This 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom property in Longdown, Exeter, offers a blend of rural charm and convenient access to the city. Located in the Kenn Valley, it benefits from a tranquil setting, yet remains within a reasonable driving distance of Exeter’s amenities, such as Exeter St David’s railway station (approximately 7.43km away). The presence of nearby primary schools (Doddiscombsleigh Primary School being the closest at approximately 4.79km) adds to its family-friendly appeal. The property is presented unfurnished, allowing potential buyers to personalize the space. The photos reveal a decent-sized garden, complete with established plants and a greenhouse, offering significant outdoor space. The property shows a mix of features, some that are more dated. The kitchen and bathrooms, while functional, could benefit from modernization. The overall condition appears reasonably good, but a complete inspection would be necessary to confirm this. The asking price of £385,000 needs further comparative analysis to determine precise value for money due to limited comparable data. However, given the location, the land and the property’s characteristics, the price does not appear to be unreasonable. Overall, the property presents a viable option for those seeking a balance of country living with access to a city’s amenities, but potential buyers should thoroughly examine the condition and local market prices.
Therefore, we give this property 7 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
