4 bed detached house for sale

Off Chapel Hill, Exeter EX3

A rare opportunity to create a wonderful family home, this four-bedroom detached house sits within approximately 0.22 acres in the sought-after Clyst area, close to Exeter. Offering huge scope for improvement and extension, with planning permission in place until April 2027, the property provides the perfect canvas for those looking to create a bespoke home in a highly desirable location.

The house currently offers a series of well-proportioned rooms with neutral décor, good ceiling heights and plenty of natural light from large windows. Several rooms enjoy views across the surrounding countryside, with far-reaching rural outlooks adding to the sense of space and tranquillity. A wood-burning stove has been recommended for the main reception room, one fireplace has already been reconfigured and the remaining fireplaces have been capped. The property is very much a home ready for transformation, with the roof already repaired and the generous plot providing excellent potential for landscaping or further enhancement, subject to the necessary consents.

Outside, the land extends to approximately 2.2 acres, incorporating a generous garden area and adjoining field, with potential for direct roadside access. Mature trees, expansive lawns and open views create a private and attractive setting, while the property remains conveniently placed for everyday amenities. There is a shared septic tank at the end of the property with a gate leading to the nearby road.

Clyst St George is a particularly popular area, valued for its countryside setting, excellent connectivity and easy access to some of Devon’s finest beaches. Located off Chapel Hill, the property is well positioned for the cafés, Darts Farm and riverside walks of Topsham, as well as highly regarded local schools. Exeter city centre, with its extensive shopping, leisure and university facilities, is also within easy reach.

Transport connections are excellent, with nearby Topsham and Exeter St David’s stations providing regular services to Exeter Central, London Paddington, Bristol and Plymouth. Exeter Central can be reached in approximately 5–10 minutes, while London is around 2 hours by rail. The M5 and A30 are also readily accessible.
