Updated kitchen and bathroom, ready to occupy
Low-maintenance enclosed rear garden, small in size
Freehold and chain free — quick completion possible

No off-street parking; on-street restrictions likely
Double glazing and mains gas central heating installed
Conservation area — external changes may be restricted
This compact two-bedroom terraced cottage sits in Ide’s conservation area, a short drive or bus ride into Exeter and onto the M5. Presented in clean, neutral condition, the house benefits from recent kitchen and bathroom updates, double glazing and mains gas heating — ready for immediate occupation with no onward chain.
The layout is typical of village terraced cottages: a ground-floor lounge, rear kitchen, bathroom, and two first-floor bedrooms. The enclosed rear garden is low maintenance and private — suitable for summer dining but modest in size. The property is freehold and well suited to a first-time buyer wanting an affordable village base or an investor seeking a straightforward buy-to-let in a popular Exeter-adjacent location.
Important practical notes: the rear of the property is of cob construction and the site shows a high flooding risk. There is likely no off-street parking and the internal footprint is small, so prospective buyers should check suitability for their needs. As the house sits in a conservation area, external alterations may be restricted and specialist surveys are recommended for cob and flooding issues.
