Description

This attractive detached family home features four bedrooms and beautifully appointed accommodation, with clean, neutral styling complementing elegant detailing such as wooden parquet flooring, cornicing and ceiling roses.

The main ground floor living and entertaining area is the sitting room and dining room, which are adjoined in a semi open-plan layout. The dining room has a large bay window welcoming plenty of natural light and affording views across the gardens and beyond, while the sitting room has windows to the front and rear, as well as a fireplace.

Further rooms in which to relax include the sun room with its panoramic windows and French doors opening onto the rear garden, as well as the play room or studio. This light and airy space has skylights overhead and is ideal for use as a home working space, or a private play area for children.

Additionally, the ground floor has a well-equipped kitchen with modern units to base and wall level, as well as integrated appliances. There is space for a breakfast table for informal dining, with the adjoining utility room providing further space for appliances and home storage. Upstairs there are four comfortable bedrooms, including a generous
principal bedroom with a triple aspect. Two of the bedrooms benefit from built-in storage. The first floor also has a family bathroom with a bathtub and a separate shower unit.

Garden and grounds
At the front of the house, the block-paved driveway provides plenty of parking space and access to the integrated garage, which can be used for further parking or as a storage and workshop space.

The garden at the rear is southeast-facing and welcomes plenty of sunlight throughout the day. It includes patio areas across the back of the house for al fresco dining, as well as lawns border by mature trees, established hedgerows and various shrubs. Additionally, the garden has three sheds and a timber-framed summer house with its own sun deck.The property is in a sought-after position, within a mile of Exmouth town centre and seafront, yet backing onto beautiful open countryside.

Exmouth enjoys a beautiful coastal position on Devon's south coast, where the River Exe meets the sea. The town is a traditional resort with a promenade, elegant Georgian architecture, and a bustling centre. There is a diverse selection of shops, places to eat and things to do, including top quality water sports such as windsurfing and kite surfing, and fantastic routes for cycling and walking. The town has a two-mile sandy beach and a popular marina as well as a train station with a direct line to Exeter.

There is also a good selection of primary, secondary and private schools. For keen walkers there is access nearby to many miles of coastal path starting at 'The Needle' at Orcombe Point, which denotes the start of the World Heritage coastline.

The Exe Estuary has been designated an 'Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty' and offers further exceptional walks and a cycle path leading to Lympstone. There is also a cycle path to Budleigh Salterton. The opportunities to enjoy a variety of water sports in addition to equestrian and golfing pursuits in the area are also plentiful.

The Cathedral City of Exeter is only 12 miles away with its intercity railway station, international airport, connection to the M5 motorway and great business and retail opportunities with a modern shopping precinct, speciality boutiques, open air markets, restaurants, cafés and wine bar

  • Gross yield — Annual rent as % of purchase price (no costs).
  • Cost-to-rent — Price ÷ annual rent (from OpenRent comparables). Under 14× = strong, 14–16× = acceptable, 17×+ = compressed.
  • Cashflow — Rent minus mortgage, 10% maintenance, £25/mo compliance. Assumes 75% LTV, 3.95% APR (5yr fixed), 25yr term.
