SITUATION

No1 The Halt is one of seven individually designed detached family homes set in a quiet close in the “village” suburb of Alphington on Exeter's western fringes. The neighbourhood is well served for shops, schools and all of the amenities required for modern family life thanks to its proximity to Marsh Barton where you can buy everything from a lightbulb to a Ferrari. If this isn't enough, Exeter's busy city centre is only one and a half miles away. For those wishing to venture further afield the A30 is close by providing easy access to the coast and moors as well as West Devon, Cornwall and the M5.

With a population of approximately 115,000, one of the best respected universities in the UK, its own top flight rubgy team and its historic cathedral Exeter is deservedly the regional capital of Devon. It enjoys excellent transport links thanks to its proximity to the M5, A30 and A38, fast trains which run regularly to Bristol, London and Penzance whilst its airport provides numerous flights to domestic and international destinations. The city enjoys a vibrant cultural life from its award winning Royal Albert Memorial Museum through regular food, music and arts festivals to a thriving restaurant and nightlife scene. For the active Exeter is close to Devon's south coast where there are plenty of opportunities for sailing, kayaking and even kite-surfing whilst Dartmoor, only 12 miles away, provides for walkers, mountain bikers and horse riders. If a little retail therapy is needed the city centre has all of the big names from the high street including a soon to be opened flagship John Lewis store and a host of small, independent retailers.



DESCRIPTION

Originally designed and built to be a family home for one of the builders, No1 The Halt demonstrates an attention to detail and quality not found in many new homes. From the oak doors and marble flooring to the spa-standard bathrooms it is easy to see that this property was built to a very high specification.

The hall provides access to the lounge, kitchen and cloakroom as well as the stairs which rise to the first floor. Set at the rear of the house the lounge feels full of natural light and space thanks to its size, large French doors and an open archway which leads through into the double aspect dining room. A feature fireplace provides a natural focus to the room. The dining room enjoys views out into, and across the secluded rear gardens. Like the lounge there are large French doors which open out into the garden. Moving back to the front of the house there is a very contemporary fitted kitchen housing all of the modern conveniences one would expect from a home of this quality. Sleek black cabinets and wooden counters provide plenty of work and storage space whilst integrated appliances include a fridge / freezer, dish washer, washing machine / tumble dryer and range style gas hob with double ovens. Last but not least on the ground floor is the cloakroom which would do justice to any boutique hotel to be found in the city centre with its contrasting tiling, sleek cisternless WC and contemporary wash basin.

Moving upstairs all of the bedrooms are good sized doubles with plenty of built-in storage and hanging space. The double aspect master bedroom overlooks the front of the property and has its own luxurious ensuite shower room. Quality tiling and bespoke fittings including the corner shower cubicle, wood sink unit and cisternless WC combine to create a sophisticated, adult feel. The family bathroom continues this theme with the same quality tiling, fixtures and fittings as well as a bespoke walk-in shower cubicle. A lot of thought went into the layout of the house and the way in which space could be maximised and an excellent example of this is the study area which looks out over the rear garden. In any other house, what would simply be dead space provides a useful and practical work area.

Moving outside the garage has its own side door as well as a powered garage door and it is here that the boiler can be found. There is a gate to one side of the house giving access to the secure and secluded rear garden which has been landscaped and planted for ease of maintenance. Its corner plot means that the property enjoys one of the largest gardens in the development and as a result there is plenty of room to play, relax and dine alfresco. To the front of the house there is a brick paved off road parking area and lawned garden.

The attention to detail dedicated to the fixtures and fittings found in this family home also extended to its fabric. As well as a central heating system provided by a modern condensing boiler, there is a separate electric under-floor heating system on the ground floor ensuring that the home has a flexible and adaptable range of heating solutions. Hot water is provided my a pressurised hot water system which delivers hot water quickly and reliably regardless of the load on the system which is very important in any family home. All of this results in a warm, comfortable home which is economical and efficient to run.
