Summary - Fern Villa, Exbourne EX20 3RX
4 bed 2 bath Semi-Detached
Characterful four-bed home with approved plans to create a vaulted kitchen diner.
Four bedrooms and two reception rooms with original fireplaces
Tucked on a quiet village lane in Exbourne, this Victorian semi-detached cottage blends period character with flexible family living. Two front reception rooms, original fireplaces and timber details create warm, comfortable living spaces, while a light-filled sunroom and a large multi-purpose rear area extend daily living and home-working options.
Planning permission is already approved to reconfigure the rear extension into a vaulted kitchen-diner with an added utility and shower room, offering clear scope to create a contemporary open-plan hub. The property sits on a decent plot with private front and rear cottage gardens, patio seating, covered BBQ shelter and a garage store with off-street parking across the lane.
Practical considerations are straightforward: the house is solid-brick, built before 1900, with older double glazing and oil-fired boiler and radiators. There is no assumed cavity insulation in the walls and some upgrading (insulation, heating and modernisation) may be required to improve running costs and comfort. Broadband speeds are average, though mobile signal is excellent.
Set in a close-knit village with a well-regarded primary school, community shop, pub and easy access to Dartmoor, this home suits families or buyers seeking a countryside lifestyle with genuine scope to add value and create a modern family kitchen-diner using the approved plans. Council tax is low, and there is convenient parking and storage nearby.
