Situated in the Exe Valley is the pretty village of Silverton.
Approximately 8 miles to the south is the city of Exeter. The
village has a thriving community and has a well supported shop open
into the evenings , post office, two pubs, primary school and
health centre. Exeter provides a number of excellent schools
together with one of the UKs most prestigious red brick
universities as well as an international airport and mainline train
links to London.
The village contains a mix of properties, some of which date
back centuries so its full of character. King Street is a narrow
road containing many older properties and runs from Fore Street to
Tiverton Road with easy access to the village centre. This property
is a more modern build and offers spacious rooms over two floors.
The house has been let and is now offered for sale with no chain.
Although the house has mains gas central heating and timber double
glazing, there is still scope to improve the property and add
value. The layout is somewhat traditional with an open plan living
dining room which opens up onto the rear courtyard garden. The
kitchen is at the rear and many people may open this up to the main
living space or indeed make it into a kitchen dining room across
the back and have a separate living room. There is a useful side
porch too accessed from the kitchen and the rear courtyard. On the
first floor are 2 bedrooms and the family bathroom.
Outside, there is an easy to maintain courtyard garden to the
rear with gated access to the side. The advertised price doesnt
include parking but the adjacent parking space could be negotiated
separately not the garage should this be desired.
Agents note Depending on whether the parking is purchased or
not, the boundary to the left of the house can include a strip to
the side to allow pedestrian access to porch gate rear courtyard
without going through the house.
Please see the floorplan for room sizes.
