26 West Avenue is a substantial detached family home that features handsome red brick elevations, and more than 4,000 square feet of comfortable, flexible living space, while outside there is a splendid southeast-facing garden.
The ground floor offers four well-presented reception rooms, all of which look out onto the sunny garden at the side. There is a dual aspect family room which welcomes plenty of natural light, a sitting room with French doors opening onto the shaded patio, and a drawing room, which adjoins the sitting room in a semi open-plan layout.
There is also a formal dining room with an impressive open fireplace, wooden parquet flooring and space for a large family dining table. Also on the ground floor is an shaped, 28ft kitchen and breakfast room with painted wooden kitchen units, a central island and integrated appliances.
The breakfast area offers space for a breakfast table for informal dining, while there are also French doors onto the patio and garden at the rear.
The first floor has a spacious landing, which provides access to the property's well-proportioned bedrooms. These include the dual aspect principal bedroom, which benefits from a large dressing room and an en suite bathroom.
The five remaining bedrooms have access to two first-floor family bathrooms and an additional WC. There is also a useful shower room on the ground floor.
At the front of the property, the garden has various established shrubs and hedgerows, while access for vehicles is via the block-paved driveway, which offers plenty of parking space.
There is also a garage and a carport for further parking or home storage. The garden to the side is southeast-facing and includes a splendid paved terrace area, which is partially shaded by a wooden pergola with climbing wisteria. There is also an area of level lawn and well-stocked flowerbeds.
At the rear of the house there is a further area of lawn and an additional patio, which is ideal for al fresco dining. The garden is bordered and enclosed by established hedgerow and mature trees, creating a sense of privacy from neighbouring properties.
The property is in the lower Pennsylvania suburb of Exeter, within easy reach of local amenities and with the beautiful Devon countryside just moments away.
This area of Exeter has a wide range of everyday amenities, including local shops, supermarkets, pubs, cafés, restaurants, doctor's surgeries and pharmacies. Exeter city centre is less than half a mile away, and offers a wide choice of cultural activities, with the theatre, museum, arts centre and a wealth of good shopping and restaurants, including John Lewis.
