Summary - South Wing, The Hermitage, 20 Exwick Hill EX4 2AQ
3 bed 1 bath Semi-Detached
Large period rooms and modern kitchen, walking distance to Exeter city centre and university.
Grade II listed thatched cottage with strong historic character
Set within Exwick and a short walk from Exeter city centre and the university, this three-bedroom Grade II listed thatched cottage combines generous period rooms with modern conveniences. High ceilings, gothic-style and stained-glass windows and original cob walls deliver strong character throughout, while an impressive open-plan kitchen/dining room and a Howdens fitted kitchen provide day-to-day practicality for family living or professional sharers.
The house offers over 1,500 sq ft of accommodation across multiple levels, including two large double bedrooms and a ground-floor third bedroom or study, plus utility and cloakroom spaces. A quartz-topped kitchen, integrated appliances and a combi boiler mean the home is largely move-in ready, with large windows bringing good natural light and pleasant garden views.
Practical considerations are clear and important for buyers: the property is Grade II listed, which will limit alterations and can complicate works and maintenance. The thatched roof and traditional cob construction require specialist upkeep and associated costs. The garden and plot are modest, and there is a single bathroom serving three bedrooms.
For buyers seeking a distinctive, characterful home within easy reach of schools, riverside walks and transport links, this property offers rare style and scale. It will particularly suit someone who values historic features and is comfortable managing listed-building responsibilities and the ongoing maintenance that thatch and period fabric demand.
