Set back from the village road in sought-after Whitestone, this substantial four-bedroom vicarage sits on a generous 0.33-acre plot with mature lawns, fruit trees and a private, enclosed aspect. Three reception rooms, a kitchen with pantry, utility and a fully powered garden studio offer flexible family living and a useful work-from-home space. The garage and ample driveway parking add practical convenience for multiple cars.
The house has good proportions throughout, including a master bedroom with en-suite, but does require renovation and cosmetic updating. Heating is oil-fired with a boiler and radiators; windows are double glazed (installed before 2002). Broadband speeds are reported as slow and council tax is in a higher band — important practical considerations for buyers.
For families relocating to the Exeter area, the village combines rural tranquillity with accessible amenities: scenic walks, a village hall and regular bus links to Exeter, which is around four miles away. The property’s size, plot and studio provide clear scope to modernise, extend subject to consents, or reconfigure internal space to suit contemporary family life.
This home will suit buyers seeking space, privacy and character who are willing to invest in refurbishment. The low flood risk, very low local crime and peaceful hamlet setting are valuable quality-of-life features, while the oil heating and need for updating define the property’s immediate work list and ongoing running costs.
