SELLER INSIGHT

We already lived nearby and as it is a great place to live, we really didn’t want to relocate. We purchased this house from new as it ticked a lot of our boxes. We could stay in this fantastic location, we loved the layout and the room sizes were fantastic,” say the owners.

“We’ve lived here for 8 years and the biggest change we have made has been the addition of a large, decked area at the bottom of the garden. It’s a wonderful place to sit in the evening sunshine listening to the sound of the birds. We’ve planted a lot of trees which add to the sense of privacy and they’re a natural attraction for birds too, including a beautiful woodpecker. The patio catches the morning sun before it moves over to the rest of the garden and patio area, so there’s always a sunny spot to be found. We’re not far from Exeter city centre but when we’re in the garden, it feels like we’re in a different world.”

“The property is perfect for day-to-day family life and get-togethers with friends. The kitchen / dining room is where we all congregate as it’s a sociable space with patio doors opening to the garden. Our guests relax on the comfortable corner sofas whilst we’re cooking, so we can still talk and no one is left out. The lounge is another lovely room where we tend to spend our time in the evenings as it’s a large space but still very cosy. I also really like our main bedroom as it’s light and airy with a beautiful ensuite.”

“Everything we need is easily accessible locally, including a wide range of shops, restaurants, cafes, and leisure facilities. The new train station is a 10-minute walk away and it’s just as easy to get out and onto the M5. We are keen walkers, cyclists, and paddleboarders, so the proximity to the river and canal is a huge bonus for us. The cycle paths are excellent, so there’s no need to go near any of the roads and you can cycle into Exmouth and Dawlish with ease. It’s a 30-minute walk to town or there’s a bus stop at the top of the road, so location-wise, it’s just brilliant.”*

On the first floor, the galleried landing leads to the five double bedrooms, a further study/office, and family bathroom.
