3 Bed Detached House For Sale Fore Street, Exeter, EX5

This double fronted Victorian house sits on the historic street that is the spine of the Exe Valley village of Silverton. Once the location of the village police station, the property has been elegantly enhanced and extended by its current owners. The kitchen diner provides the focal point of this home — a modern, light and spacious livings space that is a wonderful addition to the characterful original footprint.

THE LAYOUT

Entering through the central front door, the hallway runs from front to back. Here, you can see right through to the garden and feel the natural light flowing through immediately. There is a terrific flow to the downstairs as you can circle from room to room. Taking a right, you enter the sitting room. A cosy, yet still spacious room with woodburner. Steps down from here lead you into the dining area end of the kitchen / diner. A great place to sit as you can take in the view back into the sitting room but also along the kitchen. Skylights in the kitchen ensure a light feel, even on the gloomiest of days. A useful utility area is just off this room, with the door to the back garden from there. From the kitchen end, you step up into the dining room. A flexible room, with the option for the formal dining space, but an opportunity for another sitting room or home office. Upstairs, the three bedrooms and bathroom are all accessed off the landing, which in turn offers a lovely vantage point over the garden below.

OUTSIDE

The garden is largely low maintenance, with a beautiful cobbled finish. A raised bed, however, ensures a perfect spot to enjoy a fine little kitchen garden, alongside manicured fruit trees. A good sized shed provides handy storage and there is also a shingle area, into which you can pull a small car!

THE VILLAGE

Silverton is located on the commuter friendly side of Exeter—as well as being handily located for access to Exeter airport and both Exeter St. David's and Tiverton Parkway train stations—and is thought to be one of the oldest villages in Devon. It continues to be an extremely sought after village as it provides the fantastic combination of the 'village lifestyle' whilst also being well connected to the city of Exeter. Amenities in the village itself are exceptional, with a brilliant Doctor's surgery, convenience store, post office, primary school and two pubs, both just a minute’s walk from the property!
