Pure Devon! A very spacious, detached house in the beautiful Burn Valley, only 10 miles north of Exeter, with a large, established garden and surrounded by countryside.
A perfect rural location, ideal for commuting.
Dovecote was originally a small rural bungalow and was developed dramatically by the previous owner, for their own occupation, from 2004 to 2012, to provide the extensive and versatile family accommodation on offer today.
From the Exe Valley main road, narrow lanes lead along the Burn Valley and up to the house, which occupies an elevated and secluded position amidst rolling farmland. The private gravel drive and high hedges afford good privacy and lead to the parking area in front of the house. Once inside, the spacious reception hall, with a useful study to one side for home working, gives access through to the light and spacious kitchen and reception rooms. The video tour shows the full story, with the large kitchen/breakfast room and adjoining dining room being the social hub of the house and a hive of activity, open-plan and with a breakfast bar between. The kitchen is fitted in a classic, light Shaker style, with integral appliances. Tiled and very practical flooring extends through the two rooms and double doors from the dining room open onto the raised terrace, overlooking the pretty gardens and with a southerly, sunny aspect, perfect for summer barbecues or relaxing in the peace and quiet.
Beside the kitchen, there is a large family/TV room with a wood burner, attractive oak flooring and doors to the terrace. Steps lead down to the sitting room, a very light and spacious, triple aspect room, with a fire and glazed doors to outside.
The bedroom accommodation is arranged over two floors. The first floor has two large bedroom suites, one with a large bath/shower room, with a white suite of bath, shower cubicle, two sinks, a bidet and WC, and a generous dressing room, fully fitted with wardrobes. The second suite has a sitting/study area, bedroom and en suite shower room and would make an ideal space for a teenager, with space for doing some homework and chillin'! From the landing, there is a third bedroom overlooking the garden, and a family shower room.
The two second floor bedrooms are light and airy with Velux windows, with views all around, and between them, another shower room, with white suite.
Outside, adjoining the drive, there is a large garage/workshop, with light and power, with a veggie garden and greenhouse beyond. The main garden area is at the rear of the house, with sunshine for the best part of the day, and is very established with pretty flower and shrub gardens adjoining the terrace. These give way to a large expanse of lawn with mature trees and border hedges, great for children to play or the keen gardener.
Whilst offering the best of rural Devon, Dovecote lies just over 3 miles from the large and popular village of Silverton, with a good range of local amenities, including a primary school, village shop and post office, doctor's surgery, pubs and churches. The thriving cathedral city of Exeter, 10 miles to the south, offers a full range of shopping, education and recreation facilities.
Exeter and Exeter St. Davids Station c. 10 miles.
Junction 28 M5 c. 6 miles.
Tiverton Parkway Station c. 13 miles.

Taunton c. 26 miles.
To conclude, Dovecote really does offer it all, for those looking for a relatively modern, easy to maintain house, in a rural, yet very convenient location.
