3 bedroom semi-detached house for sale

55 Grenville Avenue is a well presented three-bed semi-detached house in a great location. Tucked away in a 1930s cul-de-sac, it's a step away from the hustle and bustle on the east side of Exeter. With a decent garden and loads of amenities nearby, it's a perfect home for a family wanting to move straight in.

The house lies between Whipton and Pinhoe, two villages swept up by Exeter over the years. Both are popular places to live, with excellent links to the city centre, the motorway, and the beaches of East Devon. Everything you need is on your doorstep, with three supermarkets so close you'll often choose to walk.

Unlike some of the squashed-in plots of newer houses, here you have more space and a proper garden. The lawn and patio at the rear are nicely private and well looked-after. To the side, there's a deep drive leading to a garage, together with parking at the front and on-street.

Visitors will quickly see that this is a home that's been nicely maintained. The weed-free parking space at the front uses attractive pavers in a herringbone design. Two low steps take you to the entrance, where a narrow, door-high window streams light into the hallway.

You then step into a small porch with a glazed door. You'll see a side window and stairs on your left, and the kitchen beyond. The tiled floor here runs for the length of the house. It makes the hallway feel light and airy, inviting you to continue towards the kitchen.

The kitchen comprises of white wall and base units and wood effect worktops, built in oven and hob with extractor over. Space for a washing machine, dishwasher and refrigerator. The sink overlooks the rear garden, while a part-glazed door gives you handy access to the drive, in front of the garage.

When we retrace our steps into the hallway, there are entrances into both the lounge and dining rooms. These are in turn connected by solid oak flooring and a pair of doors that open into the eating area. So you can choose to enjoy one large space, or keep them separate and a little more private. In the lounge, there is a feature solid limestone fireplace surround as well as a clever arrangement for the plugs and TV aerial socket meaning there are no unsightly wires.

The dining room has fitted shelves in its two alcoves, with a matching white radiator cover. There's also a large sliding glass door that leads you to the sun room, patio and garden beyond. In the low wall, two steps take you to the lawn and flower beds. Behind the garage is some hard landscaping, with a shed and another patio - tucked away and sheltered from the breeze it's the perfect spot to enjoy al fresco dining.

Upstairs are three bedrooms and a family bathroom, all tastefully decorated in white or neutral colours. The stairs have a fitted banister on their outside wall, handy for young kids or anyone with mobility or balance issues.

If you like to stretch your legs, plump for one of the green spaces on your doorstep. Bettysmead playing fields and the sports pitches next to Exeter Arena are popular with families, joggers and dog walkers. Further afield is Pinhoe church with views down the Exe estuary - a lovely spot to take a break from the world. These days the new footbridge over Summer Lane means you can cycle into the city centre on a traffic-free route.

The house is just a few minutes' drive from junction 29 of the M5. This takes you north to Bristol, south to Cornwall and also joins the A30 for Exeter airport and Honiton. If you want the train to take the strain, little Pinhoe station offers a direct service to London Waterloo. Locals' hack - there's free parking.
