Set at the end of a quiet lane and freshly renovated, this five-bedroom detached home sits on just over 2.2 acres including a private area of woodland. An oak-framed two-storey extension created a light-filled open-plan living space with gallery, bi-fold doors, decked terrace and a high-spec kitchen — ideal for family life and entertaining.
Accommodation is arranged across older and newer wings: three bedrooms and a family bathroom in the original part, and two spacious en suite bedrooms in the modern extension, with the principal suite offering a dressing room and Juliet balcony. Practical spaces include a study, snug with conservatory, utility room and three bathrooms, plus double and single garages and generous parking.
The substantial plot, mature trees and raised decking provide a secluded outside environment with room for gardening, play or small-scale amenity projects. The property benefits from excellent village access and is just a short drive from Exeter and local amenities, while offering countryside living and good transport links.
Important considerations: the property sits in a high flood-risk area and uses bottled LPG for heating, which may affect running costs and insurance. Broadband speeds are very slow; this may be significant for home workers. Council tax is above average. The house has been modernised recently but offers scope for minor updating to suit a buyer’s preferences.
