The home, in the agent’s words

Read the full agent description

Hidden at the end of a private driveway, The property is a stunning example of Georgian architecture, surrounded by over half an acre of beautifully established gardens and boasting ample private parking, just a short distance from Magdalen shops and Exeter City Centre. The symmetrical façade of this grand residence creates a striking first impression, while the interior's elegant proportions and layout transport you back to a bygone era.

Upon entering the welcoming entrance hall, you'll find yourself surrounded by opulent features such as high ceilings, sash windows, and ornate cornicing. The country-style bespoke kitchen, complete with AGA and central island, forms the heart of the home, perfect for hosting dinner parties or everyday meals. Two spacious reception rooms, both with French doors leading to the covered veranda, offer breath taking views of the extensive lawn and gardens beyond.

The first-floor landing leads to four beautifully appointed bedrooms, each with its own unique character. A second staircase takes you to the top floor, where you'll find two additional bedrooms and a bathroom.

The pièce de résistance is the sprawling garden, a true gem in the heart of the city. Spanning around 0.64 of an acre, the grounds feature large lawns, established borders, high hedges, and mature trees. A hidden garden with seating areas and a pond awaits discovery beyond the main lawn. Ample off-road parking is available, with potential for garage space (subject to planning permission).
