A rare opportunity to purchase a superb, substantial, detached family residence with four double bedrooms, master en-suite, ample parking and surrounding garden, off Old Rydon Lane in Exeter.

Inside, this unique property is well presented with light and neutral décor throughout, feels warm and welcoming with gas central heating and double glazing, and is very spacious providing acres of living space, perfect for a large family.

On the ground floor a porch leads into an entrance hall with a staircase to the first floor, a cupboard beneath, and a large cloakroom with a WC and basin, a cupboard, an airing cupboard, and a boiler cupboard containing a large condensing combi-boiler for the central heating and hot water. A generously proportioned separate dining room is flooded with light from triple-aspect windows and sliding patio doors to the garden and has a modern living-flame gas fire making a nice feature. There is plenty of room for a table and seating for even the largest of families, perfect for a dinner party or a family celebration. Across the hallway, an enormous living room has dual-aspect windows and feels warm and welcoming despite its generous proportions, with a library on one side, with bookshelves on all walls and skylights in its high vaulted ceiling, and a wonderful sitting room with dual-aspect windows and French doors to the garden. Completing the ground floor is a modern kitchen/breakfast room which has beautiful solid stone worktops and an extensive range of fitted units, including a huge island with a breakfast bar and integrated fridge. There is an integrated dishwasher, space for a range cooker with a filter hood above, and in a separate utility room there is more worktop and storage, a sink, a door to the garden, and space for a large American-style fridge/freezer.

Upstairs, the master bedroom is stunning, with a high vaulted ceiling, a tiled floor with under-floor heating, and loads of light from two skylights and French doors leading onto a roof terrace. There are built-in wardrobes providing an abundance of clothes storage, and a superb en-suite wetroom which has his and hers basins and twin showers, a WC and a chrome heated towel rail. There are three further light and airy bedrooms all excellent doubles with wash-hand basins for convenience, two having fitted wardrobes. A family bathroom has a bath, a separate shower, a modern circular basin and a WC, and off the landing there is eaves storage and an additional cupboard.

Outside, the garden is level, large, sunny, and fully enclosed by double-gates, making it safe for both children and pets. It is beautifully maintained with an extensive area of block-paving providing ample parking, with a circular pond and fountain at its centre, flanked by neatly-edged lawns, and at the side of the property is a private and secluded paved patio, a fabulous venue for entertaining, be it alfresco dining or a barbecue. A timber summer house makes a wonderful artist's studio, there is a greenhouse, an outside tap and splash-proof power points, and at the rear of the property is an additional gravel driveway with double gates onto Old Rydon Lane, providing auxiliary parking for up to three cars, a boat or a caravan perhaps.
