Set within the attractive Drakes Farm cluster in Ide, this three-bedroom detached house offers traditional charm with modern convenience. The dual-aspect 20ft living room and south-facing paved garden create a bright, sociable ground floor, while the principal bedroom benefits from an en suite. Internal access to the single garage and separate parking add practical appeal for everyday family life.
The kitchen is fitted with essential appliances including a gas hob, electric oven and dishwasher; the Worcester gas boiler provides central heating to radiators. The layout is straightforward and well suited to families or downsizers seeking a manageable, characterful home close to village amenities, a good primary school and quick links to Exeter.
Buyers should note a few material considerations: the property sits in a high flooding risk area and the plot is modest in size. Council tax is above average. Double glazing is present but the install date is unknown. While well maintained, the house dates from the 1980s and offers scope for cosmetic updating to personalise finishes and improve energy performance.
Sold with no onward chain, the Gatehouse will suit someone looking for a ready-to-live-in dwelling with immediate access to village life and excellent digital connectivity. Practical features — garage, parking and a low-crime, affluent setting — underpin longer-term desirability, while the flooding risk and limited garden space are important factors for buyers to assess.
