Description

Chain-Free Detached Bungalow - A Rare Find in Freelands Close

Situated in one of Exmouth’s most sought-after residential areas, this detached two-bedroom bungalow on Freelands Close offers an exciting opportunity for those seeking a peaceful retirement home or a potential development project. Set on a generous plot with excellent curb appeal, this property combines spacious living, ample parking, and scope for modernisation or extension (subject to planning).

A welcoming gated entrance opens onto a private driveway with parking for multiple vehicles and access to a single garage. The front garden is beautifully presented, setting the tone for this well-located home.

Upon entering, you are greeted by a light and airy hallway leading to two double bedrooms at the front of the property, both featuring fitted wardrobes and large windows that flood the rooms with natural light. The modern family bathroom includes a walk-in shower and contemporary fittings.

To the rear, the property enjoys a spacious living room with a charming bay window and French doors opening onto the garden — perfect for entertaining or relaxing. The kitchen is fitted with a range of wall and base units, providing generous worktop space and storage.

The garage has been partially converted to include a utility area and a conservatory, both offering additional access to the rear garden. Upstairs, there is a useful attic room, which could (subject to necessary permissions) be transformed into a further bedroom, home office, or hobby space.

Outside, the large rear garden provides excellent potential for landscaping or future development, with plenty of space to extend the home if desired.

Location

Freelands Close is a quiet and highly desirable cul-de-sac within easy reach of Exmouth town centre, beautiful sandy beaches, and picturesque coastal walks along the Jurassic Coast. The area is well-served by local shops, cafés, and restaurants, as well as excellent transport links including Exmouth railway station with direct trains to Exeter and beyond. Nearby leisure facilities include Exmouth Marina, Phear Park, and a range of sports clubs and golf courses.

This property truly combines location, potential, and lifestyle — making it an ideal choice for downsizers, retirees, or developers alike.

  • Rent ratio — Monthly rent ÷ purchase price (1% rule). 1%+ = strong, 0.8–1% = okay, <0.8% = weak for cashflow.
  • Max investor price — Rent ÷ 0.8%; the price at which rent would be 0.8% of price (Stoke-style target).
  • Target investor price — Rent ÷ 1%; the price at which rent would be 1% of price (strong cashflow band).
  • Gross yield — Annual rent as % of purchase price (no costs).
