Summary - QUARRIES COTTAGE BARLEY LANE EXETER EX4 1TA
3 bed 1 bath Detached
Single-level living with scope to extend and great city views.
Three double bedrooms on one accessible level
This detached, single-storey bungalow sits on an elevated plot in Higher St Thomas, offering three double bedrooms and far-reaching southerly views across Exeter. The freehold property is easy to live in on one level, with a large living room, a big rear kitchen, and a single family bathroom — practical for downsizers seeking convenience and comfort.
The site is a standout: sizeable wraparound gardens, generous off-street parking for several cars and elevated outlooks that add clear value. Planning permission for a loft conversion has already been granted, providing realistic scope to increase living space and value (plans available on request).
Internally the home is dated and will benefit from modernization to reach its full potential. Construction includes cavity walls that appear to lack insulation (as built), and some rooms show mid-20th-century finishes and wear; budget for updating heating controls, kitchen and decoration. Council Tax Band E is above average and should be factored into running costs.
Location is conveniently placed for local amenities: schools, GPs, bus routes, a train station and St Thomas high street are all within easy reach. There is no recorded flood risk and local crime rates are very low — practical positives for quieter, secure living. Overall, the bungalow suits buyers who value single-storey living, good parking and elevated views and who are prepared to invest in tasteful refurbishment or to add loft accommodation under existing planning consent.
