This well-proportioned ground-floor apartment sits a short walk from Exeter city centre, offering convenient access to shops, cafes and transport links. The layout includes a large kitchen/breakfast room, separate dining room and a bay-front living room that fills the space with light. The generous double bedroom opens onto a side paved area, and a private front garden and off-street parking add rare practical benefits for a city property.
The tenure is Share of Freehold with 159 years remaining, no ground rent and no service charge, and the sale is offered chain free — attractive features for a first-time buyer seeking a straightforward purchase. Heating is by mains-gas boiler and radiators; council tax sits in a low band, helping running costs.
The building is Victorian in origin and has pleasing period character, but that age brings trade-offs: walls are solid brick and likely lack modern cavity insulation, and the property’s basic energy efficiency may benefit from upgrading. The local area is classified as a student and professional neighbourhood, so there is potential for rental demand but also the chance of occasional noise and higher footfall nearby.
Overall this apartment suits a first-time buyer or couple wanting a spacious, characterful city home with outdoor space and parking. It also presents scope to add value through targeted cosmetic and energy-efficiency improvements.
