Set on a generous 0.3-acre plot in a peaceful woodland setting on the fringes of Exmouth, this extended detached home offers flexible family living across approximately 2,736 sq.ft. The house delivers wide, light-filled rooms including a 32 ft dual-aspect sitting room with log burner, a large kitchen/breakfast room with island and skylights, plus a formal dining room and useful study — ideal for family life and home working.
Accommodation is arranged over three floors with a 20 ft principal bedroom and ensuite on the first floor, three further bedrooms and a family bathroom, and a well-considered second-floor suite offering a large triple-aspect room and adjoining double bedroom. Practical benefits include a double garage with electric roller door, gated driveway with ample parking, double glazing and chain-free sale.
The private, southerly garden is a standout feature: largely lawned with raised borders, multiple seating areas, a large patioed sun terrace with lighting, a covered hot-tub area and fruit trees. The plot’s size and aspect create a sunny, sheltered outdoor oasis suitable for children’s play, gardening and entertaining.
Notable points to consider: the house was constructed between 1930–1949 and is heated by an oil-fired boiler, which some buyers replace for lower running costs. Council tax is above average. While the property has been significantly updated and extended, the footprint and age mean there may be typical mid-century maintenance and modernization needs in parts of the home. Overall this is a spacious, versatile family house in a desirable coastal location with strong transport and leisure links.
