The family bathroom completes the accommodation and includes a panelled bath with mixer shower attachment, wash hand basin and WC.

Outside, a wrought iron gate and paved pathway lead to the front door, with a productive garden area incorporating a variety of fruit and vegetables and enclosed by a neat box hedged boundary. A further gate opens into the rear garden, which enjoys a desirable south westerly orientation. A paved terrace extends across the rear of the house and leads onto a lawn with established planted borders, together with a kitchen garden and greenhouse.

To the front, wrought iron gates open onto a car hardstanding area, with substantial double gates providing additional security and access. There is also an outside tap.

In all, this is an unusually spacious and individually designed detached home, offering well balanced accommodation, excellent reception space and an attractive established garden in one of Exeter's most sought after residential areas.
