Summary - LYALLS DUNCHIDEOCK EXETER EX6 7YD
4 bed 2 bath Detached
Spacious family home with acre grounds and far-reaching views.
Grade II listed thatched detached house with substantial period character
Lyalls is a substantial Grade II listed thatched house set in nearly an acre of gardens, perched to enjoy far-reaching views across the Haldon ridge towards Exeter. The house combines authentic period features — exposed beams, flagstone floors and a striking exposed brick chimney — with contemporary comforts such as underfloor heating in parts, a roomy open-plan kitchen/dining/family space and two log-burning fireplaces.
Ground-floor living is generous: an impressive kitchen with Quartz worktops, electric AGA and breakfast bar opens to a sunny dining/family area and rear porch. A large dual-aspect sitting room with exposed beam ceiling and a second reception room offer flexible living for families, home working or formal entertaining. The first floor provides four double bedrooms and a standout family bathroom with freestanding bath and oak steps.
The grounds are a major asset — extensive, landscaped and productive, with more than ten apple trees, large oak, terraced patios, pizza oven, greenhouse and two outbuildings. A private driveway and courtyard provide off-street parking for several vehicles. The property is offered chain free, about 15 minutes from Exeter and close to local schools and riding stables.
Important practical points: the house is Grade II listed, which will make alterations more complex and require specialist permissions. Services include oil-fired central heating, spring-fed water and a private septic tank. Broadband is FTTC (up to around 76Mbps) but indoor mobile coverage is limited. Council Tax Band G is relatively expensive. These are material considerations for buyers seeking a rural period home.
