Description

This property offers a spacious entrance hall that leads into a versatile living space. The triple-aspect sitting room is filled with natural light and overlooks the garden, creating an inviting atmosphere. Adjacent to this area is the dining room, which connects to a well-equipped kitchen featuring ample cupboard space, an electric hob, and a separate oven and grill. While the kitchen serves its purpose effectively, it presents an opportunity for modernization, allowing new owners to tailor it to their taste. Accessed from the kitchen is a practical lean-to area, perfect for storing bicycles and gardening tools, with entrances to both front and rear gardens. A staircase from the entrance hall guides you to a generous landing that services four bedrooms and provides access to the loft. The principal bedroom stands out with its dual aspect, ensuring abundant sunlight throughout the day. Additionally, there are three more bedrooms—one double and two singles—each equipped with built-in storage solutions. The family bathroom on this level also has potential for updating. A notable feature of this home is the sun terrace accessible from the landing, which enjoys a desirable south-west facing aspect. Outside, you'll find a gated driveway accommodating at least two vehicles leading to a garage with an up-and-over door. The expansive rear garden spans approximately 70ft and is divided into two distinct sections; it boasts direct access from both the sitting room and lean-to area. Immediately off the house, a patio invites relaxed outdoor moments while enjoying views of the landscaped lawn bordered by mature shrubs. Further beyond lies another garden section historically utilized as a vegetable plot, complete with fruit trees—a reminder of its productive past. The front garden adds curb appeal with its well-maintained lawn and shrub borders while providing convenience qualities such as an outdoor tap. This property has been cared for by its current owners but does present several areas where modern improvements can enhance value. Situated in a sought-after area close to local amenities including shops, cafés, healthcare facilities, and schools makes it ideal for families or those looking for rental opportunities. Regular bus services connect conveniently to Exeter city centre and nearby locations such as Topsham with its scenic waterways and cycle paths along the Exe estuary. Countess Wear itself offers essential village conveniences like parks and community spaces while being just two miles from Exeter's vibrant city life. With good transport links including easy access to major roadways such as M5 and A380, commuting is straightforward leading to potential investment appeal given the ongoing development in the area.
