5 Bedroom Detached House to Rent

Full Description

The Vista is a striking, contemporary home occupying an enviable elevated position on the edge of the sought-after village of Longdown. Set within a generous plot, the property enjoys far-reaching views across the Devon countryside towards Exeter, which forms a central feature of the design. Built to an exceptional standard, this impressive five bedroom residence combines high quality finishes with well proportioned living spaces and eco credentials, creating a home that is both stylish and highly functional.

THE PROPERTY
With the accommodation nicely spread over three floors, The Vista boasts quality finishes throughout with features including ceramic wood-effect flooring, oak staircases and doors, Siemens integrated appliances and a contemporary Stovax built-in woodburner. The ground floor accommodation is centred around a welcoming entrance hall leading to a spacious open-plan kitchen and dining area. The modern kitchen is fitted with quartz worktops and integrated appliances, and a central island with breakfast bar adds to the kitchen’s functionality while creating a natural hub for everyday living. The dining area is central to the home and immediately to the rear sits a floor to ceiling bay window which offers simply breathtaking views over the valley and countryside beyond. It’s the true essence of ‘The Vista’.

The adjoining sitting room is equally impressive, featuring sliding doors to both the balcony and a sun terrace, along with the Stovax woodburner cleanly inset for a modern finish. Completing this level is a utility room with matching fitted units and garden access, and a cloakroom.

The upper floor provides a versatile bedroom or den with a stunning picture window, a further double bedroom, shower room and a useful study. The lower ground floor is dedicated to bedroom accommodation and includes an impressive master bedroom with en suite shower room featuring a rain shower, and double doors opening onto a terrace and the garden beyond. There are two additional bedrooms on this level, a stylish family bathroom and a plant room housing the boiler and heating controls. Additionally, a large storage area which is accessed separately could be converted to provide further accommodation.

Externally, the property is approached through a secure gated entrance with sliding electric vehicle gate, leading to a paved driveway providing ample parking and access to a detached double garage. A large sun terrace to the side of the house is ideal for alfresco dining, while the rear and side gardens have been landscaped to provide a level lawn, growing areas, various seating areas and a charming pond.

Built in 2018, the home utilises modern construction standards and benefits from air source heat pump, under floor heating and solar panels; making it economical to run, with an EPC rating of ‘B’. There are two years remaining on the new homes warranty.
