4 bedroom detached house for sale

Located on the SW edge of the town, Westernlea is a popular choice for many with easy access to schools and town amenities, plus just seconds on foot and you are in the rolling Devon hills.  It’s on the regular bus route making public transport easily accessible into Crediton or Exeter. The development was originally built in the 1980s with the second phase following in the early 1990s when this property was built. The house is pretty much original but has recently been decorated which gives a blank canvas to work from. There is mains gas central heating and timber double glazing. The layout gives a living room to the front (with gas fire) and an arch through to the dining room with sliding patio doors to the garden. The kitchen is also on the rear of the house and many people have opened up the kitchen and dining room into a larger, more sociable space. There is a useful WC on the ground floor, perfect for this type of home. On the first floor are four bedrooms and a family bathroom. A point to consider is that many have taken this original layout and built behind and over the garage to add a larger bedroom and ensuite and also a ground floor utility room.

Outside, the front garden sets it back from the road with a lawn behind hedging. There’s off-road parking and the opportunity to create more if required. The garage has an up and over door on the front and a separate pedestrian door from the rear garden. Access to the rear garden can be gained to the side of the house with a gated pathway and then the rear garden is level and faces south-west meaning the afternoon and evening sun is on offer during the summer months. The garden has a paved seating area, lawn and a lovely pergola adds a bit of cover to the patio and dining room doors.

Please see the floorplan for room sizes.
