SITUATION
This is a superb and extremely rare opportunity to purchase a very well located semi-detached village house which comes to the open market for the first time since its original construction in the 1950s having been lovingly cared for and well maintained by the present owner who has also made many improvements over the years including the installation of gas central heating, upvc double glazing, etc, and more recently the replacement of the garage which now has an electric up and over door. This is a property which occupies a superb slightly elevated position and enjoys excellent outlooks across the village including the recreation ground, village tennis courts and across to the church and other parts of the village and even beyond this to the hills and fields in the distance. The property stands on a very good sized corner site which includes level lawned gardens protected by manicured privet hedging and wooden fencing and it also has its own separate driveway access off Livingshayes Lane providing extra on site parking and turning. Although already providing most comfortable well proportioned accommodation this particular house by merit of its position and good sized corner site also has further potential for improvement, expansion and even possibly extension subject to all the necessary consents being first sought and obtained.
The house is within walking distance of the village centre including the village hall, doctors' surgery, shops and other facilities and it is also extremely handily placed for a short walk to the local highly regarded primary school. Silverton is an extremely favoured village which is itself superbly located in the Exe valley having a good range of facilities including a general store with adjoining butchers shop, three good pubs, churches and much much more. In close proximity the National Trust house at Killerton with its lovely grounds and country walks is also about 1.5 miles away and for commuters the city of Exeter is just over 8 miles to the south. For those with family the village recreation ground is just a short stroll away.
For those who require fast road access the M5 motorway at either Cullompton or Sowton, both only about 5 miles distant and Silverton is also well placed for access to the Met Office also at Sowton. Overall this is a fantastic and rare opportunity to acquire a most comfortable property which amazingly still has lots of potential and which comes to the open market for the first time ever at a sensible price and the sole agents wholeheartedly recommend early inspection, few will be disappointed.
