22 AMETHYST DRIVE

** ** A rare opportunity to purchase a modern, detached, five-bedroom family home, with a garage and enclosed rear garden, in a recent development on the outskirts of the seaside town of Teignmouth.

A paved path leads to the entrance beneath a storm porch, beside the front garden with wood-chipped beds of hardy shrubs. Inside, the hallway has porcelain floor tiles which give a sense of luxury and elegance, and there is a handy storage cupboard and a ground-floor cloakroom with a WC and basin.

The kitchen/breakfast room, is fabulous, with an extensive range of modern, gloss wood-effect, high and low-level units, plenty of worktop space, and a handy under-stairs cupboard. There is ample room for a table and seating, perfect for informal dining or a cup of tea and a chat with the neighbours, and an external door leads to the garden. It doesn't just look good, it is well-equipped too, with a built-in double oven, separate five-burner gas hob and extractor hood, and integrated appliances including a dishwasher, washing machine and fridge freezer. A door leads into the separate dining room, filled with light from glazed panels and French doors to the garden, it is perfect for a dinner party or family celebration. Elegant glazed doors lead into the good-sized living room, which feels warm with plush carpet underfoot, and has a mock-fireplace, fitted with a contemporary electric fire, which makes a nice feature and focal point for the room.

Upstairs, on the first floor, is the master bedroom, with a double fitted wardrobe and an en-suite shower room, part-tiled with a shower, WC and basin. There are two further light and airy double bedrooms, with views over the garden, trees and countryside beyond, and a family bathroom, with stylish tiling to dado height, containing a modern white suite comprising bath with a shower attachment, a pedestal basin and a WC. Another staircase leads to the top floor where there are two further double bedrooms, one with a wardrobe and en-suite shower room, and both with dormer windows and Velux skylights providing plenty of light and far-reaching views over rooftops to Shaldon, The Ness and the sea and coastline beyond.

Outside, the rear garden is fully enclosed so is safe for children and pets, it has a paved patio and a gently sloping lawn. A path at one side has a gate to the front of the property, and the garage at the side is larger than most, long enough for two cars, with lights and power, an up and over door and storage above in the rafters. A tarmac driveway provides additional parking for one car and more parking is available on-road.
