Belle Vue Road, Exeter Guide Price £299,000

2 bedroom detached bungalow in delightful setting on 0.42 acre site with fantastic scope for redevelopment subject to planning.

SITUATION & DESCRIPTION.

Taranaki is a detached bungalow, constructed between the wars and located in an outstanding location on the edge of the county town and cathedral city of Exeter overlooking the beautiful Duryard valley. Sitting in approximately 0.42 acre it is in a delightful setting. In need of renovation and improvement, this is an excellent opportunity for someone to either refurbish the existing dwelling or demolish it and replace it with a new property. Taranaki currently features an open-plan kitchen/living room with patio doors onto the lovely garden and fabulous view and there is also a utility room, 2 double bedrooms, bathroom and parking.

There was full planning permission (Ref: 20/0571/FUL) for demolition granted on 18.11.2020 for the construction of a substantial replacement dwelling on the site which lapsed on 18th November 2023, and previous planning permission was granted on 1.12.2016 (Ref: 16/1329/FUL) for a replacement dwelling. The more recent approved drawings show a contemporary, detached house extending to around 2,691 square feet (250 square metres) designed to take full advantage of the stunning views. They also provide for a detached garage and off-road parking. Enquiries with regard to renewal should be made direct to Exeter City Council planning department.

The centre of Exeter and the Russell Group University are approximately 10 minutes’ drive away and the beautiful River Exe is a mile or so distant. Exeter offers a host of business, cultural and leisure facilities. There is an excellent shopping centre, beautiful cathedral, attractive quayside and wonderful walking and cycling opportunities.. By-passed by the M.5 motorway, Exeter also has two main line rail routes, one to London Paddington and one to London Waterloo, as well as Wales and the North.
