Set on a substantial plot in the popular village of West Hill, this late-1970s detached home offers flexible living across 2,586 sq ft. The property includes five bedrooms, two bathrooms and a large family/games room with mezzanine and wood-burning stove — a space with clear potential to convert to a granny annexe subject to necessary planning consents. The house sits beside approximately 1.05 acres of paddock with independent access, offering scope for outdoor living, hobby farming or equestrian use.
Internally the layout suits a growing family: a kitchen/breakfast room with adjoining utility, a living room opening to the garden, and a separate dining area. Practical benefits include double and single garages and a wide driveway providing ample parking (driveway is shared with the neighbouring bungalow). The home benefits from double glazing fitted since 2002, fast broadband, excellent mobile signal and very low local crime — useful for both family life and those working from home.
Buyers should note the property’s age and some maintenance considerations. Heating is oil-fired via boiler and radiators, walls have partial cavity insulation (assumed), and council tax is described as quite expensive. There are only two bathrooms for five bedrooms, which may prompt upgrading. Any change of use for the games room to a separate living unit would require planning permission and building regulation approval.
Overall this is a versatile family home in a prosperous, semi-rural setting close to Exeter. It will suit buyers seeking significant outdoor space and adaptable internal accommodation, and may also interest investors or multi-generational families willing to modernise and reconfigure parts of the house.
