Huxham View & Annex, Church Hill, Pinhoe, Exeter EX4

Description

A truly exceptional family home with an outstanding separate annex, Huxham View and Annex presents a rare opportunity to secure a substantial and versatile property in one of Exeter's most sought-after locations. Set within peaceful, rolling countryside yet just a short drive from Exeter's vibrant city life, this beautifully presented residence offers elegant, contemporary accommodation arranged over multiple floors, with superb flexibility for modern family living.

Both the main house and the annex feature private rooftop terraces, offering elevated spaces to relax, entertain, and enjoy panoramic views across the surrounding Devon countryside.

The heart of the home is a generous, light-filled open-plan kitchen/dining space, featuring a premium Bulthaup kitchen with integrated appliances and a breakfast bar, flowing seamlessly into an expansive living/dining room - perfect for family gatherings and entertaining. Extensive floor-to-ceiling glazing frames uninterrupted views, with doors opening out to an enclosed garden landscaped for both relaxation and play.

The outdoor space is ideal for family life and entertaining, featuring a brick-built pizza oven and barbecue terrace, a dedicated outdoor cinema area for memorable evenings under the stars, lawned gardens, and a luxurious hot tub/swim-jet pool, creating a superb setting for alfresco dining or unwinding in complete comfort.

Arranged over four floors, the main house comprises six beautifully appointed bedrooms, each benefiting from stylish en-suite facilities fitted with high-quality Laufen sanitaryware, and Smart TVs. A standout principal suite boasts a super-king bed and an elegant en-suite bathroom with bath and walk-in shower, while additional bedrooms offer versatile configurations suitable for children, guests or home working. A lower ground floor utility room, separate cloakroom, games room and dedicated gym complete the internal accommodation, ensuring space for every lifestyle requirement. The main house's rooftop terrace adds an exceptional outdoor dimension, perfect for enjoying sunsets, entertaining guests, or simply soaking in the expansive countryside views.

Adjacent yet entirely self-contained, the single-storey annex is a real highlight for multi-generational living - perfectly suited for grandparents, elderly parents, or those with disabilities or reduced mobility seeking privacy without isolation. Designed with accessibility and independence in mind, the annex benefits from level access, generous proportions, and thoughtfully arranged accommodation, allowing for comfortable, step-free living. It offers two king-size bedrooms with en-suite facilities featuring Laufen fittings, a beautifully proportioned open-plan living/dining/kitchen space with a Bulthaup kitchen, and its own private access, all finished to the same high standard as the main house. The annex also boasts its own rooftop terrace, creating a private, elevated retreat. Practicalities are handled with equal attention to detail: Underfloor heating in key areas, off-road parking, excellent connectivity, and modern fixtures throughout ensure this is a home that effortlessly accommodates both everyday living and special occasions.

The property is currently operated as a successful group-booking holiday let and benefits from an established presence within the short-term rental market, offering attractive income potential for those seeking an investment opportunity, while remaining equally well suited to use as a private residence.

The location is equally compelling. Positioned within the highly desirable Pennsylvania/Pinhoe area of Exeter, the property enjoys a peaceful, semi-rural setting while remaining within easy reach of the city centre. Regular rail services operate from Pinhoe Station, providing swift connections to Exeter St Davids and beyond, while Exeter Airport is a short drive away, offering excellent national and international links.

Local schooling is highly regarded, with nearby options including Pinhoe Primary School, West Clyst Primary School and Stoke Hill Primary School, alongside excellent early years provision. Outstanding state and independent senior schools are available across Exeter, including St James High School and Clyst Vale Community College. The area is also well served by respected independent schools such as Exeter School, The Maynard and Blundell's, all within convenient travelling distance. The University of Exeter's Streatham and St Luke's campuses are easily accessible by car, bus or cycle, making the location particularly appealing to university staff, postgraduates and investors seeking proximity to one of the UK's leading universities, while retaining a peaceful residential setting.

Everyday amenities are close at hand, including the popular Il Grano Italian restaurant, Poo Lee and Oriental City Chinese takeaways, Gibbins Butchers, Pinhoe Pharmacy, Post Office, Spar convenience store, hairdressers and barbers, as well as nearby supermarkets such as Sainsbury's, Aldi and Lidl - making this an exceptionally family-friendly location. The property is also perfectly positioned for enjoying the Devon coastline. Exmouth and Dawlish Warren, both renowned for their long sandy beaches and excellent facilities, are approximately 10-12 miles away, while Teignmouth's traditional seaside town and promenade lie around 14-16 miles from the property. The stunning Jurassic Coast is within easy reach, with Sidmouth and Budleigh Salterton accessible in approximately 17-25 miles, offering outstanding opportunities for coastal walks, swimming and relaxed days by the sea.

Huxham View and Annex is more than a home - it is a lifestyle statement, offering luxury, space, thoughtful design, and elevated rooftop terraces in both the main house and annex, in a location that seamlessly blends rural tranquillity with everyday convenience. It is ideally suited to extended families seeking the perfect balance of independence and togetherness.
