Location
An extensive double fronted detached family home, set within a beautifully appointed and spacious garden that also offers a large three berth garage and workshop.
22 West Avenue is an prominent double-fronted detached house, set within a beautifully appointed and large garden, additionally offering off-street parking, a four berth garage that offers possible further development opportunities, and located on one of Exeter's most sought-after residential roads.
An outstanding family home, the property was meticulously reconstructed after World War II and offers approximately 3,500 square feet of adaptable living space across three floors. The four to six bedrooms, three reception rooms, hallways and kitchen are all well-proportioned and feature high ceilings throughout, with the two further bedrooms located on the second floor.
An open and inviting hallway welcomes with exquisite wooden parquet flooring and a sweeping staircase leading to the first-floor landing. The front of the property has two generously proportioned bay-fronted reception rooms, with a further reception room at the rear of the house overlooking the garden. A breakfast room, also overlooking the garden, leads to the kitchen that is also located towards the back of the house. Well-appointed, the kitchen features extensive fitted storage, integrated appliances, and an Aga. A utility room, and a ground floor shower room with a WC complete the makeup of the ground floor of the property.
The striking galleried landing of the first floor leads to four spacious double bedrooms, offering wardrobe storage space, and including a substantial principle bedroom that features an ensuite shower room. The first floor also offers a family bathroom and a separate shower room.
The second floor offers versatile space offering two further possible bedrooms that is currently configured as a office/study and a music room. There is considerable scope for further expansion into the very large roof space on either side, subject to the necessary approvals. This has been used by the present occupiers as storage on one side and a workshop/ model railway on the other.
Gardens and Grounds
The front of the property is approached by dual wrought iron gates to an in-out driveway that offers plenty off-street parking space, and leads to a single garage to the right hand side of the property. The driveway encompasses a small front lawn and has a perimeter of mature shrubs and hedgerows.
The garden to the rear is a true highlight and feature, with a generously sized manicured lawn, flowering shrub beds, paved pathways meandering through the garden, and terraced areas adjoining to the house. At the far end of the lawn, where the sun can be enjoyed through most parts of the day, there is a charming gravelled seating area and a delightful summerhouse that lend for a truly peaceful setting.
Further on from the rear of the garden, there is a brick-built three berth garage and workshop building, with a spacious forecourt. While currently a superb option for any car enthusiast, it also lends for possible development opportunities for a separate detached dwelling, subject to the necessary planning consents, particularly keeping in mind the available access via Pennsylvania Crescent.
