52 Sylvan Road is a charming period family home offering 3,229 sq ft of light-filled, flexible accommodation arranged over three floors. The property enjoys striking views over the city and towards the Exe Estuary, maximising its elevated position. Configured for both practical living and entertaining, the current owners have sensitively upgraded and extended the property to incorporate modern amenities such as underfloor heating throughout, together with quality fixtures and fittings. It comprises contemporary, elegant décor while retaining many of its character details, including high ceilings, fine cornicing and original fireplaces.

The ground floor accommodation flows from a welcoming gable end wooden-floored reception hall with useful storage and stairs rising to the first floor. It includes front aspect reception and sitting rooms, both with large bay windows and the latter with wooden flooring and a feature fireplace. To the rear is an open plan suite of rooms comprising the kitchen, dining room, and sunroom. The wooden-floored kitchen has a range of contemporary high-gloss wall and base units, a large central island with breakfast bar, complementary worktops and splashbacks, modern integrated appliances, French doors to the terrace and an inter-connecting fitted utility room with en suite cloakroom and terrace access. A step from the kitchen leads down to an impressive sunroom with tiled flooring and a stone-effect wall with inset woodburner. Bi-fold doors lead to the terrace, allowing floods of natural light throughout.

The first floor features a generous landing leading to three double bedrooms, all with large bay windows overlooking the city. One bedroom includes a fireplace, fitted dressing room and en suite shower room. A stylish family bathroom with freestanding bath and separate level access shower completes this floor. On the second floor, the 29ft L-shaped principal bedroom - currently arranged as a snug/music room - offers versatile living, alongside a further double bedroom and spacious family bathroom. All second floor rooms benefit from skylights and elevated views across the city and surrounding landscape.

The property is approached from either a front gate or over a side driveway providing private parking and giving access to the detached double garage. The property also benefits from three residents’ parking permits. The beautiful, well-maintained garden to the side and rear is laid mainly to gently-sloping lawn bordered by well-stocked flower and shrub beds. It features a paved seating area, an adjacent covered decked dining area and a generous wraparound paved terrace, accessible from the kitchen, utility and sunroom. The whole is ideal for entertaining and al fresco dining.
