House For Sale £1,250,000
Description
This exceptional and truly beautiful, detached farmhouse, comprehensively renovated in recent years by the present owners, is presented in breath-taking order throughout and offers over 3700 sq ft of spacious and welcoming accommodation.
Superbly positioned at the heart of this popular village, the property has been adapted and modernised to suit the needs of family living and enjoys a huge degree of privacy from its slightly elevated position. Sitting on a South facing garden plot of over half an acre, the property also offers garaging and extensive private parking and sits within an easy stroll of the excellent village amenities nearby.
The house is predominantly approached from the large area of private parking, with a path meandering through the large lawned gardens and through a gated and fenced terrace. From here, there is a fabulous degree of privacy.
No details have been overlooked during the renovation, retaining stunning original features whilst also incorporating a new gas central heating and hot water system. Working fireplaces have been reinstated and high-quality kitchen, bathrooms and en-suites installed. The kitchen is exceptional, with a range of fitted cupboards and modern appliances including double oven, double wine fridge and an attractive central island.
The kitchen has numerous high quality storage units with a polished granite worksurface. The modern design creates a juxtaposition against the original fireplace and parquet flooring. Dual aspect, the room is flooded with natural light and leads into a vaulted dining room with twin roof windows and a bow window. An additional door provides access to spacious parking area and garage. The generous pantry is next door, with a newly fitted shower room leading from this – ideal for washing the dogs after a long walk in the nearby countryside.
There are three large reception rooms including a charming sitting room with feature fireplace. The second largest reception room is presently used as a very generous home office. This room has a 17th Century decorated plasterwork ceiling. From the third reception, the snug, access into the utility and plant cupboard can be found. This space leads to the boot room with direct access outside. A must have for a family home of this size.
On the first floor, there are six double bedrooms, with the sizeable principal featuring a dressing area and exemplary en-suite. The family bathroom, additional en-suite and cloakroom on this floor have all been renovated with first class fixtures and fittings throughout.
The gardens, extending to over half an acre, are a particularly attractive feature, and somehow combine absolute privacy within a central village position. Additionally, there is a single garage with EV charging, an adjoining store/ workshop and outside WC. It is very rare indeed to find such a centrally located property offering very large accommodation and a very large plot. Internal inspection is essential.
Situation
This beautiful Farmhouse is located within a peaceful conservation area within the village of Ide, approximately three miles from the centre of Exeter. Ide has a shop/post office, primary school, farm shop and three pubs.
Exeter is a thriving city in the Southwest and offers a wide choice of cultural activities with theatres, a museum, art centres and a wealth of good shopping and restaurants including John Lewis.
There are many good primary and secondary schools including Ide Primary School, Exeter School, Maynards and the University of Exeter. The M5 motorway at Exeter provides links to Plymouth and Cornwall to the South, as well as Bristol and London to the North and East. Exeter Airport provides an ever-increasing number of domestic and international flights.
