Worth viewing because
This attractive detached house has been in the same family ownership over three generations since it was built in 1929 and this is the first time it has come to the market. The property requires modernisation and offers much potential for extending and creating off street parking subject to any necessary planning permission. To the rear of the house is a large private rear garden. 

In more detail
The property offers a traditional layout with an enclosed entrance porch providing access to a light and airy reception hall with a staircase rising to the first floor. Doors then lead to a sitting room with a front aspect bay window and separate dining room. Both these reception rooms have open fireplaces and from the dining room a sliding door leads to the kitchen which has a walk-in pantry. On the first floor there are three well proportioned bedrooms and a bathroom/w.c. Other features include Economy 7 electric night storage heating and part UPVC double glazing. Externally there are established level gardens to both the front and rear. The rear garden is a generous size and incorporates lawn, shrubs, soft fruit trees and a vegetable area. There is also a useful timber garden workshop/shed. Immediately adjoining the rear of the property is a conservatory and outside w.c. 

The coastal town of Exmouth
The property is situated approximately a mile and a half from the town centre and seafront . For keen walkers there is access to many miles of coastal path starting at 'The Needle' at Orcombe Point, which denotes the start of the World Heritage coastline. The Exe Estuary has been designated an 'Area Of Outstanding Natural Beauty' and offers further exceptional walks and a cycle path leading to Lympstone and continues beyond through to Exeter. The opportunities to enjoy a variety of water sports in addition to equestrian and golfing pursuits in the area are also plentiful. Exmouth train station provides access to the nearby Cathedral city of Exeter and beyond. Exmouth, being a highly commutable coastal town and also within 20 minutes of the M5 motorway junction, offers an ideal base for those seeking an enhanced coastal lifestyle and enjoyment of all the area has to offer...

Bear in mind
Recent work to the house includes the repointing of the outside brickwork and the roof has been replaced in recent years. This is an ideal opportunity for anyone wanting to modernise and possibly extend an older detached house with a large garden in a great location convenient for local schools, bus routes and the Co-operative Food convenience store along Exeter Road. An ideal family home.
