Detached house for sale in Exmouth Road, Budleigh Salterton EX9

A substantial, detached residence enjoying a unique situation with stunning views over the Knowle valley and surrounding countryside. ‘Furze Moor’ is set within an extremely private plot of nearly 3/4 of an acre, yet despite its scenic location is just over half a mile from the town centre and sea front. Both East Devon Golf Club and the coastal path are in close proximity to the property. ‘Furze Moor’ is an extremely attractive house which was built in the 1920’s, the accommodation is well presented, spacious and flexible. Despite continual improvements by the current owner, many characterful features have been retained, notable examples include some picturesque windows and open fireplaces. Many of the principal rooms enjoy light, double aspects whilst affording pleasant views over the gardens and surrounding countryside. The external fabric of the building is in excellent order and uPVC double glazing has been installed throughout.

There is clear potential to extend the property further, subject to the necessary planning consents being obtained. Interestingly many precedents in the immediate local area have already been set. The benefits are obvious with at least a third more accommodation being available, if required. The detached garage also has superb potential to make a separate annexe for additional income, or separate accommodation for a relative, or even create a work from home opportunity.

The landscaped gardens surround the property and are orientated to enjoy the sun throughout the day. A variety of trees and shrubs make up the pleasant borders and provide colour and interest through the seasons, none more so than the mature wisteria. The lawn areas are generous in size and interspersed with well stocked beds, with a further area offering a range of established fruit trees and vegetable beds. The large sun terrace spans the front and side of the house, providing a lovely aspect over the gardens and a sheltered area for al-fresco entertaining. The generous sized summer house enjoys a tranquil and scenic spot at the rear of the house, boasting fine views and a southerly orientation. The greenhouse and shed, complete with power, are further notable assets serving the garden. ‘Furze Moor’ cannot be seen from the road and is approached by a private driveway which provides ample private parking and leads directly to the detached double garage and storeroom.
