Summary - LONGFIELD CHURCH ROAD WHIMPLE EXETER EX5 2TF
5 bed 4 bath Detached Bungalow
Flexible five‑bed bungalow with large plot and income‑generating cattery.
Five bedrooms with flexible multi‑generational layout and separate annexe
Set on approximately 0.6 acre with a south‑westerly aspect, this adaptable five-bedroom detached bungalow suits multi-generational living and mixed home‑and‑income use. The plot includes well-maintained gardens, two garages, a caravan port and a well-established 5-star boarding cattery with 20 pens that currently generates regular income. A self-contained ground-floor annexe is separately council-taxed and let, offering immediate rental return or space for guests.
The accommodation is flexible: a main lounge/dining room with wood burner and conservatory, a principal bedroom with built-in wardrobes, two further first-floor bedrooms (one en-suite), a spacious study, and multiple kitchen areas including an oil AGA. One of the ground-floor kitchens and an upstairs bedroom/shower suite were previously used as independent accommodation, so the layout easily supports separate households or can be reconnected to form a single home by removing an internal stud partition.
Practical considerations are straightforward and important to factor in. The property has electric storage heaters alongside the oil AGA; glazing is double but install dates are unknown. The main kitchen is dated (1980s) and would benefit from modernization; some external areas and outbuildings show overgrowth and require maintenance. Drainage is private; council tax is above average. Overall the house presents clear potential for refurbishment to increase capital value or to enhance rental income from the cattery and annexe.
This location on the edge of Whimple offers rural village life with good commuter links: a local primary school rated Good, village amenities and a railway station with services to Exeter and beyond. The plot size, flexible internal layout and established business make this a strong opportunity for buyers seeking a family home with income potential or an investor willing to refresh and reposition the property.
