Fore Street, Silverton

Situated in the picturesque and ever-popular village of Silverton, this delightful period home is brimming with character whilst benefiting from a range of recent renovations carried out by the current owner. The property has been sympathetically updated to combine traditional charm with modern comfort. Recent improvements include a newly installed boiler, full electrical rewiring, and a beautifully refitted bathroom and en suite. These essential upgrades ensure any further changes need only be cosmetic to make the property your own.

At nearly 1800 sq ft, the property offers greater space than you might initially expect as you look from the front. Stepping in to a small porch way and then on into the hallway, the striking feature tiles immediately catch your eye as they lead straight through on to the staircase, where a window allows the natural light to flow in from the rear of the property. Either side of the hallway are entrances to the two main reception rooms, as well as a door into the dining room which passes on into the kitchen. The downstairs has a lovely flow as you loop from the kitchen, along the rear of the property through the rustic utility area and back round to the living room and hallway. There is also a very handy ground floor wet room that sits at the back of the house, just off the living room.

Upstairs, the layout can be configured in a variety of ways to suit, with four bedrooms opening from the light and roomy landing. Two of the bedrooms are interconnected presenting the opportunity for a fifth bedroom or perhaps a dressing room or a study.

Both a single door and double doors open from the back of the property onto the sunny, fully enclosed walled garden that offers privacy, charm and plenty of space for keen gardeners to tend to. Two separate patio areas create perfect spots for outdoor living — one bathed in sunlight, ideal for morning coffee or evening dining, and the other providing a welcome shaded retreat during warmer days. It’s a peaceful and versatile space, perfect for relaxing or entertaining.

Silverton is located on the commuter friendly side of Exeter—as well as being handily located for access to Exeter airport and both Exeter St. David’s and Tiverton Parkway train stations—and is thought to be one of the oldest villages in Devon. It continues to be an extremely sought after village as it provides the fantastic combination of the ‘village lifestyle’ whilst also being well connected to the city of Exeter. Amenities in the village itself are exceptional, with a brilliant Doctor’s surgery, convenience store, post office, primary school and two pubs.
