Bradninch, Exeter, Devon

Full Property Details

This late Georgian property, dating back to the 1830's, is principally built of cob upon stone, with a more recent, 1950's, brick built, two storey extension to the rear elevation. Unfortunately, in 2019, the house had a fire, but thereafter, was sympathetically restored in line with the Grade II listing with works including a new roof, a new, fully insulated and boarded loft, a new gas boiler, rewiring, a refitted kitchen, newly plastered walls and ceilings, a replacement floor with antique boards in bedroom 3, and new decoration throughout. As a result, the house is in excellent order and retains some character features, enhancing its charm.

The two generous reception rooms are each fitted with a wood burner, providing a warm and welcoming atmosphere and augmenting the gas central heating, with radiators throughout. The kitchen, to the rear of the house, looks out over a gravel yard towards the garden and is a bright room with a sunny aspect. It is fitted in a classic oak style, with space for appliances and an integral freezer is located to one side. A door leads outside.

Upstairs, there are three large double bedrooms, the two end rooms with original fireplaces, one currently boarded over in bedroom 2, and the middle room with a large walk in wardrobe. From the landing, there is access to the bathroom, part-tiled with an electric shower over the bath, a separate WC and an airing cupboard.

A short step from the rear of the house, there is a lovely garden with well established trees and shrubs, a garden shed and a greenhouse surrounded by several raised beds and spacious terraced steps. At the top of the garden, in addition to a log shed and an open lean-to for bicycles or garden furniture, there is a large summerhouse or studio, with mains power connected. It also has a wood burner, making it suitable for all year-round use, and enjoys the sunny, south-westerly aspect and views across the town and hilltops beyond. The garden is a haven for any keen gardener or someone just wishing to lose themselves for an afternoon, relax or entertain, for which purpose there is a delightful seating area beneath a honeysuckle clad arch, with a discrete power point for a kettle or barbecue grill.

Agent's note: to the left of the property, double doors give access to a historic 'carriageway', which leads to the rear garden. The neighbouring property, number 11, has a right to vehicular and pedestrian access through the carriageway. A path along the lower edge of the garden gives the owner of number 11 pedestrian access to their garden, which lies beyond.
