5 bedroom detached house

This spacious and comfortable detached 1950’s house offers a wealth of attractive accommodation arranged over two floors. The current owners have extended and upgraded the property, adding both to the rear and west elevations, to create a thoroughly pleasant and flexible living space.

The main ground floor reception room is the well-proportioned sitting room, which has a feature fireplace and French doors opening onto the rear garden. Double doors connect the sitting room to the dining room, another light and airy reception room with sliding glass doors opening onto the garden. Doors connect from the dining room to the German kitchen which is by Ralph Winter. The Quartz topped units are integrated with a two drawer Fisher and Paykel dishwasher, a Rangemaster cooker with induction hob, a French style fridge freezer with a sparkling water maker, a chilled water and ice dispenser, plus a wine cooler. The flooring is by Amtico and there is a boiling water tap and waste disposal incorporated into the sink. A back door opens from the kitchen to a pretty courtyard which gets the morning sun. Also off the kitchen is a useful family room. There is also a cloakroom on this floor.

The first floor has a generous principal bedroom with extensive fitted storage and Jack and Jill en suite bathroom with bath and shower and dual washbasins. There are three further bedrooms on the first floor, as well as an office, which could be used as a fifth bedroom or a dressing room. There is also a family shower room, with both the shower room and en suite.

King Henry’s Road is located just off Topsham Road, providing easy access to Exeter city centre and Exeter School. There is a convenience store close-by on Topsham Road and also a popular coffee house. Exeter city centre offers an excellent selection of cultural activities, with the theatre, museum, arts centre and a wealth of good shopping, restaurants, pubs and cafés. The M5 provides road links towards Bristol to the north, while the A38 runs south towards Plymouth, and the A30 towards Cornwall. There are regular rail services to London Paddington from Exeter, taking just over two hours. Exeter International Airport provides an ever-increasing number of domestic and international flights including twice daily flights to London City.

At the front of the house there is an in/out driveway, with off-road parking for up to five cars in total, and access to the single garage, which provides further parking and storage space towards the rear. The front garden has a variety of shrubs and plants in raised beds, while the attractive rear garden, which has been re-landscaped, includes paved and gravel terracing, an area of lawn and an array of shrubs, hedgerows and trees. The courtyard accessed off the kitchen has space for a patio set and is a perfect morning sun spot.
