Description

This detached family home presents a unique opportunity for renovation and investment, situated on a generous plot of approximately 0.26 acres. While the property currently requires modernization, it boasts a flexible layout that can accommodate various living arrangements across two floors. Upon entering, you are greeted by an entrance hall that connects to two distinct reception rooms. The sitting room features a charming bay window, allowing natural light to fill the space, while the dining area provides direct access to the garden—a valuable feature for those looking to create an outdoor entertaining area. The ground floor also comprises a kitchen, utility room, and cloakroom, offering ample space for reconfiguration. The first floor encompasses three well-sized bedrooms. The main bedroom is enhanced by another bay window, creating an airy ambiance, while the third bedroom includes a separate dressing room that could easily be transformed into a walk-in wardrobe or additional storage space. Completing this level are the family bathroom and a separate WC. With LPG central heating already in place and no onward chain, this property is ready for new owners to infuse their personal touch and vision. Outside, the expansive garden features established lawns and mature trees, alongside useful storage sheds—a perfect canvas for landscaping or expansion possibilities (subject to planning permission). Located about six miles east of Exeter city center, this home enjoys excellent transport links via the A30 to the M5 motorway and is conveniently close to Cranbrook’s amenities including primary and secondary schools, shopping options such as a supermarket and pharmacy, as well as public transport facilities like the railway station with services to London Waterloo. This combination of location benefits and investment potential makes this property well-positioned for future appreciation.
