Full Description
Description:
This is a surprisingly spacious and well maintained detached bungalow which stands alone as an individual property fronting on to Sidmouth Road. Interestingly, this property is approached by vehicle from Purcell Close and stands in a generous sized plot privately tucked away in the far corner of the cul-de-sac. The front of the property faces Sidmouth Road and a pedestrian gate affords quick and easy pedestrian access to bus stops where you can board buses to and from Exeter and the surrounding district. This property will therefore appeal either as a retirement bungalow or as a family sized home with the potential, subject to obtaining planning permission, to create additional first floor accommodation.
Location:
Sidmouth Road is well situated on the city outskirts of Exeter within close proximity of the Devon and Cornwall Police Headquarters at Middlemoor, a Catholic Primary School, M5 motorway and A30, Exeter Business Park at Sowton, which hosts the new Met Office Headquarters, and an out of town Sainsbury’s super store on the way to Pinhoe. A large Tesco's out of town super store at Rydon Lane Retail Park, located off the inner by-pass, is also within close proximity. Furthermore a comprehensive range of retail and other local services are located in nearby Heavitree.
The property is conveniently situated within close proximity to Walter Daw Primary School and St Peters C of E language college/secondary school for children aged 11 – 16.
Should you happen to be reliant on good road connections, then the area of Broadfields benefits, in particular, from being within very quick access to the M5, which, together with the A30 and A38, provide excellent communication links to the east and north as well as Devon and the neighbouring counties of Cornwall, Somerset and Dorset.

Outside: The property is approached by vehicle from Purcell Close which will be found off Broadfield Road. As you reach the end of the cul-de-sac, the detached garage with the red door belongs to 'Hedge Rise'. A concrete driveway leads from the cul-de-sac to this detached garage and affords off road parking for two vehicles in front of the garage. A side gate gives access to the bungalow and gardens. The detached garage measures 16' 9" x 9' 6" (5.11m x 2.90m). The garage has recently been fitted with a newly installed Everest up and over garage door. The garage also has a power and light supply, a rear aspect window and a side entrance door.
This spacious bungalow stands in the centre of its generous sized plot with lawned gardens on three sides. Easy steps and crazy paved pathways give access to the front and rear entrance doors. A deep shrub bed (which requires some maintenence) affords potential for garden enthusiasts who could plant this area with a wide range of specimen young trees, shrubs and bushes interspersed with colourful flora. If you walk around to the front of the bungalow, a wrought iron gate positioned opposite the front entrance door gives way to Sidmouth Road down a few gentle steps. Continue walking around to the far side of the bungalow where the largest expanse of lawned garden will be found. This area is well enclosed with well trimed Conifer hedge and timber fencing. This garden faces west and therefore attracts sunshine from mid morning through to early evening. Here you will find a brick built barbeque and aluminium framed greenhouse. As you walk back around to the rear of the garden you will discover an enclosed crazy paved patio area lying alongside the conservatory which provides a lovely area to sit and relax which is both sheltered and sunny and gives you a pleasant outlook across the garden. An outside cold water tap is located alongside the rear entrance door. Interestingly, you will find a timber gate which affords pedestrian access to a long strip of lawned garden with mature hedge row running the full length of the far boundary. Furthermore, you will find a timber garden shed standing at the far end of this strip of garden. This strip of garden extends to approximately 150' in length and 20' wide.
