Upton Pyne, Exeter, EX5

Located on a quiet country lane, just outside of the pretty Mid Devon village of Upton Pyne, this is semi-rural living with plenty of scope. Being only 10 minutes from Exeter, it’s the perfect balance of a rural retreat without being isolated. There are other properties dotted around, and the local equestrian centre offers livery for those keen to have horses nearby. The views are really special and with a 0.3 acre plot, there’s lots of room to enjoy an outdoor focused home life. Although a little dated in places and with a few jobs to sort, the bungalow occupies an enviable position and would be worth the investment in improving/enlarging to make the most of it.

The bungalow is a standard brick build, believed to date back to the 1950’s and is cavity wall construction under a tiled roof. Much of the infrastructure is as original and will require some updating (ask agents for more details) but it’s likely that a new owner will want to alter and improve so these jobs will fall into the scope of planned works. However, it does already offer a surprisingly spacious floorplan with 2 double bedrooms (one with en-suite), a large living room, dining room, kitchen, utility and family bathroom, plus a separate WC facility. There’s a garage too with a workshop to the rear. It has been well looked after but it’s ready for the next chapter.

Outside, the plot extends to 0.3 acres and with two driveways in, it offers a great deal of flexibility. The main drive gives access to gated off-road parking and leads to the garage, whilst the second drive gives additional parking for a motorhome or caravan should it be required. The gardens are well established with colour and cover during the spring and summer. There’s room to grow too with raised beds at the rear providing vegetable beds. The lawns and paving areas have the countryside views too. To the bottom of the garden, former stables (now workshop and stores) give additional hobby or storage space and although these will need some attention, the fundamentals (and footprints) are there.

This is a wonderful home, one that offers room to expand and in a glorious location and definitely deserves a closer look.
