Description
This four-bedroom detached house near Exeter occupies a substantial plot with a garden and adjoining field. The property offers scope for refurbishment and extension, and the listing states that planning permission is in place until April 2027. The existing accommodation includes well-proportioned rooms, large windows and countryside views. A wood-burning stove is fitted in the main reception room; other fireplaces have been capped, and one has been reconfigured. The roof has reportedly been repaired.
Outside, the grounds include mature trees, lawn and open views, with the listing describing approximately 2.2 acres in total. A shared septic tank is located at the end of the property, and a gate leads towards the nearby road. The listing also mentions potential roadside access to the field, which would need to be checked.
Clyst St George is within reach of Topsham amenities, Exeter city centre, local schools, rail services and the M5 and A30. The property is marketed by Purplebricks, covering Exeter.
WHOTS analysis
Our WHOTS verdict
An internal assessment of the opportunity to acquire, improve and create value.
58out of 100
Grade DWeak opportunity
Confidence: MEDIUM
At £650,000, this detached four-bedroom house is priced slightly below the local average per square foot, which gives it a reasonable starting point for a project. The interiors are usable but plainly dated, making this a light, cosmetic refresh rather than a major renovation; the wood-burning stove, generous windows and rural outlooks add character to the canvas. The overall WHOTS score is 58/100, grade D: strong fundamentals are balanced by only modest value headroom at the current price.
The substantial plot, mature trees and adjoining field are distinctive assets, while the listing also states that planning permission for extension is in place until April 2027; verify the documents and feasibility before relying on it. Some garden areas and exterior details could be improved, but the roof appears intact in the photos.
Key opportunities
- Refresh the dated, utilitarian finishes across the visible living areas for a more contemporary family-home feel.
- Make more of the mature trees, lawn and adjoining field through considered garden improvements.
- Explore the stated extension permission, subject to checking the documents, conditions and feasibility.
