Large newly renovated two-bedroom with private patio and exceptional storage.
Grade II listed Regency terrace — restrictions on alterations
A spacious, newly renovated two-bedroom lower-ground flat set in a Grade II Regency terrace on leafy Pennsylvania Park. At about 1,298 sq ft this apartment feels unusually generous for its type, with high ceilings, large sash windows and period proportions that give rooms a bright, airy quality.
Practical day-to-day living is well catered for: a modern fitted kitchen, a contemporary bathroom, a useful utility room and two large external store rooms provide exceptional storage. The flat also benefits from a private patio and shared communal gardens overlooking nearly two acres of parkland — a rare outdoor asset so close to the city centre and the University of Exeter.
Important practical points: the building is Grade II listed, which can restrict changes and may complicate refurbishment consent. The property is leasehold (long lease of 1,978 years shown), with an average service charge of £1,200 and a nominal ground rent of £1. The building’s solid sandstone walls are assumed to lack insulation, which could affect heating costs despite the mains gas boiler and radiators.
This home will suit a first-time buyer or professional who values period character, generous internal space and excellent storage, while accepting the limitations that come with listed status and communal ownership. Very low local crime, excellent mobile signal and a very affluent neighbourhood add to its long-term appeal.
