Set on one of St. Leonards’ most desirable streets, this substantial five-bedroom detached house offers generous, flexible living across approximately 2,145 sq ft — ideal for growing families or multi-generational households. Ground-floor reception rooms include bright sitting and dining rooms with large bay windows, a well-equipped kitchen, a breakfast room and a separate utility that leads to outbuildings and a covered courtyard. A timber outhouse currently used as an art studio could work well as a garden office or creative workspace.
Upstairs, five double bedrooms are arranged across two floors, including two en suites and a principal bedroom with far-reaching countryside views. There is significant scope to adapt the large eaves/storage area (subject to consents) for additional space. Outside, a sunny, secluded rear garden and block-paved driveway provide private outdoor living and parking for three cars, plus a single garage.
Location is a key asset: within walking distance of highly regarded local schools (including Exeter School and The Maynard), Magdalen Village shops and cafés, St Luke’s Campus and easy access to the city centre and hospitals. Transport links are strong by rail, bus and road, making commuting or city life straightforward.
Buyers should note this is an older home (constructed before 1900) and while many features are attractive, some period fabric may require ongoing maintenance; wall insulation is assumed absent and double glazing installation date is unknown. Council tax is described as quite expensive. The property is freehold and has no flood risk.
