Set on a substantial 0.36-acre corner plot, this 1920s detached family home offers traditional period character, generous living space and lovely south-west facing estuary views from the first floor. With five bedrooms across more than 2,200 sq ft, the house suits a growing family who value space, privacy and proximity to Exmouth’s seafront and local amenities.
The property has been in the same ownership for many years and requires general modernisation throughout — an opportunity to update kitchens, bathrooms and finishes while retaining original features such as leaded windows, bay windows and a wood burner. There are practical positives already in place: double glazing, mains gas central heating, solar panels on the rear roof bank, driveway parking and a detached garage.
There is potential to improve access and kerb appeal by creating a new driveway/entrance from Seafield Avenue (subject to planning permission). Sold freehold and with no onward chain, the home is ready for a buyer who wants to invest in renovation to unlock its full potential and panoramic estuary outlook.
Practical notes: the house currently sits in Council Tax Band G and has an EPC rating of C. It is offered with mains services, low local crime, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal. The location provides convenient access to schools, bus routes, the marina and the beach — a desirable setting for family life but one that will need refurbishment to reach contemporary standards.
