Description
Description
This individual detached house occupies a generous and highly convenient position on the southern outskirts of Exeter, offering spacious and versatile accommodation together with approximately 1 acre of gardens.
Approached through an impressive reception hall with wood flooring and stairs rising to the first floor. There are three good-sized reception rooms, including a bay-fronted sitting room with fireplace and fitted wood-burning stove, leading into a spacious conservatory overlooking the gardens.
The dining room provides an excellent space for entertaining, whilst the study offers a useful home-working environment.
The generous dual-aspect kitchen/breakfast room is fitted with a range of units, tiled flooring and a Rayburn cooker, with a separate utility room and cloakroom/WC completing the ground floor.
On the first floor are three bedrooms, with bedroom one benefiting from an adjoining dressing room. This room could readily be adapted to provide a fourth bedroom if required, subject to any necessary consents. There are also two bathrooms and a separate WC, providing well-appointed accommodation for family living.
Outside, the property is approached via a private driveway providing parking for several vehicles and leading to a substantial detached Garage. The gardens extend to around 1 acre and surround the house, with generous areas of lawn, mature trees and established planting providing an attractive and private setting.

AGENTS NOTE
This is an executor sale. The property is believed to be unregistered, and the seller has limited knowledge of the title documentation. Buyers should make their own enquiries through their solicitor. This property is being sold without an occupier or previous owner available to provide the usual property information. As such, we are unable to offer first hand details regarding its condition, any alterations, boundaries, neighbour relations, or other matters that would typically be answered by an owner-occupier. Consequently, our knowledge of the property is more limited than in a standard owner-occupied sale, and some material information may not be known. While we will take all reasonable steps to supply accurate information, prospective buyers are strongly advised to carry out all standard checks, inspections, and searches. Any prospective buyer should also inform their solicitor of this situation and obtain appropriate legal advice.
