Property description

Orchard Lodge is a superb detached bungalow which would provide a comfortable home for both families and retired occupants alike. Situated in the heart of this desirable East Devon village, the bungalow is surrounded by glorious East Devon countryside and is within the catchment areas of the highly regarded West Hill Primary School and the renowned Kings School in Ottery St Mary. Aylesbeare is situated on the edge of Exeter with swift access to all the major roads, allowing commuting from this idyllic setting viable.



The property itself has recently undergone major improvements by the current owners to whom the property is a credit. Beautifully presented with quality fixtures and fittings, the lovely light and airy well-proportioned accommodation briefly comprises; reception hall with a range of cloaks cupboards, kitchen/breakfast room which is comprehensively fitted with an extensive range of contemporary range cupboards and drawers both at base and eye level enhanced by granite effect worktops with tiled splashbacks. Space for modern appliances include Rangemaster style cooker and a solid oak stable door leads directly to the rear garden. The floor has attractive natural slate tile flooring and there's plenty of room for a family sized dining table and chairs.



The sitting room/dining room is most impressive, being a lovely size with a feature multi-fuel wood burning stove and bi-fold doors opening directly onto a decking area with garden beyond; creating a wonderful light and airy feel. There are four bedrooms, one of which would lend itself as a dining room for more formal occasions if desired. The family bathroom is fitted with a modern stylish white suite. The property also benefits from double glazing throughout.



The current owners have obtained planning permission to extend the property which also includes additional extensions and loft conversion creating a substantial family home subject to building regulations. Full plans are available on request (planning reference 08/1221/FUL).



Aylesbeare is a typical Devon village enjoying a peaceful location but centrally located in East Devon; therefore within easy reach of Exeter and the M5 (5 miles), Ottery St Mary (5 miles) and the coast at Sidmouth and Exmouth is within easy reach. The village has a Church and village hall and we understand it lies within the catchment for the excellent West Hill Primary School.



The property is approached via a long driveway providing off road parking for several vehicles and the gardens are another appealing feature, being just under a quarter of an acre in all.



The front garden is predominantly laid to lawn and bordered by well-established flowerbeds and the rear garden enjoys an excellent degree of privacy and is of a southerly aspect taking full advantage of the sun throughout the day. This large expanse of lawn ensures plenty of room for children to run and play. There is a well-positioned summerhouse, mature fruit trees, raised flowerbeds, kitchen garden and a timber garden shed. A decking area provides plenty of room to enjoy outdoor dining/entertaining in this idyllic setting.
