SITUATION Exton sits on the eastern side of the River Exe Estuary, around six miles from the cathedral city of Exeter, with its extensive range of services and five miles from the coastal town of Exmouth, known for its long sandy beach. Considered a particularly desirable place to live, Exton benefits from its own train station, offering convenient access to both Exeter and Exmouth, the beautiful estuary cycle path and has a petrol station with well stocked convenience store. The Puffing Billy gastro pub is within easy walking distance and the M5, A38, and A30 are all readily accessible and a half-hourly bus service connects the village with Exeter and Exmouth.
DESCRIPTION Located on River Front Road, one of the best addresses in East Devon, Horizons is a spacious family home enjoying fantastic views along the Exe estuary. Plans were granted in 2015 for a substantial alteration of the internal accommodation which included switching the lay-out to include 5 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms on the ground floor with the main living space being on the first floor with a balcony to make the best of the views West over the estuary and across to the Haldon Hills. The current lay-out includes 3 bedrooms on the ground floor, the sitting room and a kitchen/dining room and on the first floor are 2 further bedrooms. Outside to the South is a garden laid mainly to lawn, a patio runs along the Western elevation over looking the estuary and to the North is driveway parking.

On the right is a downstairs bedroom with ensuite and a glass door over looking the estuary and on the left is a modern kitchen/dining room fitted with a modern range of base, wall and drawer units with a granite work top over, fitted appliances and a fitted seating area. An opening leads through to the sitting room with exposed wooden floor boards, fitted wood burner and patio doors opening into the garden and over looking the estuary. Further along is a second hallway with a door opening onto the patio, a staircase rising to the first floor, shower room and two further rooms that could be used as bedrooms or receptions rooms, one leading onto a conservatory.
On the first floor, at the top of the stairs, on the right is a double bedroom with beautiful views across the estuary, there is a large landing area with a door in to a W.C and at the end, a double bedroom with window to the rear overlooking the estuary and feature circular window looking North in the direction of Topsham.
