3 bed detached house for sale

Carrick Mill, Topsham, Exeter EX3

A truly outstanding three-bedroom detached home, built by the highly regarded Strongvox to exacting standards, offering an a-rated energy performance. Rarely available, this beautifully presented property combines the character of a traditional thatched roof with the benefits of a modern build. Set within a thoughtfully designed development where houses of individual style surround a landscaped central park, this home enjoys open outlooks, exceptional presentation, and a location that provides both tranquillity and excellent connectivity.

Description Approached through a neatly planted front garden, the property is entered via a covered storm porch into a welcoming hallway, where a cloakroom is conveniently placed. From here, the layout unfolds with an emphasis on light and flow. The kitchen and dining room are arranged in a generous open-plan style. The kitchen is fitted with a timeless grey shaker design, complemented by white marble-effect worktops and integrated appliances, including a double eye-level oven. A window above the sink enjoys views across the green park to the front, while the dining area to the rear opens through bi-fold doors directly into the garden. An under-stairs cupboard provides practical storage. Opposite, the sitting room is a spacious, dual-aspect room with a large window to the front overlooking the park and French doors to the rear patio and garden. At its heart sits a modern decorative electric fire, giving warmth and a central focal point.

Upstairs are three well-proportioned bedrooms. The principal bedroom is fitted with built-in mirrored wardrobes and enjoys a stylish en suite with a large shower, vanity basin, and modern tiling in soft grey tones. The second bedroom also includes fitted mirrored wardrobes, while the third is a comfortable and versatile room. A contemporary family bathroom completes the accommodation, featuring a bath with shower above, wall-mounted basin, and w.c. The property is finished throughout to a very high standard, combining character and comfort with exceptional energy efficiency.

Garden and grounds The rear garden is a particularly attractive feature of the property, enjoying a sought-after southerly aspect. Beautifully landscaped, it is filled with mature shrubs, flowering plants, and colourful borders. A wide patio runs across the back of the house, partially sheltered by a veranda fitted with electric blinds, creating an inviting space that connects seamlessly with the interior.

A central pathway extends down the garden to a summer house, which is both insulated and supplied with electricity, enabling use in all seasons. The garden is enclosed and private, with side access as well as a rear gate leading to the garage and parking area. The design of the outdoor space balances practicality with careful planting and detail, creating a garden of genuine charm and year-round appeal.

Location The property enjoys a highly convenient setting, positioned off Newcourt Road and within comfortable walking distance of Topsham's historic centre. Topsham is widely regarded as one of the most desirable places to live in Devon, offering a unique mix of independent shops, boutiques, cafés, and restaurants, alongside a strong sense of community. The town also benefits from a railway station with regular services to Exeter and Exmouth, enhancing its accessibility.

The Exe Estuary, a haven for wildlife and water-based activities, lies close by, while the award-winning Darts Farm Village provides outstanding local produce, farm shops, and leisure facilities. Exeter's city centre is within easy reach, with its extensive range of shopping, cultural attractions, and mainline rail connections, while the coastline at Exmouth offers sandy beaches and coastal walks.

This property combines the peaceful charm of a beautifully designed development with the convenience of excellent local amenities, transport links, and leisure opportunities, making its location particularly appealing.
