Description

An impressive detached dormer bungalow offering spacious and flexible accommodation across two floors, perfectly suited to growing families or those seeking generous living space in a sought-after Exeter location. The property boasts five well-appointed bedrooms, a comfortable living room, a stylish modern kitchen and a versatile dining room/conservatory that floods the home with natural light. The conservatory extension benefits from specialist climate-control glass, designed to retain heat during the colder months while remaining cool in the summer, and is finished with Spanish porcelain tiles that further enhance warmth and comfort. In addition to the family bathroom, there is a separate shower room, ensuring convenience for everyday living.

The modern kitchen was newly installed in 2017 and features high-quality quartz worktops, a Rangemaster gas hob with electric oven, integrated dishwasher and Quooker boiling-water tap, creating a practical yet stylish hub for family life.

This provides a secure and peaceful outdoor space ideal for children, pets and alfresco entertaining. From the property's elevated position there are far-reaching views over the surrounding neighbourhood and beyond, adding to the appeal of this unique home.

The area is well served by a variety of bus routes with regular services into Exeter city centre and beyond, while nearby Polsloe Bridge and Digby & Sowton rail stations provide further transport options for commuters.

For families, there is a range of well-regarded schools close by including St Nicholas Primary, Woodwater Academy, Whipton Barton Junior and Infants Schools, and secondary options such as St Peter's and St Luke's Church of England Schools - all within comfortable walking distance.

The location also offers quick access to major road links including the A30 and M5, making it ideal for those working locally or commuting further afield. Exeter city centre, with its excellent shopping, dining and cultural attractions, is just a short drive or bus ride away, while green open spaces and leisure facilities are also close at hand.
