The Property

21 Summer Lane is a semi-detached house built in the 1930s. Bought from new by the late owner’s parent, this property has never been on the open market. The house is need of substantial renovation and modernisation and offers a blank canvas for someone to turn into a pleasant family home or as an investment. Very few inter-war properties remain which have not been altered or extended so this is a very rare opportunity. (Please note that it is unlikely that this property will be suitable for a conventional mortgage). The ground floor has 2 separate reception rooms , a small basic kitchen off which is a WC and there is a dilapidated conservatory. Leading from the first floor landing are 3 bedrooms and a bathroom with WC. Attached to the house is a modern, single garage. The gardens are much larger than those usually found in a property such as this. The house is set back from the road with 2 lawns bisected by a drive which leads to the garage. The back garden is very large, as are the gardens of most houses in the vicinity which gives an almost rural feel when outside. Partly overgrown at the moment, this garden is effectively divided into 3 and is approximately 150 feet long in total.

The Location

Whipton is a popular suburb of Exeter. It has a range of local shops and facilities and is on good bus routes. Polsloe Bridge railway station is about 5-8 minutes’ walk away and the centre of the city of Exeter with its excellent facilities is less than a mile.

SERVICES: All main services are available. Interested parties should contact the relevant public utility with regards to connection.

LOCAL AUTHORITY: Exeter City Council.

Agent Note: Viewers are respectfully asked to park on Summer Way opposite the house and not on Summer Lane.
