About
GUIDE PRICE £700,000-£750,000 / NO ONWARD CHAIN Built by the current owners roughly 10 years ago, Owls Cottage is a superb four bedroom detached home, set within the fringes of Exmouth.
The property boasts a beautiful outlook and is within close proximity to Woodbury Common, whilst also just a short distance to Exmouth town centre, train station and bus route.
On approach, the home is set back from the road and is accessed via a private road, offering ample parking for at least three vehicles, along with detached garage benefitting from solar panels.
When entering, you are greeted by an impressive entrance hall with sweeping staircase to first floor, oak doors and access to all ground floor rooms.
There is a beautifully presented, farmhouse style kitchen with underfloor heating and some integrated appliances, as well as wonderful onward views over the garden.
Just off of the kitchen, you will find a very useful utility with side access.
The open plan living/dining room is bursting with natural light from three sets of French doors that lead onto a south-facing patio.
The room offers ample space for generous dining table along with a cosy living area benefitting from lovely wood-burner.
The ground floor also offers a bedroom with modern en-suite shower room- perfect for multigenerational living, as well as useful downstairs cloakroom.
The first floor has been cleverly designed to maximise natural light, with a gorgeous landing and seating area to overlook the garden.
Three generous double bedrooms can be found on the first floor, one benefitting from a stylish en-suite shower room and an additional, modern fitted family bathroom to service the remaining two rooms.
Outside, the property boasts a superb rear garden, which is mainly laid to lawn with a southerly aspect, to enjoy the sunshine throughout the day.
There is also a lovely covered patio/seating area which overlooks the garden. The property is within close proximity to Exmouth seafront and town centre, with all local amenities close-by.
For keen walkers there is access to many miles of coastal path starting at 'The Needle' at Orcombe Point, which denotes the start of the World Heritage coastline.
The Exe Estuary has been designated an 'Area Of Outstanding Natural Beauty' and offers further exceptional walks and a cycle path leading to Lympstone and continues beyond through to Exeter.
The opportunities to enjoy a variety of watersports in addition to equestrian and golfing pursuits in the area are also plentiful.
Exmouth train station provides access to the nearby Cathedral city of Exeter and beyond.
Exmouth, being a highly commutable coastal town and also within 20 minutes of the M5 motorway junction, offers an ideal base for those seeking an enhanced coastal lifestyle and enjoyment of all the area has to offer.
