This substantial detached property on Redhills offers generous, characterful family accommodation across three floors and sits on a large elevated plot with far-reaching city views. The house combines traditional features — high ceilings, bay windows, cast-iron fireplaces — with flexible living including a self-contained one-bedroom apartment that could be retained for guests, rental income, or re‑integrated into the main house.
Ground-floor reception rooms are large and light, with a sizeable kitchen/breakfast room, orangery/sun room and a guest bedroom with en suite. Outside there is a broad driveway, a double garage with stores, and lawned terraces stepping up the sloped garden — good outdoor space for children and entertaining. The location is practical for family life, with local schools, GP services, shops on Cowick Street and St Thomas train station about 0.8 miles away.
Buyers should note a few material points: the build-era data indicates 1967–1975 despite the property’s period styling, double glazing install date is unknown, and external cavity walls are assumed uninsulated — so updating thermal performance may be required. Council tax is band F (expensive). The property is being sold with obvious renovation potential rather than turnkey modern systems.
Overall this is a rare, roomy family home with versatile accommodation and strong future potential for improvement. It will suit purchasers seeking space, character and scope to modernise, or investors wanting a rental annex and sizable plot in a convenient Exeter location.
