Description

Highfield is a detached chalet bungalow set within a secluded semi-rural location on the outskirts of Exeter and Exminster. The property offers generous accommodation throughout, including four double bedrooms, and a large living room and kitchen. Whilst in need of a little modernisation, the house also benefits from large lawn garden, a double garage and ample parking.

Converted and extended in 2001 and measuring around 2,394sqft in total, the entrance porch leads to a welcoming and spacious entrance hallway with doors leading to the sitting room, kitchen, the fourth bedroom, a utility room and downstairs cloakroom and WC. The spacious L-shaped sitting room enjoys a double aspect over the garden with doors opening onto a south easterly facing terrace. Double doors link to the kitchen breakfast room, which also enjoys a bright outlook and doors to the garden. Fitted with a range of modern wall and base units, the kitchen is completed by a wooden work top with an inset Belfast sink, and a fitted oil fired Aga.

Upstairs, the the open first floor landing leads to the three main double bedrooms, with the principle bedroom benefitting from an en-suite shower room. All of the bedrooms enjoy pleasant views over the garden and beyond. The house is completed by a large family bathroom.

Set within 2.2 acres, Highfield is approached from the private lane, to a large driveway and parking area, leading to a double garage with an up and over door, light and power. The garden is a real feature of the property and is mostly made of a large lawn that is surrounded by a variety of mature trees and shrubs. There is a woodland line on the northern boundary edge of the property. Immediately from the house, a paved terrace stretches across the length of the house and is a real suntrap area and perfect for alfresco dining.
