4 bed detached house for sale

Manor Cottage, Haldon Hill, Exeter EX6

Description

This exceptional detached property, originally a traditional barn believed to date back to the 1970s, has been thoughtfully converted and extended on two occasions, resulting in over 2,300 sqft of deceptively spacious accommodation. The current owners have tastefully modernised the home, blending original character with contemporary design.

The double aspect sitting room features a wood burner and ample natural light, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. The L-shaped kitchen/dining room is equipped with a stylish System Six fitted kitchen, including a Quooker tap, two Neff ovens, induction hob, integrated fridge freezer, and Neff dishwasher. Both rooms open onto a stunning paved Mediterranean-style internal courtyard, offering privacy and an ideal space for al fresco dining.

The entrance hall, with oak flooring, leads to a triple aspect bedroom and a fourth bedroom with an en suite shower room. A short flight of stairs leads down to the reception hall, a lovely double aspect room with a multi-fuel stove, providing a cosy central space.

The first floor includes a spacious bedroom and dressing room, along with a family bathroom featuring a clawfoot bath, separate shower cubicle, WC, wash hand basin, and a linen cupboard. The principal bedroom suite, accessible via a separate staircase, offers a dressing room and attractive views over the grounds and woodland beyond. An adjacent substantial shower room adds to the suite's appeal.

Outside, the private driveway leads to a detached garage with an electric roller door and additional parking. The gardens, extending around 0.7 acres, feature gently sloping lawns interspersed with flower and shrub borders. A kitchen garden is protected from deer by a cage, ensuring a fruitful harvest.

A detached garden office, currently utilised as a games room, includes provisions for a kitchenette, making it ideal for various uses. Two small storage buildings at the rear of the house provide additional storage solutions.

This property offers a unique blend of rural charm and modern living, with meticulous attention to detail throughout. Its expansive grounds, stylish interiors, and versatile outbuildings make it a rare find in the market.
