Set on a very large 0.31 acre plot with sweeping views over the Otter valley and Dumpdon Hill, this three-bedroom semi-detached home offers substantial scope for improvement and extension (subject to planning). The house includes a light-filled conservatory, large garden with fruit trees, two greenhouses and a rear garage — excellent for gardeners or buyers wanting outdoor space and rural privacy.
The property has been in the same family for over 65 years and, while structurally traditional and well‑loved, it needs cosmetic updating and ongoing renovation. Heating is provided by an oil-fired Rayburn (which serves cooking, heating and hot water) and there are electric storage heaters; windows are double glazed. There is clear potential to modernise the interior and reconfigure living space to add value.
Important practical points: the sale is chain-free and the plot offers room for growth subject to planning permission. However, there is a local occupancy restriction believed to be imposed under section 157 of the Housing Act 1985—purchasers must have lived or worked in Devon for three years. The house sits in a remote hamlet, with high local crime statistics noted; access to the A30 and Honiton’s amenities is straightforward, and mobile signal and broadband are good.
This home will suit a buyer seeking a large garden, countryside views and refurbishment potential — particularly downsizers or retirees wanting single-level living options and a peaceful rural setting. Investors looking to improve and let should check the occupancy restriction and local planning scope before proceeding.
