Description
Situated within the ever-popular Monkerton area of Exeter, this beautifully presented four-bedroom detached home offers spacious and versatile accommodation, perfectly suited to modern family life. Positioned on a quiet road within the sought-after Taylor Wimpey development, the property enjoys a peaceful setting whilst remaining incredibly well connected for schools, commuting and local amenities. Offered to the market with no onward chain, this is a fantastic opportunity for buyers looking for a smooth move.
The double-fronted design instantly gives the home an attractive and balanced appearance, with a welcoming entrance hallway setting the tone as soon as you step inside. To one side of the property is a generous lounge, a fantastic space for relaxing or entertaining, with direct access onto the fully enclosed rear garden, creating a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor living.
On the opposite side of the home is the impressive kitchen-diner, designed with open-plan living in mind and undoubtedly acting as the hub of the house. The space flows naturally into a useful utility area, helping to keep day-to-day family life organised and practical, whilst a downstairs WC adds further convenience.
Upstairs, the property continues to impress with four genuine double bedrooms with fitted storage, ideal for growing families or those needing additional work-from-home space. The master bedroom benefits from its own en-suite shower room, whilst the remaining bedrooms are serviced by the family bathroom.
Outside, the enclosed rear garden provides a safe and private environment for children or pets, whilst the quiet position within the development adds to the family-friendly feel of the home. There is a gate leading to the driveway for two / three cars plus garage.
The location is a huge advantage, sitting just a stone’s throw from the highly regarded Monkerton Primary School and within easy walking distance of St Luke’s Secondary School, making this an excellent choice for families looking to secure a home within a desirable school catchment. The property also offers convenient access to the M5, the Science Park and the Met Office, making it equally appealing for professionals commuting in and around the city.
