Full Description

Description:

This attractive and well appointed chalet style house offers well proportioned accommodation with the flexibility to create a separate ground floor annexe for an independent relative, subject to a few alterations. Either way this is an individual family sized property situated in a rather special location backing onto open fields. In fact, from the rear, the views are quite spectacular encompassing level fields and wooded hillsides in the distance.

NB. Should additional bedroom accommodation be required then it is worth noting that planning permission has been granted to build over the two flat roof extensions.

Location:

This fine property is situated on the northern outskirts of the city and within just two miles of the city centre. The property also enjoys the convenience of being within close proximity of an Esso service station with shop, St David’s main line railway station (Exeter to Paddington) and easy access to Crediton, Tiverton and the regions of North Devon. A regular bus service to and from the city centre is available within close proximity.

The Cathedral city of Exeter, offers a magnificent array of shopping facilities, ranging from major department stores to specialised boutiques, plus countless bars and restaurants not to mention cinemas, theatres, recreational activities and a thriving nightlife.

Of late, the city has experienced considerable economic growth, assisted by the relocation of Met Office and other major companies. Exeter is also benefiting considerably from the new city centre retail and commercial developments in Princesshay and there is also the proposed expansion of Exeter’s International Airport which lies just five miles east of the city centre. This airport is recognised as an important gateway offering numerous European flights, trans-Atlantic connections and holiday charter flights.

Exeter also offers excellent rail and road links including the main line services to London (Paddington & Waterloo), the Midlands and the North of England. The M5, together with the A30 and A38, provide excellent communication links to the East and North as well as Devon and the neighbouring counties of Cornwall, Somerset and Dorset.
