The property is accessed via a communal entrance, where the apartment's private post box is located, with stairs leading to the second floor.
On entering the apartment, the central hallway provides access to all of the principal rooms. To the left is the modern fitted kitchen, which is well equipped with a range of wall and base units together with an integrated fridge-freezer, dishwasher, electric hob and oven with extractor hood, and washing machine.
Opposite the kitchen is the particularly good-sized open-plan living/dining room, with plenty of space for both comfortable seating and dining furniture. A large double sliding window allows an excellent amount of natural light into the room and gives the living space a bright and pleasant feel.
There are two good-sized double bedrooms, both providing useful space for double bedroom furniture, while the bathroom is fitted with a matching three-piece suite comprising a bath with shower over, WC and wash hand basin.
A large storage cupboard off the hallway provides valuable additional storage and also houses the gas-fired boiler, which was installed in 2019.
The apartment benefits from double glazing and gas central heating throughout. The living room and bedrooms are carpeted, with wood-effect flooring to the kitchen, bathroom and storage cupboard.
Externally, the property benefits from one allocated parking space, a particularly useful feature given the convenient city location.
The property is held on a long 999-year lease which commenced on 01/01/2018. The property has a zero-ground rent and the last service charge paid was £1421.80pa.
The location
The apartment occupies a particularly convenient position for those looking to enjoy easy access to both Exeter city centre and the rd&E Hospital, while also having a good range of everyday amenities close at hand.
The rd&E Hospital is approximately half a mile away, making it less than a 10-minute walk, while a Lidl supermarket is just a couple of minutes' walk from the property. Exeter city centre is also readily accessible, taking approximately 10 minutes by car, with regular bus services and good road links providing further options for getting around the city.
The location should therefore appeal particularly to first-time buyers, hospital employees, professionals and investors, as well as those looking for a conveniently positioned property within easy reach of the city.
Did you know?
Burnthouse Lane was originally a country lane running through farmland and takes its rather unusual name from a farmhouse which is said to have burned to the ground one Saturday night. The area was transformed in the late 1920s when Exeter City Council acquired around 90 acres of farmland to create a new residential estate, with the first homes completed in the early 1930s.
