Detached bungalow set in a generous private plot of 0.92 of an acre, accessed via a quiet lane. Previous consent for a four-bedroom replacement dwelling has lapsed, but policy support remains. An excellent opportunity to design and build a bespoke home in a desirable village location near Exeter (STPP)
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.
