House For Sale £4,850,000
Matford Road is a contemporary home of outstanding quality that combines the convenience of a city centre location with optimum privacy thanks to the established gardens bordered by high hedges and trees. First impressions are superb, with elegant electric gates leading in a large parking and turning area. Immediately noticeable is the exquisite architectural design and the extensive use of glass.
An expansive entrance hall sets the tone for the rest of the house, with plenty of natural light and a vista all the way through to the stunning patio and pool area. The kitchen is particularly impressive, with seamless access to the patio area via sliding doors and a sunken sitting room at one end with a cosy, intimate feel.
The proportions and ceiling heights of the rooms are magnificent, yet the design of the house ensures that it both flows incredibly well and feels a very manageable size. There is plenty of space for entertaining both inside and out. A superb cantilever staircase leads to the bedroom accommodation, and there is also a lift to all floors.
The outstanding quality and attention to detail continues to the first floor where five immaculately presented and welcoming bedrooms provide ample accommodation for family and guests. The principal bedroom is on the second floor and is particularly impressive with far reaching views over the countryside beyond Exeter city centre, and a private patio, ideal for cosy evening drinks. The en suite bathroom, as with all the bathrooms in the house, has it's own distinct design and elegant finish and there is a separate dressing room with floor to ceiling display wardrobes and shelving.
The quality of the exterior matches the exquisite interior design. The main patio which sits outside the kitchen and sitting room offers ample space for outdoor entertaining with a delightful natural pool and bridge as its centrepiece with a waterfall cascading down one of the walls flanking the patio area. The large garden is very well protected thanks to the high hedges and mature trees. In the centre of the garden is a majestic oak tree, surrounded by a large lawn. There is another outdoor entertaining area off the main lawn, complete with a fire pit and seating area, ideal for enjoying summer evenings.
