5 bed detached house for sale

Kingfisher Close, Newton St. Cyres EX5

A substantial detached home set within the prestigious Kingfisher Close development in Newton St Cyres, a well-regarded village with strong transport links to Exeter and a popular community centred around its large communal green. The house has been designed with space and natural light in mind, offering flexible accommodation across two floors along with a landscaped west-facing garden and a range of high-spec finishes throughout.

At the centre of the ground floor is a large open-plan living area that connects the kitchen, dining and sitting spaces. The kitchen is arranged around a central island and breakfast bar, fitted with white gloss units, quartz worktops, a pantry and integrated appliances including double ovens, eye-level microwave, six-ring gas hob, wine fridge, dishwasher and fridge freezer. Bifold doors open directly onto a covered outdoor dining area with composite decking, creating an easy flow between inside and out. The lounge area continues the open layout and includes a wood-burning stove along with a second set of bifold doors leading onto a veranda overlooking the garden. Underfloor heating runs throughout the ground floor, adding to the overall sense of comfort and practicality. Additional ground floor spaces include a large entrance hall with built-in cloakroom storage and a combined utility room and WC with fitted gloss units and space for laundry appliances.

Upstairs, the principal bedroom sits partially within the eaves, giving it added character, and includes an en suite shower room along with plantation-style shutters. A second double bedroom also benefits from an en suite and enjoys views over the communal green and has a full-height window. Two further double bedrooms are currently arranged as a dressing room and music room, while a fifth bedroom provides a generous single room overlooking the rear garden. A family bathroom with bath and overhead shower serves the remaining accommodation. The landing itself feels particularly bright and open thanks to a full-height window and a spacious stairwell area, with an airing cupboard providing additional storage.

Outside, the rear garden has been professionally landscaped with a pond, vegetable beds and a number of seating areas arranged to make the most of the west-facing aspect. The covered outdoor dining space allows for year-round use and links directly back to the kitchen. To the front, there is parking for at least two vehicles along with an extended garage fitted with an electric roller door. The rear section of the garage has been extended and includes bifold doors, making it easily adaptable to a home office, studio or further workspace if required.

The village itself remains popular thanks to its primary school, regular bus and rail connections, and local venues including The Beer Engine. An annual management fee of approximately £300 contributes towards the upkeep of the communal areas within the development. All residents have control and free use of the central green communal space and a further piece of land to the north of the development.

Overall, this is a thoughtfully designed modern home offering generous living space, adaptable rooms and a strong connection between house and garden, all within one of the more sought-after village settings close to Exeter.
