Description

Located on the edge of Topsham, a short walk into the town and to Darts Farm, is this fantastic home on the market for the first time in nearly 25 years.

Extending to the north is a very useful ground floor bedroom and shower room with separate access, making it ideal for a relative or additional income. The ground floor also has the benefit of multiple storage cupboards plus another reception room that would make an ideal snug, study or additional bedroom if required.
Upstairs the property has 3 double bedrooms, with the principal enjoying a large ensuite shower room and lovely views over the garden towards Topsham. In addition there is a family bathroom with WC.
Outside, there is a detached garage/workshop, carport and fully equipped office space providing an ideal workspace away from the main residence. The garden, previously an orchard still enjoys a variety of well-established fruit trees and paved patio areas – perfect for entertaining, alfresco dining or simply enjoying the afternoon sun.

Situation

Clyst St. George is the most southern of the six Clyst parishes in the Valley of the River Clyst. The village is highly popular, being favoured largely due to its geographical location in relation to Exeter City centre, which is about five miles, away making for an easy commute. The location is also very convenient for accessing all major roads and with Junction 30 of the M5 motorway being around 2.5 miles away. Clyst St. George has an excellent Church of England Primary school with a splendid pre-school linked to it and the village falls within the catchment area for both Exmouth Community College and Clyst Vale Community College with a free coach service being available. There is an Anglican church, a village hall, a pub, and the locally renowned Dart's Farm shopping complex is close by. Many functions and activities take place on a regular basis in the village and there is a thriving Cricket Club. The picturesque estuary town of Topsham is around 2-miles to the west with its rail link to Exeter, bustling high street, thriving shops and cafes and well-known public houses. There are boating opportunities on the estuary, as well as good cycle-ways linking the estuary villages and towns with Exeter.
