4 bed detached house for sale

Monkerton, Exeter EX1

Description

Tucked away in a popular cul-de-sac and ideally positioned for Pinhoe’s train station and doctors’ surgery, this attractive detached family home offers generous accommodation extending to approximately 1,595 sq ft. The property benefits from being positioned above the neighbouring properties meaning that it is not overlooked from the rear.

While the property would benefit from modernisation, it features spacious, well-proportioned rooms throughout. The ground floor includes a welcoming entrance hall, cloakroom and WC, a 19ft sitting room with a striking open brick fireplace and double doors to the rear garden, a separate dining room also opening onto the garden, a kitchen/breakfast room, and a useful utility room.

Upstairs, there are four bedrooms and a family bathroom. The principal bedroom benefits from an en-suite shower room and a walk-in wardrobe.

Outside, a private brick-paved driveway provides parking for at least three cars, leading to a double garage. The rear garden is mainly laid to lawn with established shrub borders and a fenced surround, extending all the way around the house and providing rear access to the garage, offering a safe and private outdoor space.

Offered to the market with no onward chain, this property presents an excellent opportunity to acquire a substantial detached home close to well-regarded local schools and amenities.

Agents Note

The Central Heating system is supplied from the gas boiler, recently replaced (2024). There is a supply pipe to the lounge fireplace, but it is currently capped-off as the fire in-situ is not believed to meet modern regulations.

Hot Water - Provided from the gas boiler, independently of the Central Heating, via a hot water tank in the airing cupboard upstairs. There is also a back-up electric immersion heater in that tank, although currently disconnected as in need of repair, so as to provide Hot Water if the gas boiler is off.
