About
Description An attractive and exceptionally spacious three double bedroom detached family home, enviably positioned within a quiet and exclusive cul de sac in the highly sought after village of Rockbeare.
The property offers a superb sense of light and flow throughout, with a stylish open plan kitchen dining room forming the heart of the home, ideal for both everyday family living and entertaining.
The generous sitting room is equally impressive, featuring a characterful wood burner and French doors opening directly onto the rear garden, seamlessly blending indoor and outdoor living.
The ground floor is further enhanced by a practical utility room and convenient cloakroom.
Upstairs, the accommodation continues to impress with three well proportioned double bedrooms, all enjoying lovely outlooks, complemented by a modern family bathroom and a well appointed en suite to the principal bedroom.
Externally, the rear garden is a particular feature, thoughtfully arranged with a generous lawn and gravelled areas, enjoying a high degree of privacy and far reaching countryside views, creating a wonderfully peaceful setting.
A notable and highly versatile addition is the fully operational salon, offering exceptional flexibility and clear potential to be adapted as a home office or ancillary workspace.
Benefiting from its own side access via the gated entrance, it also lends itself perfectly to those seeking the option of a private business or studio space.
A rare opportunity to acquire a home of genuine versatility and space in a prime village setting, early viewing is strongly advised to fully appreciate the scope and quality on offer.
Situation Rockbeare is a highly regarded East Devon village offering a strong sense of community, surrounded by attractive open countryside while remaining exceptionally well connected for daily commuting.
The village itself benefits from a well regarded primary school, a parish church and an active community hall, creating a traditional village setting that is particularly popular with families.
For a broader range of amenities, nearby Cranbrook and Pinhoe provide a selection of convenience stores, pubs and local services, while the cathedral city of Exeter is just a short drive away and offers an extensive choice of shopping, dining, leisure facilities and excellent transport links including rail services and access to the M5 and A30 corridors.
The surrounding East Devon countryside offers miles of scenic walks and outdoor pursuits, with easy access to both open farmland and woodland trails.
The location therefore strikes an excellent balance between rural village living and convenient access to city amenities, major employment hubs and transport connections, making it ideal for families and commuters alike.
