The property comes to the market for the first time in over 40 years!. Conveniently and superbly located in this exceptionally popular road, the property enjoys delightful outlooks over its own large level lawned gardens at the rear. There is a drive access at the front leading to an attached garage too. Overall the accommodation is well proportioned and the potential is immense!
Directions:
From the city centre of Exeter proceed along Exe Bridges via Western Way taking the first exit on to Alphington Street/Road (A377). Continue under the railway bridge and take the second turning on the right in to Prince's Street east. Continue on this road for a short distance and then turn first left into Queens road. the property being sold will be found along the road on the left.
The property occupies a great position set back from the road and is situated in a great level location in a very well regarded position in St Thomas in the historic cathedral city of Exeter. The area has an excellent range of amenities nearby including schools, doctors surgery, restaurants, local shops and convenience stores including the local large Sainsbury's store which is not far away together with all the great amenities available in Marsh Barton. The city centre is also handy and there are many walks along the river and popular quay.
COMMUNICATIONS:

Regular services of intercity trains operate from Exeter St Davids to London Paddington and from Exeter Central to London Waterloo. Exeter and Bristol Airports offer flights to a wide variety of national and international destinations.
This is an amazing and rare opportunity to purchase a very well located detached family property, understood to have been built in 1950's and on the market now for the first in over 40 years, having been loved and enjoyed by the same family throughout. The house has been well looked after but is now in need of attention having amazing potential for updating and modernisation throughout and possible extension subject to consents. It occupies a large level site well bounded by brick walling and fencing with generous enclosed rear gardens mainly of lawned areas plus patios, mature borders, shrubs, small trees, hedges and fences.
The property is very well positioned in this well regarded road and the principal rooms enjoy excellent outlooks especially from the rear over its own generous garden. The internal accommodation is well planned and takes advantage of its outlooks over the site very well. It also has fantastic potential for additional expansion (subject to consents) because it is such a good sized site and this, in the agent's opinion, would not impact on the balance of the garden size at all. The accommodation flows well and includes an entrance hall with stairway to the first floor and w.c. From the hall a door leads to the sitting room and dining area which overloks and has access out to the rear garden. There is also a good sized kitchen also overlooking the garden and door leading out to the adjoining sunroom, side passage and garage. Upstairs there are 3 good bedrooms and a well fitted shower room and a separate w.c.
Outside the property is approached at the front by a driveway, flanked on one side by a pretty lawned garden setting the house back from the road and leads to the good single garage. The rear gardens are very generously proportioned, mature and level, in the main laid to lawn plus patios including a number of shrubs,bushes, plants and trees and contained within hedges and fencing. There is also a useful garden store / workshop. Properties in this location very rarely come for sale, particularly ones that have such great scope for all sorts of improvement and even further expansion if required (subject to consents, etc). Early inspection is therefore very strongly recommended!
