This is a private
sale. Don't be put off by the
fact that no estate agencies are
involved. We sold our last house
privately and found the whole
process so much easier! We
used
www.houseweb.com then, and are
using it again - see our
house reference 131451. (See other
customer reviews at:
www.houseweb.co.uk/prop/sold.html)

We
were able to show prospective
purchasers around and, on selling
our house to the third couple who
viewed it, we were able to contact
each other directly to discuss any
issues. So please, don't
hesitate to get in touch directly.
**********
A spacious
detached five bedroom bungalow which

extended, set in a sunny plot
exceeding half an acre, in a very
quiet cul-de-sac. It is a 15 minute

West Hill Primary School and the
village grocery store. School buses

secondary schools –
King’s and
Colyton Grammar.
Private secondary schools in Exeter

St Margaret's Girls' School,
The Maynard School for Girls,
and Tiverton, a 20 minute drive
away, is home to

Sunday Times as the top performing
co-educational State Grammar School

Our
Property:
The property has PVC double glazing,
a good sized hall, light and airy
living room, dining room, office,
wonderful kitchen/breakfast room and
utility room. The new bedrooms both
have their own fully tiled shower
rooms. Gas central heating has been
installed.
The bungalow has been extended on
the eastern end, so that on entering
the bungalow the original 3 bedrooms
are to the right hand side of the
spacious entrance hall. Turn to the
left and you will enter the living
room, dining room, study and through
to the extremely large kitchen. From
the kitchen there is a short passage
which leads to the extended part of
the bungalow, which consists of two
bedrooms, two shower rooms and a
super sized garage which can hold 2
cars comfortably in addition to the
work benches which are a fixture.
Earning
Potential:
The layout means that when guests
stay there is a lot of privacy for
them, as they are in effect “next
door”. There is enough room to
provide accommodation for up to 4
teenage students from the Sidmouth
Language School - they are always
looking for host families in the
summer and currently pay good rates.
Equally it could be used to earn
income from Bed and Breakfast
guests, or would be ideal for those
who wish to look after elderly
relatives or are part of an extended
family. There is scope to
convert the garage to an extra
living room and/or kitchen and
plenty of space to build a free
standing garage. Equally,
there is plenty of room to extend
the bungalow even further.
There is ample space for parking on
the in and out drive. The gardens
stretch to the rear and west of the
property. In the rear garden there
is a shed and large greenhouse, and
the garden has been maintained by a
professional gardener over the last
8 years. There is a large patio area
providing plenty of space for table
and chairs.
