Bright, well-proportioned and ready to move into, this two-bedroom apartment offers generous living space in a contemporary block close to central Exeter. The open-plan kitchen/living area opens onto a balcony, creating a light-filled social hub for everyday life and entertaining. Both double bedrooms have en‑suites and built-in wardrobes, giving comfortable private space for two occupants or a home office and guest room. Practical extras include a separate utility room, useful storage cupboards and a private garage with an allocated parking space.
Ownership is straightforward: share of freehold with a very long lease (981 years). The development was built in the early 2000s and benefits from modern double glazing, mains gas boiler and radiator heating. The property suits buyers looking for a low‑maintenance, roomy apartment with secure gated access and easy access to the city centre, hospital, university and local shops on Magdalen Road.
Buyers should note important local and technical limitations. The immediate neighbourhood is classified as a cosmopolitan student area with very high recorded crime and a high level of local deprivation, which may affect resale prospects and day-to-day tranquillity. Broadband speeds are reported as slow in this location. There is no flood risk, but prospective purchasers should satisfy themselves about communal maintenance responsibilities and any service charges.
Overall this apartment presents strong practical advantages—size, layout, garage and long lease—balanced by local area factors that will particularly matter to families or those seeking a quiet, high‑value neighbourhood. For buyers prioritising space and convenient city living, it’s a compelling option; for those needing fast broadband or a very low-crime setting, the location could be a compromise.
