LOCATION
Exmouth is a thriving coastal town renowned for its long sandy beach, dramatic Jurassic Coast scenery and excellent lifestyle amenities. The town offers a strong sense of community alongside a wide variety of shops, cafés and restaurants, together with sailing, walking and water sports opportunities.
The surrounding area is well known for its outstanding natural beauty, with easy access to coastal walks, cycle paths and the Exe Estuary, a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Despite its coastal setting, Exmouth remains highly practical for everyday living.
Educational facilities are well regarded, and there are convenient transport links, including a mainline railway station providing regular services to Exeter. The cathedral city itself offers a more extensive range of cultural, retail and business amenities, together with access to the M5 motorway network and Exeter International Airport.
Drakes Avenue is one of Exmouth’s most sought-after roads and is ideally positioned to take advantage of both the coastal lifestyle and the town’s amenities, making this an appealing location for families, professionals and those seeking a balanced coastal lifestyle.
THE PROPERTY
14 Drakes Avenue is a charming detached 1930s home offering light, spacious accommodation and mature grounds. The entrance hall creates an inviting first impression, with generous proportions and attractive period features. Both reception rooms overlook the garden: the sitting room includes a pretty bay window, while the dining room opens onto the terrace through French doors.
The kitchen/breakfast room is fitted with a range of wall, base and drawer units, together with a breakfast bar. The sink is positioned beneath a window overlooking the front garden, and a rear door leads to a side passage with access to the gardens. The ground floor also includes a cloakroom and utility room.
On the first floor are three double bedrooms and a family bathroom. Each bedroom enjoys an attractive outlook, while the bathroom includes both a separate bath and a free-standing shower.
OUTSIDE
The gardens are attractive and well established, with mature planting and defined borders. At the front, a paved driveway provides parking for at least two cars, alongside a front garden and access to the single garage. To the rear, the level walled garden includes a terrace immediately outside the house, with a further seating area at the far end. The garden is mainly laid to lawn, with flowering shrubs and planting along the borders.
