Situated in a peaceful and highly desirable hamlet on the outskirts of Exeter, this attractive detached character home offers well-proportioned and versatile accommodation extending to over 2,000 sq ft, together with beautifully established private gardens, an orchard, pond and an excellent range of outbuildings.

At the heart of the home is the kitchen/dining room, providing plenty of space for everyday family life and entertaining, with an oil-fired Aga adding to its character and warmth. A separate utility room provides excellent practical space and there is also a ground floor shower room.
The impressive 28ft sitting room is a particular feature of the property, arranged over two levels and offering a wonderful sense of space and character. A stone chimney breast forms an attractive focal point, centred around a wood-burning stove, creating a cosy and inviting room. To the rear, the garden room enjoys lovely views over the gardens and has previously been used as a studio, offering flexibility as a further reception room, hobby space or home office.
The ground floor also benefits from a double bedroom, making this an ideal option for those looking for flexible accommodation for guests, older relatives or single-level living.
On the first floor are three further bedrooms, including two particularly well-proportioned rooms, together with a shower room. The layout provides plenty of flexibility for family living, working from home or accommodating visiting guests.
Outside, the property is approached via a private gated driveway, providing ample off-road parking for several vehicles and leading to a car port/garage.
