With light-filled interiors, versatile living spaces, three established gardens, and a large outbuilding, this property offers the perfect blend of comfort, style, and location.

Ground Floor:
The front door opens into an entrance porch leading to a galleried landing. From here, you’ll find access to the spacious L-shaped lounge/diner, the kitchen, a guest suite with en suite bathroom, and a separate cloakroom. The lounge/diner benefits from far-reaching views to the rear and an additional window to the front, creating a bright and airy living space.

Lower Floor:
Stairs descend to the lower hallway, which leads to four further bedrooms—two generous doubles and two well-sized rooms—alongside the main bathroom, lobby, and utility room. The master en suite bedroom opens directly onto a charming patio area and morning sunshine, all beautifully framed by mature wisteria and honeysuckle. A further door leads to the lobby and utility room, which provides access to the lower front garden and a secluded gravel patio. This private west-facing space captures the evening sun, making it ideal for outdoor relaxation.

Exterior:
The property’s gardens wrap around three sides, offering a variety of outdoor spaces. To the front, there is parking for up to four vehicles and a small wooded area that provides privacy and attracts birds and wildlife. The side garden leads to the landscaped rear garden, where you’ll find a large, versatile outbuilding. Mature trees—including a blossoming cherry, a Ginkgo, and a palm—add charm and character, while established climbers provide natural shade over the patios.

Location:
Occupying an elevated position, this thoughtfully designed home enjoys far-reaching views from both the front and rear living areas, with glimpses of the Exe Estuary in the distance. Located in the prestigious Pennsylvania area, the property offers easy access to local amenities, excellent schools, and transport links into the city and beyond.
