Description

A wonderful opportunity to purchase this unique, individually built detached bungalow constructed in the late 1950's, coming to the market for the first time. Journeys End enjoys a private location with delightful 0.68 acre gardens and outline planning permission for a separate detached dwelling with separate access.

A patterned glass double-glazed door opens into a spacious and welcoming entrance hallway, with access to loft storage and a meter cupboard. Radiator and doors lead to the principal rooms of the home.

The sitting room is bright and generously proportioned, featuring dual aspect double-glazed windows and two radiators. An electric fire sits on a marble hearth with a decorative wood surround.

The kitchen and dining room offer a well-planned space for everyday living. A stainless steel sink with drainer and mixer tap is set into work surfaces with cupboards and deep drawers beneath. Additional worktops provide further storage, and a large pantry cupboard houses the gas boiler. Integrated appliances include a fridge freezer and double oven, a dishwasher, while the electric hob is set beneath an extractor canopy with a tiled surround. Two windows and a double-glazed door provide views and access to the garden. A connecting door leads to the hallway, while a glass door opens into the conservatory.

The conservatory is a generous, light-filled space overlooking the gardens. It has tiled flooring, a handy cupboard, and two double-glazed doors giving direct access to the garden.

There are three well-proportioned bedrooms. The principal bedroom is a large double with a front-facing window, radiator, and built-in double wardrobe. The second bedroom is also a double, with a side-facing window, radiator, and fitted wardrobe. The third bedroom is a large single with a rear-facing window overlooking the garden and a radiator.

The shower room comprises a pedestal wash hand basin, low-level WC, and a shower enclosure with electric shower, glazed screens, and tiled surround. An obscure double-glazed window and radiator complete the room.

Externally, the property is approached via a driveway providing parking for multiple vehicles. A garage/workshop with timber doors, side access, power, and lighting offers additional utility. The gardens extend to approximately 0.68 of an acre, including an area with separate access and outline planning permission for a detached dwelling (14/0361/RES).

The grounds are beautifully private, with a large lawn wrapping around the bungalow, mature planted borders, a variety of shrubs and fruit trees, and a dedicated area for fruit and vegetable growing. A greenhouse, pergola, and pathways enhance the outdoor space, creating a peaceful and versatile garden environment.

Situation

Journeys End enjoys a peaceful position within Aspen Close, a desirable residential area on the eastern side of Exeter.
