This fabulous, detached house occupies a superb, elevated position on the northern fringes of Exeter within a short distance of the University campus and a little further to the City Centre. There are numerous protected countryside walks nearby, including along the Duryard and stoke valley. The predominant elevation faces south and commands spectacular views over the city and beyond, drawing your eye along the Duryard Valley towards Haldon Hill in the distance.
The accommodation has been cleverly and expertly extended by the present owners who have added a large, open plan, living/family room with a log burner and underfloor heating. There are full height glazed doors opening onto a terrace enjoying spectacular views.
The modern kitchen is well fitted and includes an excellent range of fitted appliances by Siemens and Fisher and Paykel. In addition to a useful utility recess with space and plumbing for a washing machine. The space also houses a wall mounted gas fired combination boiler providing central heating and hot water.
Bedroom two is a very well-proportioned double on the ground floor, with dual-aspect windows facing north and east. Bedroom three has been cleverly fitted as a home office, this includes an excellent range of fitted bookshelf storage, matching the extensive fitted units in the main reception room. Lastly, there is a ground floor family bathroom, with great proportions.
The first floor is a luxury loft conversion, incorporating a Master Bedroom with three Velux roof windows providing excellent levels of natural light and offering epic views to the south. There are two walk-in wardrobes, and close by is a modern family bathroom with a modern, matching suite.
The gardens are a delight, are extremely mature, and have been cleverly terraced for ease of maintenance and to maximise use. There are three level areas, all enjoying lovely views and a fabulous southerly aspect. Argyll Road is a highly desirable location, with little passing traffic and well-established neighbours. There is a single garage accessed from the road and private parking for two vehicles.
