Perched on an elevated hillside on the edge of Thorverton, this newly renovated five-bedroom detached house offers almost 2,500 sq ft of contemporary, light-filled living. The 2020 renovation and extension produced high ceilings, large glazed openings, a minimalist bespoke kitchen with Miele and Liebherr appliances, and a restrained, durable interior palette. Sweeping gardens of about half an acre, mature trees and a pond create a private rural setting while Exeter is around a 20-minute drive.
Designed for comfortable family life and entertaining, the upper level is dominated by an open-plan kitchen/dining/living area opening to a slate terrace for outdoor dining and evening sunsets. The principal suite occupies one end of the upper floor with triple-aspect windows, dressing area and an en suite shower. The lower floor houses a generous family room with a wood-burning stove and sliding doors to the garden, plus four further double bedrooms—two with integrated wardrobes—and a shared bathroom/wet room with both shower and bathtub.
Practical strengths include off-street parking for multiple cars, mains gas central heating, double glazing and a large, versatile plot that has been partly left to wilding — ideal for wildlife-friendly gardens or personal landscaping. Local amenities, a good village primary school and very low local crime make the location well suited to families who want countryside living with straightforward access to Exeter’s facilities.
Notable considerations: broadband speeds are slow despite excellent mobile signal, the property sits in a medium flood-risk area, and council tax is high (Band G). The house has two bathrooms for five bedrooms, which may be a constraint for larger families without further adaptation. Buyers should also note the glazing was installed before 2002 and that the plot’s wilded areas will need maintenance if a more formal garden is preferred.
