Property description

An opportunity to acquire and refurbish an exceptionally large 3 double bedroomed, 2 reception roomed semi-detached house on a corner plot in a great location with front and rear gardens, off road parking, garage and workshop.

In more detail ....
This double fronted property of traditional mellow brick was built around 1948/50 and has been owned by the same family for the past 40 years. This is quite a unique semi-detached property in Danby Terrace due to its position on a large level corner plot. The property has double glazing and the electrics and gas central heating were updated in 2005 but the house generally, whilst immaculately clean, would now benefit from refurbishment. It is approached via a tarmac pavement to the double glazed front door which opens into a light filled hallway. Immediately on the left there is a spacious bay fronted lounge with a focal point added by a wooden fireplace inset with an electric convector heater. A further dining room to the front aspect also has a fireplace inset with a gas flame effect fire and this has a serving hatch to the kitchen. The kitchen has a lovely view across the rear garden and whilst it is spacious it is now dated with a range of wall and base units and a worktop inset with a cream composite sink and drainer. A deep cupboard houses a Worcester boiler, the electric consumer unit, and the meters and there is shelved storage space. A further deep pantry cupboard has space and plumbing for a washing machine with worktop and shelved storage above. Upstairs the main bay fronted bedroom has a lovely view towards the Exe estuary. It has 2 recessed wardrobes with hanging space and shelved storage. A further large bedroom to the front aspect and another double bedroom to the rear each contain fitted wardrobes. There is a shower room with a modern large walk in shower cubicle with a Mira Advance shower and a white pedestal wash hand basin. The wc is located separately.

What the owner likes ....
My Mother and Father lived here happily for 40 years bringing up a family of 3. We have had many happy times here over the years. The house is so ideally positioned for its proximity to the shops, school and the beach is only a 5-10 minute drive away.

Bear in mind ....
From the first floor landing a hatch provides access to a boarded loft via a pull down ladder. It may be possible to extend into the loft (with the necessary planning consents and building regulations). It has a roof light window. As the house sits on a reasonably large corner plot it may also be feasible to extend the property. The rear garden is bordered by brick walling with fencing above. It is level and offers a lawned area with raised beds for flowers and/or vegetables. There is a wooden workshop to the rear and a wooden garage is positioned to the side of the house. The garage looks in quite a dilapidated condition so a prospective purchaser may wish to demolish this and re-claim some additional garden or build a new garage. This house is a rare find in the area and Whitton & Laing recommend an early viewing.

The location ....
Danby Terrace sits within approximately a mile of Exmouth seafront, with its 2 miles of golden, sandy beach. Exmouth town centre is just a level five to ten minute walk away. 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 are endless opportunities to enjoy a variety of water sports in addition to equestrian and golfing pursuits. Exmouth train station provides access to the nearby Cathedral city of Exeter and beyond. Exmouth is a highly commutable coastal town, also within 20 minutes of the M5 motorway junction and Exeter International Airport. This offers an ideal base for those seeking an enhanced coastal lifestyle.
