This is a semi-detached property in a great village location, but only 15mins from Exeter Airport.

My home has an enclosed garden with a summer house, & table & chairs outside.
Inside, the house has 2 double bedrooms and a loft room, which has 2 single beds & a small childs’ bed. There is another small single room which I use as an office on the same floor as the double bedrooms.
Downstairs a kitchen /dining room and a separate sitting room. There is also a Conservatory. The Utility room has a large washing machine. There’s a Tumble drier in the conservatory, and rotary drier outside the kitchen..
Private parking is at the rear of the property, away from the main road.
