4 Bed Detached House For Sale St. Leonards Place, Exeter, EX2

The approach to Kentlands is one of rural tranquillity, passing sheep in their fields as you access the property via a private lane. Electric gates then open onto the driveway sweeping around the beautifully landscaped front garden, leading up to the double garage and large parking area.

The front door opens into the entrance hallway, with a door to the right leading very conveniently into the garage. The hallway itself has several feature windows along its length which allow in plenty of natural light and looks out over the courtyard at the rear of the property. The hallway then leads to a large dual aspect sitting room, which has plenty of space for a sofa and chairs arranged around the fireplace and inset wood burner. There is space for a dining table and chairs big enough for the whole family and doors that lead out into the Sunroom.

The kitchen/breakfast room is a great size, with marble work surfaces, a built-in breakfast bar and a large range oven.

At the front of the property, the spectacular sunroom provides a tranquil space to look out over the stunning gardens, pond and fields beyond.

From the inner hallway, there is great potential to adapt the remainder of the ground floor into a self-contained annexe. The rooms are currently a utility room, bathroom, a double bedroom with doors to a conservatory which provides direct access to the rear courtyard.

On the first floor of the property is a spacious master bedroom with built-in storage and a charming window seat, providing yet another opportunity to enjoy the wonderful rural views. An adjoining dressing room with built in storage connects the master bedroom to the En-suite bathroom, which has a corner bath and separate shower. On the opposite side of the en-suite is another room which is currently set up as a bedroom. As this room can only be accessed via the master bedroom and adjoining rooms, this space would be perfect for a nursery or a study.

Also on this floor is a further bathroom, a single bedroom which is currently set up as a study, and a double bedroom with built in wardrobes.
