Property description

Open house Sat 7th May - Call to book your viewing... A well-presented and maintained 2 Bedroom Bungalow located on a quiet, leafy cul-de-sac, in a sought after suburb of Exeter. Delightful front and rear gardens, driveway parking & garage. Chain free.

Situation

Courtenay Gardens is a very pleasant and leafy no-through road with just ten properties on the cul-de-sac. The houses only line one side of the road with a hedge and tree line opposite as well as an area of parkland, giving a pleasant outlook as well as bringing plenty of wildlife to the area.

Alphington is a former manor and village but is now a popular and desirable suburb of the county capital and Cathedral city of Exeter, although still retains much of that village charm and feel. The area provides local schools, public houses, village hall, shops, doctors surgery, pharmacy and Church. Supermarkets are close at hand and there is easy access to the surrounding countryside as well as the A30 and M5. The wider city of Exeter offers all you would expect with excellent shopping, dining and leisure facilities. There are two mainline railway stations giving fast and direct access to London, and Exeter Airport flies to national and international destinations.

Description

Offered for sale with no onward chain this well presented two bedroom semi-detached bungalow has been in the same ownership for some 22 years and has clearly been well maintained during that time. Today the property appears well presented inside and out with red brick elevations below a shallow pitch tiled roof. The bathroom has recently been modernised including a wet room shower, and the kitchen units have had replacement doors in recent years. The Vaillant boiler is also understood to have been changed relatively recently and features a Hive Wi-Fi enabled smart thermostat so you never have to return to a cold home! There is double glazing throughout and the property has achieved a very respectable EPC rating of C. The front and rear gardens are well maintained and there is driveway parking for two cars.

Accommodation

From the driveway glazed double doors open to the entrance vestibule where a further door with obscured glass opens to the hallway, ideal from a security point of view. The hallway provides access to all rooms. The kitchen has a range of white storage units which have had the doors replaced relatively recently. The granite effect work surfaces have an inset stainless steel sink below the large window giving attractive views over the rear garden. There is an inset 4 ring electric hob and integrated eye level electric double oven/grill. The flooring is of practical wood effect laminate and a door leads to the garage which in turn leads to the rear garden. The garage has been utilised as a utility room and store with provision for a washing machine and space for a fridge/freezer. The living room appears to have been recently decorated and fitted with new carpets not too long ago. It is of a good size with space for dining and sitting room furniture if required, and a large window has a pleasant outlook over the front garden to the hedge opposite the property. A gas fire has a marble effect surround and wooden mantle.

Bedroom two is currently utilised as dining room, and also has a similar view to the front of the property. Similar also to the living room, it appears to have had the carpets replaced not too long ago and redecoration. Bedroom one overlooks the rear garden and has a range of fitted wardrobes and dressing table. The part tiled bathroom has recently been modernised and features a combination vanity unit with sink and WC with a wet room style floor and an electric shower.

Outside

The property is approached over the tarmac driveway which provides parking for two cars with further parking possible on the road. The front garden has been arranged with an eye for low maintenance and is laid to gravel and planted with a variety of shrubs and bushes. There is sunny seating area just to the front of the sitting room window which is very useable as there are no properties opposite. The rear garden is large enough to enjoy but not so large that it is a burden to maintain. In the main it is laid to lawn with shrub and flower borders, there is a paved terrace off the rear of the property with a decked terrace to one end with space for garden furniture. Surrounded by wooden fence panels there is a wooden shed to one corner and a small paved terrace to the other far corner.
