly fitted and the house has been refreshed throughout, so it is largely move-in ready for a buyer wanting space close to the city with village character.
Notable matters to consider: the property’s stone walls were constructed before 1900 and are assumed to have no cavity insulation, and the double glazing was installed before 2002 — both can affect running costs. The EPC is D and the house falls in Council Tax Band F, so ongoing energy and tax costs are higher than average. There is a planning application submitted to develop the adjoining field to the rear; this could alter outlook, privacy and future surroundings.
This house will suit a growing family seeking large, flexible accommodation with character and modernised interiors, or someone wanting a substantial home with scope to personalise further. The location benefits from good local schools, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, while offering convenient access to Exeter amenities.
