4 Bedroom Detached House

Situation

Newton Poppleford is a charming East Devon village set within the beautiful East Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, perfectly positioned between the cathedral city of Exeter and the elegant coastal town of Sidmouth, part of the spectacular Jurassic Coast. Sidmouth’s renowned beaches and coastal walks lie just four miles away, while Exeter is approximately twenty minutes by car, offering excellent shopping, dining and transport connections.

The village itself enjoys a strong sense of community and provides a range of everyday amenities including a well-regarded primary school, parish church, village pub, tea rooms, garages and post office, along with a regular bus route connecting to surrounding towns.

Newton Poppleford is particularly loved for its access to the surrounding countryside. The village benefits from excellent sports pitches and open recreational spaces, while picturesque walks follow the banks of the beautiful River Otter, leading through unspoilt countryside towards the coast. For families, excellent secondary schooling options are also within easy reach, including Colyton Grammar School and The King's School, Ottery St Mary.

Description

Sunnybank is an individually designed and beautifully maintained detached home, set within private landscaped gardens with far-reaching countryside views. Offering bright, spacious accommodation throughout, the property features a stylish kitchen/dining room with garden access, an elegant dual-aspect sitting room with open fireplace, and four well-proportioned bedrooms, two with ensuites.

Built and lovingly cared for by its original owners, Sunnybank is a home that reflects thoughtful design, quality craftsmanship and an enduring pride of ownership. Every element has been carefully considered to create generous, beautifully balanced living spaces that work effortlessly for everyday family life while offering a welcoming setting for entertaining. Throughout the property there is a nu-heat underfloor heating system, creating a warm and highly efficient home. 

Ground Floor

A spacious entrance porch provides a warm welcome and leads through to a wide reception hall with a natural slate floor, where practical storage cupboards keep the space uncluttered and functional. From here, the home opens naturally into the principal living areas.

The sitting room is a particularly inviting space, filled with natural light from its dual aspect windows which frame sweeping views across the surrounding countryside. An open fireplace provides a natural focal point, while polished engineered oak flooring adds warmth and elegance underfoot, creating a room that feels both comfortable and refined.

Kitchen & Dining

At the heart of the home lies the beautifully arranged kitchen and dining space

A central island with breakfast bar forms the social hub of the room, perfect for informal dining or conversation while meals are prepared. French doors open directly onto the garden, allowing the space to flow effortlessly outdoors and inviting in natural light throughout the day.

Ground Floor Bedrooms & Bathrooms

Also located on the ground floor are two well-proportioned bedrooms, offering flexibility for guests, family members, or potential single-level living. One of the bedrooms benefits from fitted wardrobes and a sleek, modern ensuite shower room.

A well-appointed four-piece family bathroom completes the floor, featuring a panelled bath and corner shower cubicle, designed with both comfort and practicality in mind.

First Floor

Upstairs, a large galleried landing creates an airy and versatile space, currently incorporating a useful study area ideal for working from home or quiet reading.

Two further double bedrooms are found on this level, both enjoying excellent natural light and far-reaching countryside views. The principal bedroom is particularly impressive, benefitting from an easterly aspect that captures beautiful morning light, walk in wardrobe and its own contemporary ensuite bathroom. There is also useful accessible storage space under the eaves of the property. 

Outside

Sunnybank is approached via a dual driveway leading to an integral double garage with twin doors, providing ample parking and storage.

The gardens wrap gracefully around the property, thoughtfully landscaped to create a variety of outdoor spaces. Sweeping lawns, mature planting and established borders offer colour and privacy throughout the seasons, while a sun-decked terrace provides the perfect setting for outdoor dining and entertaining.

A block-built outbuilding adds further practical storage, and external power points enhance the usability of the garden for a variety of purposes.
