54 Douglas Avenue is a beautifully appointed detached home, with flexible accommodation and light airy reception rooms, while a separate two bedroom annexe offers further useful living space for family members or guests. Additionally, the main house provides the potential for a second one-bedroom annexe, adjoining the rest of the accommodation. The reception hall provides an impressive welcome to the home, with its wooden flooring and painted wooden staircase, as well as doors to the ground floor reception rooms. These include the spacious, semi open-plan sitting room and dining room, both of which overlook the rear gardens, with the sitting room benefitting from sliding glass doors onto the patio area. Also on the ground floor is a useful private study and a well-equipped kitchen and breakfast room. The kitchen is fitted with stylish contemporary units, a central island with a breakfast bar and integrated appliances. There is also a utility room with washing machine and tumble dryer plus further storage.

Adjoining the main accommodation, the ground floor has a second well-presented sitting room, a shower room and a kitchen, with the area connected to the rest of the house via an internal door, but also enjoying its own private entrance. Upstairs, this section is separate from the rest of the house and includes a double bedroom and extensive eaves storage. The main house has four well-presented bedrooms on the first floor, all of which are en suite. These include a generous principal bedroom with a dual aspect, including sliding glass doors opening onto a sunny balcony with stunning countryside and sea views. The principal bedroom also benefits from a large dressing room and an en suite shower room.


The property is in a sought-after position, within a mile of Exmouth town centre and seafront, yet backing onto beautiful open countryside. Exmouth enjoys a beautiful coastal position on Devon's south coast, where the River Exe meets the sea. The town is a traditional resort with a promenade, elegant Georgian architecture, and a bustling centre. There is a diverse selection of shops, places to eat and things to do, including top quality water sports such as windsurfing and kite-surfing, and fantastic routes for cycling and walking. The town has a two-mile sandy beach and a popular marina as well as a train station with a direct line to Exeter. There is also a good selection of primary, secondary and private schools.

For keen walkers there is access nearby 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. There is also a cycle path to Budleigh Salterton. The opportunities to enjoy a variety of water sports in addition to equestrian and golfing pursuits in the area are also plentiful.

The Cathedral City of Exeter is only 12 miles away with its intercity railway station, international airport, connection to the M5 motorway and great business and retail opportunities with a modern shopping precinct, speciality boutiques, open air markets, restaurants, cafes and wine bars.

At the front of the property, gates open onto the tarmac driveway, which has plenty of parking space for residents and guests. The garaging block at the front provides further parking and storage space and houses the detached annexe. The accommodation includes an open-plan kitchen and sitting room and upstairs, two bedrooms and a shower room.

At the rear, the gardens have a large area of patio across the back of the house, and steps leading down to an area of lawn and a further area of paved and decked terracing with an ornamental pond. The gardens are bordered by established hedgerows and mature trees, and back onto beautiful open rolling countryside.
