Property description

An absolutely stunning and luxuriously appointed four double bedroomed house which has recently been extended and refurbished, set amidst a level and beautifully landscaped garden in a highly desirable location.

In more detail ...
The current vendors have lived in this property for 4 years and during their time here have extended and refurbished this house, almost doubling its size, and making it completely unrecognisable by comparison to its former state. The architect designed 2-storey extension cleverly blends seamlessly with the original house, which dates from the 1930's, but it has dramatically improved the external facade to one which is beautiful and aesthetically pleasing. Internally the accommodation is simply stunning and the refurbishment works have included re-plastering, new bath/shower rooms, new kitchen, complete re-decoration throughout and new sumptuous carpets underfoot. The property is approached via a gravel drive to a wide covered portico entrance with outside light. The front door opens into an entrance vestibule where glazed double doors then open into a grand but welcoming, light filled reception hallway. As you enter your eye is immediately drawn to the right to the kitchen/dining room. This is an amazing multi-functional ergonomic space where you can really enjoy entertaining whilst cooking. There is ample room for an informal snug/seating area in addition to a dining area and 2 sets of double French doors open out to the garden making al fresco dining in the summer months easily accessible. The kitchen has a superb range of wall and base units with white gloss door fronts with a complementary oak worktop inset with a one and a third stainless steel sink unit and drainer. A separate breakfast island with oak top, rounded corners and storage is not only beautiful to look at but is also practical as it is designed to move easily on runners. Integrated appliances include an Indesit electric double oven and grill, tall fridge/freezer and a dishwasher, and a Bosch 4 ring gas hob with stainless steel chimney extractor above. The spacious bay fronted sitting room enjoys a view across the immaculately tended garden. A downstairs wc and large utility with a pantry cupboard complete the ground floor accommodation. A wide turning staircase rises to the first floor landing where a bespoke recessed double cupboard houses the condensing Baxi boiler and provides slatted shelving for linen storage. The master bedroom has a built in wardrobe with double cupboard above providing hanging space and shelved storage. There is a wonderful view, via the double glazed window across the garden. The en-suite shower room has a white suite with a close coupled wc with hidden cistern, a floating style wash hand basin and the fully tiled shower cubicle has wrap around screen doors with a Mira Sprint shower.

What the owner likes ...
The refurbishment of this home and garden has been a labour of love. We both work from home so we had to have our own individual spaces and it also had to offer areas to retreat from work and just enjoy open, light filled, beautiful rooms and a peaceful, sunny outside garden. We have really enjoyed living in what is virtually a new home and we also love the area and the friendly neighbourhood. The location is perfect for easy access in and out of town and the coastal walks and beach are just a few minutes away.

Bear in mind ...
There are 4 beautifully appointed double bedrooms and in addition to the master bedroom having an en-suite shower room there is also a modern family bath/shower room. The loft, which is partially boarded and insulated, offers further potential to extend (with the necessary planning consents). The beautifully landscaped southerly aspect garden is bordered by fencing and is mainly laid to lawn divided by a gravel path. The bedding areas are planted with a colourful array of shrubs and flowers including hydrangea, palm, fuchsias, honeysuckle and a wisteria sweeps across the front of the house. All mains services are provided and there is a water meter. Whitton & Laing state that this is a unique, distinctive and stunning property and they highly commend an early viewing.

The location ...
Drakes Avenue is an exceptionally well regarded location and is dominated by medium to large individual detached houses. It is within walking distance of local shops including a post office, hairdressers, general stores, Tescos and a bakery. It also sits within a short distance of Exmouth seafront and the town centre. For keen walkers there is access nearby to many miles of coastal path starting at 'The Needle' at Orcombe Point, which denotes the start of the World Heritage coastline. The Exe Estuary has been designated an 'Area Of Outstanding Natural Beauty' and offers further exceptional walks and a cycle path leading to Lympstone. The opportunities to enjoy a variety of watersports in addition to equestrian and golfing pursuits in the area are also plentiful. Exmouth train station provides access to the nearby Cathedral city of Exeter and beyond. Exmouth is a highly commutable coastal town, also within 20 minutes of the M5 motorway junction and Exeter Airport. It offers an ideal base for those seeking an enhanced coastal lifestyle.
