A four-bedroom detached house on Featherbed Lane offered chain-free and freehold, set in a very low-crime, affluent part of Exmouth. The property sits on a modest plot but benefits from a notably large rear garden, garage and driveway. Ground floor layout includes an open reception hall, dining area, kitchen/breakfast room, utility/WC and a bright triple-aspect lounge with a mid-century fireplace. First floor provides four bedrooms (bedroom 4 has glimpses of the Exe Estuary) and a single bathroom with a four-piece suite.
The house was constructed in the 1930–49 period and retains period character, but much of the interior needs updating. Double glazing was installed before 2002 and the cavity walls are assumed to lack insulation, so energy performance and heating costs may be higher than modern equivalents. The property is supplied by mains gas with a boiler and radiators. Council tax is above average for the area.
This will suit a family wanting easy access to local schools, shops and bus routes, and buyers seeking a renovation project with immediate occupancy (chain-free). The layout and garden offer good potential to reconfigure or extend (subject to consent) and add modern insulation, glazing and kitchen/bathroom upgrades to improve comfort and value. Note there is one bathroom for four bedrooms, which may be a consideration for larger families or multi-occupant buyers.
Practical points: broadband speeds are fast and mobile signal is excellent. The surrounding area is classified as ageing suburbanites and detached retirement living, so check local community needs and school ratings if that matters. Internal inspection is recommended to assess the scale of modernisation required and to verify services and measurements.
