Summary - 5 SCHOOL HILL COCKWOOD EXETER EX6 8RF
5 bed 2 bath Bungalow
Large five-bedroom bungalow with elevated estuary views and a substantial garden.
Almost 2,200 sq ft single-storey accommodation
Set on a very large plot in the picturesque village of Cockwood, this single-storey, five-bedroom bungalow offers almost 2,200 sq ft of flexible, light-filled living arranged on one level. Rear-facing principal rooms and a raised deck enjoy elevated views over the Exe Estuary, creating excellent indoor–outdoor flow for entertaining and family life. The L-shaped kitchen/dining room, generous sitting room with feature fireplace and principal bedroom stretching over 23 ft all emphasise comfortable, spacious proportions.
The house has been thoughtfully extended and well maintained, with quality fixtures, double glazing and a fitted utility. Practical additions include a detached double garage, side driveway parking and a wraparound private garden laid mainly to lawn with mature hedging. There is clear scope to adapt or extend the single-storey footprint further (subject to planning), making the site appealing to families who want long-term flexibility or buyers seeking estuary-front living.
Buyers should note some practical considerations: the property dates from the mid-20th century so future buyers may wish to update services or modernise finishes to personal taste, council tax is described as expensive, and local broadband and mobile signals are average. The immediate area is a quiet, ageing rural neighbourhood on a generally low-crime stretch, with good primary schooling and village amenities nearby but limited wider services on the doorstep.
Overall this detached bungalow will suit families or downsizers wanting single-level living with exceptional estuary views, a substantial garden and easy access to coastal countryside. Its elevated outlook, generous room sizes and development potential on a large plot make it an appealing option for anyone seeking characterful coastal living close to Exeter.
