Full Details for 3 Bedroom Detached for sale in Exeter, EX6 :

This lovely house is set in a generous sized plot with good sized front and rear gardens, two garages and has the potential for further development subject to the necessary consent. NO ONWARD CHAIN. EPC - D.
SITUATION & DESCRIPTION: : The pretty village of Cockwood lies on the beautiful Exe Estuary. Homes on the popular viewpoint of Cofton Hill only come to market on rare occasions. The village has a scenic harbour. Two gastro pubs are within walking distance of Little Guinea. Cockwood has a thriving community, with a primary school (rated highly by OFSTED), and a church, village hall, indoor pool and gym on its west side at Cofton.
The university and cathedral city of Exeter is approximately 10 miles to the north. There is easy access to the M5 and the A38, and to Dartmoor, via Mamhead or Kenn on Haldon Hill, or via Exeter. A regular bus service connects Cockwood to Exeter, and nearby Dawlish and Newton Abbot. Less than a mile away, the larger estuary village of Starcross has a train station on the Exeter to Plymouth line, and a summer ferry across to Exmouth.
For shopping, Starcross has a mini supermarket, chemist, garage, and medical centre. A Sainsbury's superstore and filling station is situated on the near side of Dawlish. Dawlish itself is full of individual quirky shops and has a swimming pool and gym at the leisure centre, a medical centre, veterinary practice and a dental practice.
The sandy beaches are popular with families and have Blue Flag status. There is a choice of clubs for sailing and golfing. The Exe Estuary Trail runs along the estuary front of Cockwood and provides easy and level walking and cycling. At Mamhead above Cockwood, there are many walks through Haldon Forest Park, excellent for dog walking. Powderham Castle has a farm shop, caf�, deer park, and garden centre, and hosts a variety of outdoor events throughout the summer.
Little Guinea would suit a variety of potential buyers and it also has the space and the potential to be adapted by a family who wish to put their own stamp upon it. The Views are enthralling and can be enjoyed from every level and from the garden.

Further on at the very top, a 'secret' area underneath mature conifers invites use as a children's private den with views out towards the sea beyond Dawlish Warren, or, could be used for extra storage.
