4 bed detached house for sale

Westwood Lane, Longdown, Exeter, Devon EX6

Eastwood House is a pretty and well-presented period farmhouse believed to date from the early to mid Victorian era. Its adjacent courtyard of barns and outbuildings have been separately converted so that the farmhouse and barns now form a small community of five separate properties, with the privacy of each carefully considered, situated in a rural setting, surrounded by rolling farmland, off a small country lane.
The classically proportioned house, with hipped roof, faces south east overlooking its front garden and, either side of the entrance hall with exposed boarded flooring and paneling to dado height, is the drawing room and sitting room with wide stone fireplace. To the rear is the dining room leading into the conservatory with French doors out to the courtyard terrace, and the fitted kitchen with island with breakfast bar and Rayburn.
On the first floor, at the front of the house, is the large principal bedroom with ensuite shower room and three further bedrooms and bathroom.
To the front of the house is a walled lawned garden and, on the north east side, a path leads around from the front garden to an enclosed courtyard and a large, useful barn adjoining the rear of the house.
On the south west side of the house, French doors open from the conservatory to the enclosed, stone paved, courtyard terrace fringed by plant borders providing a delightful outdoor dining and sitting area.
Adjoining is a parking area off the lane and the entrance driveway leads around to a yard area and the stable building comprising two loose boxes, tack room and store. On the other side of the drive is another level lawned garden area enclosed by clipped hedging and surrounded by shrubs and trees and a small paddock, and beyond the stable yard is an extensive gently sloping pasture paddock.

Eastwood house is situated amidst the rolling Devon farmland just to the west of Exeter.
