Description
The entrance door opens to a warm and welcoming reception hallway, finished with high quality oak flooring and features a large walk-in storage cupboard with lighting. The ground floor cloakroom comprises a pedestal wash hand basin with a part tiled surround and a close coupled WC. High quality Amtico flooring and an obscure double-glazed window. Glazed oak doors from the hallway open to the sitting room, a lovely sized reception room featuring a log burner nestled into a recess with a slate hearth and window to the side.
The living room or perhaps playroom is a further spacious, light reception room with double glazed doors opening outside. From here an oak door opens to the rear hallway and a study, perfect for home working with a built-in desk surface and a shelving unit for storage.
The kitchen/family room is the centre piece of the house, perfect for family living and entertaining. A fabulous light, modern room with two sets of bi-fold doors opening to the private garden and creating an indoor-outdoor flow. The spacious layout allows for a large dining table and chairs and comfortable seating. The kitchen area is fitted with a one and a half bowl stainless steel sink unit with a mixer tap, set into high quality quartz work tops complemented by soft closing base cupboards, deep drawer units and a matching range of wall cupboards and the room features a central island with a quartz top and a breakfast bar with space for stools. There are a range of quality integrated appliances including a Neff double oven and induction hob with extractor hood over, a Siemens dishwasher, wine cooler and an upright fridge/freezer.
The utility room comprises a stainless-steel sink unit with mixer tap, set into a work top with soft closing base cupboards, deep drawers and matching wall units. There is plumbing and space for both a washing machine and a tumble dryer. A cupboard houses the boiler, and the room is finished with stylish tiled flooring and part tiled walls. A double-glazed door opens to the garden.
The first floor is approached by an attractive turning staircase with exposed balustrades and a feature window overlooking the rear. The landing is well lit with a skylight window and there is access to the loft storage space. The airing cupboard houses the water tank and slatted shelving.
The impressive principal bedroom is an excellent size with dual aspect double glazed windows enjoying glorious far-reaching views of the surrounding countryside. The room benefits from fitted wardrobes and a walk-in dressing area with additional storage.
The well-appointed en suite bathroom has two oval sink units, set into a storage surface with a large wall mounted mirror and storage space below. A bath with a mixer tap and tiled surround, a large shower enclosure with a mains shower unit and glazed screen and a close coupled WC. There is a chrome ladder style heated towel rail and stylish tiled flooring. Ceiling spotlights and a double-glazed window.
The second double bedroom enjoys beautiful views over the surrounding countryside and has a range of fitted wardrobes. The en suite to this room features a wash hand basin with a mixer tap and tiled surround and an electric shaver socket. A close coupled WC and spacious shower enclosure with tiled walls, mains shower unit and glazed screen. Ceiling spotlights and a chrome ladder style heated towel rail.
The third spacious bedroom has fitted wardrobes and substantial built in eaves cupboard with shelving and light and a double-glazed window overlooks the garden.
Bedroom four, again a lovely size, enjoys similarly pleasant far-reaching views and has a fitted double wardrobe.
Bedroom five has a tranquil view to the rear and also has a fitted wardrobe and a loft hatch.
The stylish family bathroom is equipped with a wash hand basin and mixer tap, close coupled WC and a jacuzzi bath with a mains shower unit and glazed screen. Recessed storage shelving, fully tiled walls and flooring, two chrome ladder style heated towel rails and an obscure double-glazed window.
Drummonds is approached through double timber gates opening to a gravelled driveway for many vehicles and leading to the detached double garage with a remote-control door, power, light and loft storage space. To the front of the house there are planted borders. Beyond the double garage a hardstanding provides additional parking along with a timber storage shed, log store and a raised area of level lawn enclosed with mature boundaries.
Gates on either side of the house open to the rear garden. A private space featuring a large patio perfect for outdoor dining and entertaining, complete with courtesy lighting. Beyond, a well-maintained lawn with lush, mature planted borders. A modern decked seating area sits atop a raised level taking advantage of the late evening sunshine. A paved pathway runs along the rear of the house with outside water tap.
Situation
The property is situated in an idyllic, private location, within the charming village of Longdown, with fantastic countryside views. Longdown is equidistant from the cathedral city of Exeter and Dartmoor National Park. Exeter has a good range of educational, cultural, and retail facilities with excellent transport links. The A30 dual carriageway, just 2 miles away, links to the M5 motorway, allowing for easy commuting across the country. Exeter also has two main line railway stations and an expanding airport.
