4 bed detached house for sale

Old Pinn Lane, Pinhoe, Exeter EX1

Description

Ashley House is a beautifully presented and recently modernised family home, offering spacious and versatile living in a peaceful enclave on Pinn Lane. Having undergone extensive renovation, the property now combines stylish contemporary finishes with practical family-friendly design, ideal for modern living, entertaining, and home working.

A double-glazed sliding door opens into a tiled entrance area, leading to a welcoming reception hallway with polished tiled flooring and a patterned glass front door. There is useful understairs storage and a turning staircase with sleek glass balustrades rising to the first floor. A well-appointed cloakroom with a large basin, WC, and patterned glass window, alongside a separate cloaks cupboard.

The sitting room is a generous, comfortable reception space, featuring a contemporary gas fire with ambient lighting and built-in shelving. The room opens directly into a conservatory, offering additional living space and lovely views over the garden.

At the heart of the home lies the stunning kitchen/family room — a true focal point that has been thoughtfully designed for both daily life and entertaining. The luxury kitchen is fitted with quartz worktops, high gloss cabinetry, and a large central island with a breakfast bar and deep storage drawers. Integrated Neff appliances include two electric ovens, a microwave, induction hob, dishwasher, and full-height fridge and freezer, along with a pull-out larder unit. The kitchen enjoys a dual aspect with a front-facing window and double doors leading outside. There is ample space for relaxed seating, making it a perfect spot for informal gatherings, as well as a generous dining area overlooking the rear garden. High quality polished tiled flooring runs throughout.

A glazed oak door leads from the dining area into a peaceful home office — a quiet retreat ideal for remote working — with two windows and a sliding glass door opening onto the garden.

Adjacent to the kitchen, a rear lobby offers space for an American-style fridge freezer and provides access to the utility room, fitted with a sink, gloss cabinetry, laundry appliance space, and the boiler. Tiled flooring continues throughout, and a part-glazed door leads outside.

From the rear lobby, a further door opens into the fully equipped high specification Dolby Atmos Cinema Room with 122" Remote Retractable Screen — a spacious, fully soundproofed room currently used for media, but equally suitable as a games room, gym or additional ground floor bedroom, with blackout blinds fitted to the windows at both front and rear.

Upstairs, the galleried landing features a fitted linen cupboard, a loft hatch, and a front-facing window.

The principal bedroom is a light-filled, dual-aspect double room with a comprehensive range of fitted furniture including wardrobes, dressing table, and drawers. Its luxurious en suite boasts a walk-in shower with recessed shelving and automatic lighting, a sleek wall-mounted basin with storage, WC, and stylish tiling with a heated towel rail.

There are three further generously sized double bedrooms. Bedroom two overlooks the front, while bedroom three benefits from a dual aspect. Bedroom four is an ideal guest suite with views over the rear garden and its own high-end en suite featuring a walk-in shower, basin with storage, WC, and premium tiled finishes.

The family bathroom is fitted with a modern white suite comprising a panelled bath with mains shower, vanity basin, WC, and chrome towel rail, with tasteful part-tiled walls and a patterned glass window.

Outside, the property is approached via a shared driveway serving just three homes, leading to a large private block-paved drive with parking for at least seven cars. The front garden is laid to lawn with mature borders, and there’s additional hardstanding to the side — ideal for storing a caravan, trailer, or boat — as well as a garden shed.

A recently constructed double garage provides secure parking for two vehicles, with power, lighting, a remote-controlled door, and side access via a part-glazed door and window.

The rear garden offers superb privacy and seclusion. Thoughtfully landscaped, it features elegant porcelain-tiled terraces ideal for outdoor dining and entertaining, complete with ambient lighting. The rest of the garden is lawned with established planting, making it a welcoming and low-maintenance space for all ages.
