Set on the edge of Haldon Forest, this three-bedroom semi-detached cottage offers tranquil countryside living with far-reaching views towards Exeter. The house retains character features such as exposed beams and a wood burner, while large dual-aspect rooms and a south-facing garden create bright, liveable spaces ideal for families or those seeking a rural retreat six miles from the city.
The well-stocked, large plot backs directly onto Haldon Forest and includes a paved patio, greenhouse, wood store and gated forest access — a notable asset for outdoor living and walking. Internally, the accommodation includes a 17ft sitting room, dining room with exposed beam, kitchen/breakfast room, utility, separate WC, three first-floor bedrooms and a shower room. Double glazing was installed post-2002 and the property is offered freehold and chain free.
Buyers should note the heating relies on a back boiler and solid-fuel stove with a dual-fuel boiler and radiators; the walls are cavity-built with no added insulation assumed. The garage is in a nearby block (second from the right) with parking in front, rather than an attached garage. The property dates from the 1950s–60s and, while well kept externally, it will suit those prepared to update or reconfigure some services and finishes to modern standards.
This home will appeal to families seeking space and countryside access, buyers wanting a characterful house with direct forest access, and anyone looking for a walkable rural lifestyle within easy reach of Exeter. Its combination of outlook, garden and no onward chain provides clear scope to personalise and add value.
