Set on an elevated plot with panoramic views across the River Exe to Haldon Belvedere, this Grade II listed semi-detached house offers unusually generous family accommodation. The property extends to around 3,000 sq ft across multiple floors and combines many original period features with a bespoke German kitchen and a superb 35 ft principal bedroom suite.
Living spaces are versatile for family life: a large kitchen/breakfast room with island and pantry, separate family and sitting rooms (one reached through a secret bookcase door), and a detached games room for hobbies or overflow entertaining. Outside there’s a 50 ft level rear garden, balcony, double garage and additional parking — rare for a riverside location so close to Exeter.
Buyers should note material constraints associated with the house: it is Grade II listed (which will restrict alterations), constructed with solid brick without modern insulation, and heated by electric storage heaters. The property sits in a high flood-risk zone — this is a significant consideration for insurance and repairs and affects suitability for some buyers.
This house will suit families who want space, character and views and who accept the responsibilities of owning an older listed building. With scope to improve heating, insulation and flood resilience, there is clear potential to enhance comfort and running costs while retaining the home’s historic charm.
