Location

Pippins is situated in a delightful semi-rural location in a rural area between near the villages of Poltimore and just 3.5 miles north of Exeter. The surrounding area consists of typical, rolling Devon farmland with many excellent walks to be had around the network of public footpaths, in particular the National Trust Killerton House and Gardens with its highly regarded and impressive parkland and gardens.

Exeter is a thriving city and offers a wide choice of cultural resources, theatres, art centers and museums. There are a variety of excellent state and private schools for both primary and secondary level, including Exeter School, The Maynard School and the Cathedral School, whilst Exeter University is recognised as one of the best in the country. Blundells School located in Tiverton is about 11.8 miles distant.

The M5 motorway provides links to Bristol and London, the A38 to Plymouth and the A30 to Cornwall. Exeter St David's offers regular train services to London Paddington in just over two hours.

Description

Sitting in a wonderful location, Pippins is a delightful family home offering the chance for the "good life". The house itself is due south and benefits from plenty of natural light. Inside the entrance hall is perfect for welcoming guests and leads through to the impressive kitchen/dining/living room with its double height ceiling and French doors leading out onto the east facing terrace. The kitchen itself is fully equipped with fitted appliances and a wide range of wall, base and draw units. The dining/living area is perfect for family and clearly the heart of the home with a feature free standing wood burner and Velux windows.

Adjacent to the kitchen is a storage cupboard, boot room and back door leading outside.

Further accommodation on the ground floor includes a wonderfully light south facing sitting room, again with French doors to outside, a versatile study/bedroom 4, utility and downstairs shower room.

Stairs rise to the first floor to a bright and airy landing and a cleverly designed area with plenty of built in wardrobes. Bedroom one is of particular interest with its double aspect looking out over neighboring countryside and an en suite bathroom with separate shower. There are a further two south facing bedrooms both enjoying a pleasant outlook and a family bathroom.

Gardens and Grounds
Arguably the most noteworthy feature to Pippins is the grounds. Directly outside the house is a well manicured garden, raised vegetable beds and a terrace, perfect for alfresco dining. Pippins is approached via a gated driveway where there is plenty of parking and an access track to the stables and barns.

Outbuildings include three stables, a feed store, tack room and a substantial detached barn which is an excellent set of for equestrian use. There are 5.48 acres in total, currently arranged into four paddocks and a manage/sand arena split by established hedgerows or stock fencing.
