Exminster is a thriving village on the edge of Exeter and has a strong community centred on a well-regarded Pre-School, Primary School and The New School, an independent, for ages 3 to 7.

For golfers, the Exminster Golf Centre provides a wonderful 9 hole course and nearby are peaceful riverside, canal and countryside walks including the rspb's reserve on Exminster Marshes.

The university and cathedral city of Exeter boasts a wide range of shopping, amenities and schooling as would be expected of a city of its importance and there are good rail links to Paddington and Waterloo.

Accommodation Believed to have originally been a barn for nearby Kerswell and converted into living accommodation many years ago, Little Kerswell is a delightful detached home that has been in the same family for many years and is now ready for some general modernisation.

Located at the end of a lane, the house is located in a beautiful, rural location yet lies the edge of the village and a short drive into Exeter and onto the M5.

The main front door leads into a porch with a second door into a large hallway, currently used as a dining room with an exposed roof timber and an attractive exposed brick wall to one side.

A staircase rises to the first floor and a door opens into a good sized study or ground floor bedroom.

On the other side of the dining room is a cosy sitting room, again with exposed wooden beams and a wood burner set in a hearth with wooden mantle over, and a door leads to a back hallway where there is a W.C with hand wash basin and a utility cupboard.

Beyond this is a good sized kitchen/dining room fitted with a range of base, wall and drawer units, stainless steel sink and drainer, plumbing for a dishwasher, oil fired Aga and a free standing electric cooker.

On the first floor, at the top of the stairs is a spacious landing leading onto three double bedrooms.

The main bathroom has been converted into a disability shower with hand wash basin and low level W.C.

Outside One of the features of the property are the grounds which extend to just over 6 acres in total which includes the more formal gardens and an adjoining paddock.

On approaching the house, a driveway leads to a parking area for 2/3 cars and on the other side is a grass garden with a number of mature trees and shrubs.

Continuing on, a track leads to two detached barns, the first having 3 rooms and a covered area for storing machinery and the second containing 3 stables in a small fenced paddock.

A gate gives access to the larger paddock measuring 4.5 acres which gentle rises with beautiful views over the surrounding countryside.
