Description
The site currently comprises a detached bungalow set within a substantial garden plot of 0.92 of an acre, accessed from a quiet private lane and enjoying a spacious setting with good separation from neighbouring properties.
A previous planning application was submitted for the replacement of the existing dwelling with a new four-bedroom house, occupying only a small proportion of the overall plot, thereby retaining the majority of the established garden.
Although the previous consent has now lapsed, the principle of a replacement dwelling remains supported under Policy H6 of the East Devon Local Plan, which allows for replacement homes in the countryside subject to design and planning considerations.
We recommend that any prospective purchaser consults with an architect or planning consultant before making a formal offer.
The site therefore offers an excellent opportunity for purchasers to submit a fresh planning application for a replacement dwelling, creating a bespoke home within an attractive village setting with convenient access to Exeter and its range of amenities and transport links.
Situation
Situated in the sought-after Exe Valley, the property enjoys a peaceful rural setting on the edge of Upton Pyne, a charming village just a few miles north of Exeter. The village itself offers a strong sense of community, with a historic church, village hall and local social club, while the surrounding countryside provides an abundance of walking and riding opportunities.
Nearby Brampford Speke is a particularly popular village, offering a well-regarded primary school, a village shop/tea room and a traditional pub, The Agricultural Inn, known locally for its food and welcoming atmosphere. The surrounding villages, including Newton St Cyres, further enhance the area with additional pubs, eateries and everyday amenities.
The location is ideally positioned between the cathedral city of Exeter and the market town of Crediton, both offering a comprehensive range of shopping, dining and schooling options, including well-regarded state and independent schools.
For commuters, the property is within easy reach of Exeter St Davids railway station, providing regular mainline services to London Paddington in approximately two hours, alongside convenient road links to the A377, M5 and wider regional network.
Directions
From Exeter, proceed north on the A377 towards Crediton. After approximately 2 miles, turn right signposted to Upton Pyne. Continue into the village, passing the church, then take the next right into a private lane where The Bungalow will be found.
