4 bed semi-detached house for sale

Bullen Street, Thorverton, Exeter EX5

Description

A lovely cottage surprisingly spacious and beautifully maintained by the current owners as a family home over many years.

A well-proportioned and immaculately presented property with a light and airy feel with good height ceilings and fitted with quality fixtures and fittings.

The property also benefits from a well designed, modern extension to the rear.

Entering the cottage there is a light and generous entrance hall with an understairs cupboard. On the right is a study with built in desks stretching the length of the room with a number of fitted cupboards on both sides, providing a lovely large space for working from home.

The cosy sitting room has attractive window seats, an alcove and wall cupboard and a feature inglenook fireplace of Thorverton stone with a red tiled hearth.

There is a gas log burning stove which makes the room very cosy in the winter months.

The attractive kitchen at the rear of the cottage has hand crafted bespoke cupboards in a traditional style with plenty of room to cook, dine and socialise.

There are solid Iroko wood worktops which offer food preparation areas on either side of the modern four ring induction hob, double fridge freezer, washing machine, dish washer and larder.

Behind the gates is a covered yard which is a very useful storage area and has a feature trough with plants, and provides access to the rear of the property.

On the first floor are three double bedrooms and a potential fourth currently used as a further reception and dining area with double aspect French doors into the garden.

At the front of the house the two bedrooms have traditional ledge and brace doors and window seats.

Bedroom two also has extensive modern fitted wardrobes and an attractive traditional Victorian fireplace.

Each of the bedrooms have wood flooring with bedroom three benefitting from original floorboards.

The main bedroom is a generous size and currently accommodates a king sized bed, has large fitted wardrobes and cupboards, a very attractive ensuite bathroom and a small sauna.

The bedroom also has French doors leading out to the decking area and the beautiful garden.

The modern family bathroom is fitted with a good shower and a high-quality German Bette bath.

A built-in airing cupboard houses the gas boiler providing the property with gas central heating throughout and over this bathroom is a mezzanine floor where the loft space is reached via a ladder.

The rear garden is secluded and private despite being in the centre of the village and benefits from being south facing enjoying the sun throughout the day, with the terrace providing a very good-sized entertaining space.

There are many mature plants in the cottage style garden, two areas of lawn, a shed, a greenhouse, numerous fruit trees, a vegetable patch and a gate leading to a road at the rear via an adjoining driveway.

There are lovely distant views from the garden over the rooftops of the village and towards woodlands some miles away.
