There are also many more shops, bars and eateries alongside the breathtaking Exeter Cathedral. Other visual pleasures include Gandy St, Royal Albert Memorial Museum and the historic Quay.
THE HOUSE This stunning house, was built c. 10 years ago and positively oozes class & tranquillity when entering through the electric gates, up the manicured driveway and up to the front of the house, there is an instant impression of peace; making ones way through the entrance hall, there is a notion that the house was created for entertaining and enjoying, not just living. A large entrance hall, which in turn has an office space to the rear, leads smartly to the guest suite, with its lavish ensuite bathroom, then the two further bedrooms sharing a bathroom, 'Jack & Jill" style, before finally finding the laundry room, boiler room and the triple garage. When ascending the staircase to the first floor, there is again the feeling of light & space, given from the vaulted ceiling and minstrels gallery landing; to the left is the eating space, with dining room leading into the delicious kitchen living space all with light streaming in through the cornucopia of roof windows, French style doors and double doors leading outside; to the right is the sitting room with cathedral style vaulted ceiling and doors leading onto the balcony with breath-taking views over the garden and hills beyond; finally is the palatial master suite, having an abundance of built in wardrobes and simply wonderful ensuite bathroom.
OUTSIDE Passing through electric gates on stone pillars, the gravel driveway ascends in front proceeding to triple integral garages. It is clear from the outset that a great many hours have been loving put into creating this abundance of colour and perfusion of shape and scent, all around the c. 0.62 acres of formal grounds. For the green fingered amounts "you", this really is a dream different compartments, many vistas and ultimately, something new to look at throughout all the seasons; yet for those not so keen it has been created to look after itself, so all that needs to happen is the lovely green awns need tending, while the beds, bushes & trees do their own thing. There is a gardener currently, so one could perhaps persuade him to stay on. Most impressive of all, is the hard landscaping that has taken place, inviting unique vistas of not only the garden - but valley beyond too.
