Blackhorse, Exeter
Property Summary
This stylish property is a must view for families seeking a well placed home in a sought after semi-rural location with large level gardens and off road parking for several vehicles. Unlike most 1930s properties, this house has a deep arched storm porch which gives the property a distinctive appearance and greater aesthetic appeal.
The property comes with a spacious reception hall, two generous reception rooms, kitchen/breakfast room, utility room with internal link to the integral garage, cloakroom WC, 3 generous bedrooms, family bathroom and the home comforts of uPVC double glazing & gas central heating (new condensing combi boiler).
The property enjoys a convenient and very accessible location within easy reach of all main transport routes. A choice of cycle tracks take you all the way into the city centre and there is a regular bus service to and from the city centre.
The area of Blackhorse used to be on the original main A30 road from Exeter to Honiton but was bypassed in the 1990s and a another bypass to the east of the village now links the new A30 to Cranbrook and the surrounding developments. Nearby pubs/dining venues include the The Black Horse (traditional family pub/restaurant just down the road, Cranberry Farm Pub & Restaurant in the out of town development of Cranbrook, and the ‘The Jack in The Green’ on the way to Whimple which boasts two AA Rosettes and numerous accolades from independent critics as one of the best restaurants in Devon. The Oriental Promise is a popular Chinese restaurant with takeaway service just beyond 'The Jack in the Green'.
