4 bedroom house

Pinhoe House is tucked away on Gipsy Hill in an excellent position for the road networks and cycle routes in Exeter. The house has a small lodge house attached on one side but it does in fact offer a great deal of privacy. The current owners have undertaken a large renovation project fitting new bathrooms, new radiators, new wiring and re-decorating throughout. The accommodation is spacious and the house has a light and airy feeling. All four bedrooms have en suites and the principal bedroom also has a dressing room. The views towards Exmouth, the estuary and beyond from the first floor are outstanding. The ground floor has an AGA in the kitchen, a separate dining hall, a sitting room with lovely ornate cornicing and a marble fireplace, a study, utility and boot room. There is also a cellar room ideal for a variety of purposes including storage, as a gym or home cinema room. A very large attic provides extensive storage space and may be suitable for conversion subject to the relevant planning consents.
