24 HELE ROAD

This 1920’s “Arts and Crafts” style family home has recently undergone a complete programme of refurbishment and now offers stylish and spacious family accommodation in abundance, whilst retaining many original period features. The property is situated in a delightful, mature and elevated location towards the outskirts of Bradninch and enjoys some superb far-reaching views. The ground floor accommodation comprises a generous hall and W.C., study/snug that was previously used as a dining room and a wonderful open plan kitchen/dining/family room which really is the heart of the home. Just off the kitchen is a useful utility space. On the first floor is a very spacious principal bedroom, two further double bedrooms, a comprehensively refitted family bathroom and an extraordinarily generous landing which could provide further office space for home working. Outside is an absolute delight with the mature front and rear gardens being east-west facing and of an exceptionally generous size for a growing family, whilst also offering plenty of storage in the form of a newly installed summer house and garden shed. An early inspection is advised for those seeking a wonderfully modernised period home within the ever popular Dutchy Town of Bradninch.
 
 
The house is located within a short walk of the Post Office Stores and Duchy primary school with frequent bus service to Exeter and Cullompton with its range of High Street Shops and Supermarkets. Cullompton also offers secondary schooling, two doctors surgeries, library and sports centre. The surrounding countryside offers a wealth of rural pursuits with the nearby Blackdown Hills being designated as an area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The thriving Cathedral City of Exeter lies about 20 minutes to the south with its extensive High Street Shops, Princesshay Shopping Mall and many leisure pursuits. The comparatively central Mid Devon location places the spectacular National Parks of Dartmoor and Exmoor together with the north and south Devon coastlines all within a modest car journey.

Outside
 
 
The property is set in a mature, elevated setting and set well back from Hele Road, approached up a small run of brick steps into the generous Front Garden which is principally laid to lawn with the surrounding flower beds housing established shrubs and flowers and specimen magnolia, ornamental cherry and Amelanchier trees. There is a Timber Log Store and Composting Area in the front garden. The front garden is enclosed on two sides with perimeter fencing and a pedestrian walk-way provides gated access to the rear garden. The west facing Rear Garden is an absolute delight and has been beautifully landscaped to provide an extensive area of patio seating outside the main living space, providing a fantastic opportunity for alfresco entertaining. A small run of steps leads up to the rest of the garden which is principally laid to lawn and interspersed with some lovely raised borders featuring a variety of perennials and bulbs, climbing roses and clematis and a herb border. There are also a number of further seating areas to enjoy the sun along the length of the garden throughout the day. The whole is very generous in size and provides a wonderful opportunity for those wanting to grow their own produce. To the rear of the garden is a small area of Kitchen Garden including established blackcurrant and jostaberry bushes. The garden also features a number of fruit trees—including pear, plum and crab apple, along with a Garden Shed. There is also a real surprise to be found in the modern Summer House recently constructed by the owners, which currently houses a Sauna (available by separate negotiation) with full light and power and a Workshop in the rear portion.
