5 bedroom semi-detached house for sale

22 Blundell’s Avenue is an attractive semi-detached home that provides light, airy accommodation arranged over three floors. Formerly a boarding house for the nearby Blundells School, the property has been extensively refurbished retaining characterful period details including large sash windows and an original veranda over the front entrance alongside elegant, understated modern decor. The property occupies a sizeable plot with a large rear garden and lies in a sought-after residential area on the edge of Tiverton.

On the ground floor, the reception hall features original ornate tiled flooring that leads into the 29ft sitting room which features a large bay window allowing for a wealth of natural light, exposed wooden floorboards and a marble surround fireplace fitted with a logburner. Adjoining the sitting room is a spacious office or playroom with an adjoining cloakroom that could provide opportunities for annexe accommodation. Towards the rear in the modern extension is the newly renovated L-shaped, open-plan kitchen and dining area. The kitchen has contemporary shaker-style fitted units to base and wall level, quartz worktops, a large central island and breakfast bar and integrated appliances, with the dining area offering space for a large family dining table, as well as an Aga logburner and seating area with triple bi-fold doors that open onto the rear garden. An adjoining utility and larder provide further space for storage and appliances.

The first floor comprises three double bedrooms and a smaller fourth bedroom. One of the bedrooms on this floor benefits from en suite facilities while there is also a family bathroom on this floor with a freestanding bathtub and a separate shower unit. The second floor provides a generous principal bedroom suite with a dressing room, Swedish sauna and en suite shower room.

The rear garden is accessed via a five-bar wooden gate and includes a spacious patio for al fresco dining and entertaining with steps that lead to a large, fenced area of lawn. At the end of the garden there is an orangery which offers the potential for conversion, subject to the necessary consents. Parking is provided at the front and side of the property with ample space for several vehicles.

The property lies in a sought-after residential area on the edge of the bustling and historic town of Tiverton, less than a mile from the town centre and moments from beautiful rolling Devon countryside. Tiverton provides a wide range of everyday amenities, including a choice of shops, supermarkets, plenty of restaurants and cafés and leisure facilities. The town also has access to a variety of schools, including the independent Blundell’s School which is within striking distance of the property and therefore in the reduced fee catchment area. Exeter is approximately 14 miles away and has great business facilities together with open air markets, restaurants, cafés and wine bars. The city is also well served with a good range of leisure and cultural amenities, including theatres, museums, galleries and cinemas and substantial shopping facilities.
