Summary - BLACK FOREST LODGE MAMHEAD EXETER EX6 8HR
4 bed 4 bath Detached
Nearly an acre of landscaped gardens, studio and woodland access.
Double-bay Victorian detached house with rich period character
Set in nearly an acre of mature, landscaped grounds with direct access into surrounding woodland, this double-bay, Victorian-era detached house blends period character with comfortable modern living. Principal reception rooms include two bay-fronted lounges with fireplaces and a bright open-plan kitchen/breakfast room that opens onto garden views. A useful ground-floor study and shower room add flexibility for home working or occasional single-floor living.
Upstairs there are four generous double bedrooms, including a dual-aspect master with en-suite, plus a cellar room currently used as a gym that could suit storage, hobbies, or a home studio. Outside, a double garage, workshop, garden studio with services, greenhouse, orchard, chicken run, established beehive and a secluded hot-tub deck create a self-sufficient, family-friendly setup for year-round outdoor life.
Practical considerations are clear: the house is a substantial period property built before 1900 with traditional stone walls (assumed uninsulated) and an older council tax band described as quite expensive. Broadband is very slow and there is no mobile signal at the property, which may affect remote working without investment in connectivity solutions. The sellers have improved and maintained the home, including double glazing and solar panels, but buyers should factor typical maintenance and potential thermal upgrades for older masonry construction.
This home will suit buyers seeking privacy, space and countryside living close enough to Exeter and transport links for convenience. It offers immediate enjoyment with significant potential for further modernisation or energy-efficiency improvements for long-term savings and comfort.
