House For Sale £975,000
Located in the highly desirable village of Exton and enjoying fantastic estuary views we find Franclyn, a stunning and grand four-bedroom bungalow set within a generous plot of approximately a third of an acre.
An attractive private drive with high hedging either side and offering a wonderful far-reaching view leads you from Exton Lane down to the property culminating with a large driveway in front of the integral double garage with automatic door. The driveway provides parking and turning space for numerous vehicles. There is easy access through the garage into the property; ideal on rainy days!
Entering the property through the front door you initially enter an entrance lobby. A further door then opens into a grand entrance hall, with closet provision for your outdoor apparel. The hall immediately gives you a sense of the space and light that is offered throughout the whole bungalow. This is an incredibly impressive introduction to the property and provides access to all the main living areas, bedrooms and bathrooms, all of which benefit from underfloor heating.
The kitchen/breakfast room is immediately to your left and is a very spacious dual aspect room benefitting from two windows overlooking the garden and French doors leading out to it. A wonderful space to cook, eat or simply enjoy a morning coffee with friends. The kitchen area offers an abundance of both base and eye level solid red alder units which are complimented by Norwegian granite worktops offering plenty of space for cooking and baking with the family. The technology to bring your culinary creations to life is provided by an eye level double oven with grill, electric ceramic hob with extractor above, integrated microwave and integrated fridge freezer, with an integrated dishwasher for making light work of the washing up. There is also a one and a half bowl stainless steel sink for the non-dishwasher items overlooking the lovely garden!
Off the kitchen are doors providing access to the dining room and a good size utility room with spaces for washing machine and tumble dryer. A further door provides access to the garden. The dining room affords a formal space when entertaining friends and can easily accommodate a large table along with a number of other items of furniture and again benefits from French doors.
Heading across the hallway, to a slightly higher level, we find the incredibly grand sitting room. This is a real 'wow' factor space and needs to be seen to be fully appreciated with vaulted ceiling, exposed brick work, feature fireplace and exposed timber. The room also benefits from large amounts of tinted glazing including large patio doors to take advantage of and provide access to the garden and views. A lovely room to relax and unwind in the winter months with a glass of wine whilst the Jetmaster fire provides the warmth and then in the summer months one can imagine this being a fantastic entertaining space with the patio doors open providing a fusion of the indoor and outdoor spaces.
All four bedrooms are located at the rear of the bungalow. The master bedroom is a great size housing a 6ft wide bed and benefits from a wall of built-in wardrobes which are very deep and provide an abundance of hanging and storage space. The en-suite bathroom is very generous easily accommodating both a sunken bath and separate shower along with matching white suite and heated towel rail. Bedrooms 2 and 3 are spacious double rooms with both also benefitting from built-in wardrobes and bedroom 3 also has the advantage of a door providing direct access to the large family bathroom. Bedroom 4 is that in number only as it is actually the second largest bedroom and enjoys a dual aspect.
The family bathroom is incredibly spacious and offers a sunken Hydra-Spa bath along with separate shower and matching white suite along with heated towel rail. There is then a third bathroom with a difference as it not only has a shower and matching white suite and heated towel rail but also provides you with a private Lagerholm sauna.
The outside space is equally impressive offering wonderful views of the Exe Estuary and beyond to Haldon Forest. The main garden is to the front of the property, immaculately maintained and designed to take full advantage of its south-westerly orientation. A large lawned area is interspersed with attractive mature raised beds and is a lovely area to entertain friends and family alike. To the rear of the property is a private and secluded terrace area perfect for relaxing with a cup of coffee and a good book.
Exton is considered one of the most desirable villages near Exeter to live. It is perfectly situated between the Cathedral city of Exeter and the long sandy beaches of Exmouth, both of which can be reached by car, train or bike as the village is located on the superb Exe Estuary trail for cycling and also has a train station providing regular services to both. The village also benefits from the superb Puffing Billy Gastro Pub, a village hall, church, play park and is also on a regular bus route.
