OUTSIDE: Isca Lodge is approached over a long curved private driveway giving access to a large parking area for 12-14 vehicles. The gardens are a particular feature of Isca Lodge, extending principally to two sides of the house and enjoying a wonderful sense of privacy and seclusion. Set within approximately half an acre, the gardens feature broad sweeping lawns, established beds and borders and a mature mix of shrubs, palms, trees and flowering plants, creating colour and interest throughout the seasons. A large paved patio provides an excellent space for outdoor dining and entertaining, with a purpose-built seating area enjoying views across the gardens. There are also two garden stores and generous areas of lawn. There is a side pedestrian gate leading onto the footpath of Long Lane.

The gardens also benefit from lapsed planning permission for the construction of a detached house, offering potential for future development, subject to any necessary consents. DIRECTIONS: Proceeding into Exmouth via the A376, stay on the road until reaching the train station on the right hand side and take the first left at the roundabout and at the next roundabout take the right hand exit and follow the road up through the town and past Holy Trinity Church on the right. At the top of the hill cross over the roundabout taking the second exit onto Rolle Road. Follow the road around to the left and onto Douglas Avenue. After the right hand turn onto Maer Road, take the left turn onto Isca Road. Follow the road around to the right, at the fork and Isca Lodge is sign posted to the left.
