Situation - Ide is a picturesque village just two miles south west of Exeter, with easy access to the city, the A30 and the M5 motorway. The beautiful setting of Ide offers a wide range of properties from striking, architect-designed homes through to charming period thatched cottages, surrounded by active farmland. The strong and favoured community is a draw for all ages, providing community shops and groups, two pubs and primary school. The university and cathedral city of Exeter (5 miles) provides a wide range of facilities befitting a centre of its importance including excellent dining, shopping, theatre, recreational and sporting pursuits. Exeter has mainline railway stations to Waterloo and Paddington and Exeter international airport. There is excellent access to the A38 with the A30 and M5 also within easy reach.
Description - Orchard House is an exceptional family home, occupying a slightly elevated position on the edge of the village, yet within an easy walk of all amenities, with views over Ide Community Orchard. The property has recently undergone a comprehensive refurbishment, and now incorporates contemporary design and modern family life. Recent attributes include a stylish kitchen and superb bathroom suites, along with loft conversion. Outside there is plenty of parking, a detached double garage, area of lawn and spacious patio.
Accommodation - There is a covered entrance porch opening into the reception hall, with stairs to first floor and Karndean herringbone flooring, which continues through the ground floor apart from the sitting room. The kitchen/dining/family room runs the length of the westerly elevation and has been thoughtfully designed with natural divides, whilst still providing the benefits of open plan and modern family living with glazed double doors opening seamlessly to the outside dining space. The stylish kitchen is well-equipped with a central island and appliances, including oven, combination oven microwave, induction hob and dishwasher. The dining area includes fitted shelving. There is a superb double aspect sitting room, approached from both the reception hall and double doors from the family room, with a wood burner on a slate hearth. Completing the ground floor is the cloakroom and utility/boot room fitted with a further range of units, sink and space for laundry appliances.
A turning staircase leads to the first floor where there are four beautifully presented bedrooms all benefitting from large windows providing plenty of natural light. The spacious double aspect principal suite includes an en suite shower room, with a large walk-in rainfall shower. The fourth bedroom is currently used as a dressing room. There is a well-presented family bathroom including a stand-alone bath and separate shower. A further staircase leads to the second floor, comprising guest bedroom with Velux windows and an en suite shower room. There is also a spacious storage cupboard.
Outside - Approached to the front by a gently sloping driveway which provides ample parking and detached double garage beyond. The garage has twin up and over doors, window to side and rear pedestrian door to the side, along with power and light connected. There is a gate to the far side opening to a small gravelled yard area and pathway around to the rear garden. The garden wraps arounds the south westerly elevation with an extensive paved level patio area, which has some attractive shrub borders, providing a perfect location for relaxing and enjoying the sunshine. From here the patio links to the rear garden, which is predominantly laid to lawn, with a raised area, which is a remnant of the old railway from many years ago. The boundaries are a combination of timber fencing and mature hedging.
Services - All mains services are connected. Gas-fired central heating.
Directions - From Exeter proceed southwards on the A377/Alphington Road. At the A30 roundabout take the 2nd exit signposted to Ide. Continue on the A377 turning left into the village of Ide.
