Prispen Drive, Silverton, Exeter

LongDescription
This fine house occupies an enviable position within Prispen House, built upon the original site of the Silverton Rectory. The new version of Prispen House house was built in 2002/2003 and comprises fifteen leasehold properties, including houses and apartments, enjoying the rural location, yet only a short walk from the village amenities and a fifteen minute drive from the centre of the cathedral city of Exeter and the motorway network.

The house offers very versatile accommodation over three floors. On entering the ground floor, the utility room lies to the left with a sink unit, work surface and space and plumbing for appliances. Opposite, the cloakroom has a white suite and used to have a shower fitted, for which the plumbing still exists, so this could be reinstated if required. Beyond, there is a generous study, which could also be used as a fourth or easy access bedroom, if required. The garage lies to one side, with handy personnel access from the hallway, and lends itself for use as a workshop or gym if parking the car is not necessary. Stairs, with a generous storage cupboard underneath, lead to the first floor which comprises the main reception room and kitchen/dining room, both an impressive size.

The sitting room has two sash style windows and a feature electric fire, perfect for the cooler autumnal evenings. The kitchen has a light and sunny, southerly aspect and is attractively fitted in a white Shaker style with plenty of storage, a display cabinet, shelving and space for appliances, including a range cooker with two ovens, including a grill, and a five-ring gas hob. Towards one end, there is ample space for a dining table and chairs.

The second floor has three bedrooms, two doubles and a single, which is currently used as a dressing room. The principal bedroom has an en suite shower room, beautifully fitted in a contemporary style with a large shower cubicle and the main bathroom is also fitted and tiled in a luxurious style.

Throughout the house, the windows are double glazed in a classic sash style, matching the architecture of the original property, and there is gas central heating.
