This substantial four-bedroom detached house offers 2,693 sq ft of flexible living space across traditional layouts and generous reception rooms. Two open fireplaces and high elevation views give a strong sense of character and provenance, while the open-plan kitchen/breakfast room and separate study/snug suit modern family life or home-working days.
Outside, a beautifully landscaped tiered garden and versatile summerhouse (with electricity and lighting) extend the living space and provide privacy and quiet elevated outlooks. There is practical parking for multiple cars with two driveways plus a garage — rare in this area.
Buyers should note the property’s age and traditional construction: built before 1900 with sandstone/limestone walls assumed to lack cavity insulation, and double glazing that predates 2002. These factors present both charm and maintenance considerations, and upgrading thermal performance could be required.
Positioned within a cosmopolitan, student-oriented neighbourhood of central Exeter, the house sits close to a wide range of shops, amenities and several well-regarded schools. The location suits families wanting space near the city, or investors seeking a character property with strong rental demand potential, but purchasers should consider the local area’s high student presence and pockets of deprivation when assessing use and future value.
