Farringdon, Exeter EX5

Description

An exceptionally spacious, light and airy three-bedroom apartment extending to approximately 1,565 sq ft, enjoying an idyllic country setting within the grounds of an impressive Grade II Listed former manor house, yet just five miles from Exeter.

Flat 10 is a particularly impressive apartment, offering an exceptional level of space and flexibility rarely found in apartment living. Arranged over two floors and extending to approximately 1,565 sq ft, the accommodation has a wonderfully light, airy and spacious feel throughout, with generous proportions and large windows taking full advantage of the peaceful setting and views across the surrounding grounds.

The principal living room is a superb space, extending to approximately 21'10" at its maximum, with an abundance of natural light and attractive views over the communal grounds. The kitchen/dining room is equally impressive at over 21 feet in length, creating a wonderful sociable space for everyday living and entertaining. There are two further well-proportioned bedrooms on this floor, including a particularly generous principal bedroom with an impressive en suite, together with a further bathroom.

A staircase rises to the upper floor where a charming third bedroom, or alternatively an excellent home office or additional reception space, enjoys a feature window and lovely views across the grounds. A useful shower room completes this level, adding further flexibility to the accommodation.

The combination of exceptional proportions, natural light and a versatile two-storey layout gives the apartment a genuine sense of space more commonly associated with a house, whilst retaining the ease and convenience of apartment living.

Outside, the setting is a major part of the appeal. The six acres of communal grounds provide a wonderful extension to the living accommodation, comprising principally open areas of lawn and meadow together with mature trees, shrubs and a number of pleasant seating areas.

The parking provision is another particularly noteworthy feature. The apartment has three allocated parking spaces, together with the benefit of additional spare/visitor parking, an exceptional level of provision for an apartment and one which will be particularly attractive to those requiring space for several vehicles or regular guests. There is also use of a timber shed for bicycle storage.

Farringdon House therefore offers a rare combination of exceptional space, light and versatility, beautiful communal grounds and unusually generous parking, all within a peaceful rural setting yet remarkably convenient for Exeter and the wider region.
