Description

Offered at auction by the Modern Method of Sale, this detached two-bedroom bungalow has a driveway, car port and detached garage, together with a large rear garden and views towards the Exe Estuary. The accommodation is arranged around a central hallway, with two double bedrooms, a lounge opening into a sunroom, a kitchen with access to a separate utility area, and a family bathroom. The property is offered as a renovation project, giving buyers scope to update the existing rooms and consider how best to use the available space. Outside, the front garden is set back from the road and the long driveway provides off-road parking. The rear garden includes storage sheds and backs onto National Trust land. The listing states that covenants protect the estuary outlook. A nearby access path connects with the Exe Estuary Trail. The loft is boarded and has lighting and a Velux window. The listing identifies possible conversion or upward extension, subject to planning permission and building regulations; feasibility would need to be checked. The auction terms include a 56-day reservation period, a £349 buyer information pack fee and a reservation fee of 4.5% of the purchase price, subject to a £6,600 minimum, including VAT.

WHOTS analysis

Our WHOTS verdict

An internal assessment of the opportunity to acquire, improve and create value.

43out of 100
Grade ELow opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

The standout here is the setting: a detached bungalow with a large rear garden, estuary outlook, driveway, car port and detached garage. The interior is dated but appears usable, making this a light project for someone to refresh the finishes, improve the garden and make the most of the sunroom and outdoor space. The boarded loft, lighting and Velux add useful scope, though conversion feasibility is not established.

At £325,000, the asking price is above the local £/sqf benchmark, and the numbers look tight: purchase plus the estimated refurb midpoint comes to £335,000, above the implied local-average value benchmark. That does not rule out a project buyer who values the outlook and setting, but leaves limited room on the current figures.

Key opportunities

  • Refresh dated finishes and flooring to give the usable interior a more contemporary feel.
  • Improve the extensive rear garden while making better use of its patio, deck, established hedges and outlook.
  • Explore the boarded loft as a potential future project, subject to confirming feasibility and permissions.
