Description
This 1930s detached bungalow is set on an elevated residential street in East Teignmouth, within reach of the town, beach and local amenities. The accommodation includes a hallway, a front-facing living room with bay window and fireplace, and a rear kitchen and dining area with access to a garden room. Two bedrooms are described, along with a separate study that may offer alternative use, subject to checking feasibility. The bathroom has a bath, WC and wash basin, and a loft hatch with pull-down ladder provides access to the roof space.
The property is offered in need of modernisation. The kitchen has fitted wall and base units and space for appliances; the listing states that the boiler needs replacing and the gas central heating is not currently operational. There are front and rear gardens, with the elevated rear garden described as having views across East Teignmouth and possible access to West Buckeridge Road from its upper section. The home is freehold, has an EPC rating of E and is in Council Tax Band C.

59out of 100
Grade DWeak opportunity
Confidence: MEDIUM
At £300,000, this detached 1930s bungalow is attractively priced against the local £/sqf benchmark, giving a project buyer a cheaper entry point into an elevated East Teignmouth position with town and coastal views, bay windows and period fireplaces. The dated finishes offer scope to refresh the interiors, while the overgrown, steep rear garden could be reshaped to make better use of the outdoor space.
The overall grade is D because the economics are less compelling than the entry price: purchase plus the renovation midpoint comes to about £360,000, which looks tight against local value benchmarks before fees. The boiler also needs replacing and the gas heating is not currently operational, so budget and programme need careful planning.
Key opportunities
- Refresh the dated interiors, including the fitted kitchen, bathroom finishes, decoration and flooring.
- Rework the steep, heavily overgrown rear garden to make the stepped outdoor space more usable.
- Bring out the period character of the bay windows and fireplaces in an elevated position with town and coastal views.
Key risks
- The boiler needs replacing and the gas heating is not currently operational.
- The rear garden is steep and substantially overgrown, with steps and retaining walls that may add to the work involved.
