About this home
Occupying a superb tucked away and quiet position, this well proportioned 1930s detached house in lower Pennsylvania is within easy walking distance of Exeter University and the city centre and offers generous accommodation with mature south facing private gardens and character features throughout.
Set back from the road with mature front gardens creating a good degree of privacy and seclusion, this architecturally appealing property has been a much loved family home for many years and has been well maintained and updated whilst retaining the 1930s character features to create a comfortable and well proportioned home.
A covered entrance porch leads into a spacious bay windowed hallway looking over delightfully mature and private front gardens with a downstairs cloakroom. A separate living room and dining room both feature bay windows which overlook delightfully mature and private south facing gardens and the dining room benefits from a wood burning stove. The fitted kitchen/breakfast room incorporates integrated appliances with a traditional walk in larder/pantry cupboard and utility cupboard.
Upstairs, two principal bedrooms feature south facing bay windows enjoying open views across the city, the Haldon hills and countryside in the distance. There are two further double bedrooms and a family bathroom with spacious landing incorporating airing cupboards.
Outside at the front there are low maintenance gravelled gardens, with mature shrubs and trees with driveway parking and single garage with power and lighting. At the rear a paved patio overlooks lawned gardens, surrounded by attractive mature shrubs and trees to provide privacy with flower borders and a timber storage shed. A attractive sunny paved side patio adjacent to the kitchen provides an additional entertaining/sitting area.
A replacement gas condensing boiler, solar PV panels and cavity wall insulation were installed in 2022. The property benefits from uPVC double glazed windows throughout.
