Summary - NORTH LODGE EXMINSTER EXETER EX6 8AT
3 bed 2 bath Detached
Unique family home with large gardens and convenient village access.
Grade II listed Victorian gatehouse with original period features
This handsome Grade II listed gatehouse sits at the lower entrance to Devington Avenue, offering a rare blend of Victorian character and practical family living. Extended to provide light-filled, double-aspect living and dining rooms, the house also includes a modern fitted kitchen, two bathrooms and three double bedrooms — a layout that suits everyday family life and entertaining.
Outside is an obvious strength: a large paved courtyard with summer house and an unusual cave room carved into the bank, plus mature terraced gardens wrapping around the property. A sizeable front driveway provides off-street parking for several vehicles, and the village location places riverside walks, shops and good local schools within easy reach.
Buyers should be aware this is a listed building and will carry constraints: any alterations will need listed-building consent and may complicate refurbishment. The original sandstone walls are assumed to be uninsulated, and the property has secondary glazing only — further insulation and energy improvements may be needed. The gardens are mature and attractive but parts will require landscaping and ongoing maintenance.
Overall this is a distinctive family home with strong period character, generous outside space and excellent village accessibility. It will suit buyers who value heritage and are comfortable managing listed-building requirements and sensitive upgrading rather than those seeking a fully modern, low-maintenance new build.
