This detached Victorian three-bedroom home sits in a central, walkable location just off St David’s Hill — a short stroll to St David’s train station, Exeter University and local amenities. The house keeps strong period character: high ceilings, sash windows, original wood flooring and a wood burner in a bright living/dining room that opens to a private rear garden. A bespoke oak kitchen, Belfast sink and Rangemaster-style cooker give the ground floor a quality, lived-in feel. The property is offered chain free, which supports a quick move.
Accommodation is arranged over three levels with a generous principal bedroom and a family bathroom on the first floor, plus two double bedrooms on the top floor. Practical ground-floor features include a separate utility/WC and direct garden access. A nearby garage in an adjoining block is included — a notable benefit in this central location. Council Tax Band C is shown as affordable for the area.
Buyers should be aware of several material points: the building is solid-brick Victorian and appears to lack cavity insulation in the walls, meaning energy upgrades may be needed. There is one bathroom for three bedrooms, and the garage is in a nearby block rather than attached. The neighbourhood is a cosmopolitan student area with high local crime statistics and higher-than-average deprivation indicators; this influences both day-to-day ambience and long-term considerations. Overall, the house will suit first-time buyers or professionals seeking a characterful, well-located home with scope for energy improvements and cosmetic updating.
