Tenure: Freehold
Located in the popular St Leonards area, this period family home is offered to the market for the first time in over 30 years. St Leonards is a short distance from both local artisan shops in Magdalen Road and Exeter city centre. It is home to excellent schools (including two outstanding independent schools). It is also close to the Crown Court, RD&E hospital, university teaching college, medical school, Exeter Quay and the River Exe.
The property:
Spacious accommodation is spread over four floors, and offers the benefit of a self-contained annex. This is ideal for letting or for converting back into the main house. On the ground floor is a charming sitting room, with a bay window, and potential for inserting an open fire or wood-burner. High ceilings and big windows are a feature throughout. The dining room is large with French doors leading to a small sunroom. The kitchen is a good size, with several integral appliances, and has plenty of room for a breakfast table. There is a utility area and also a door leading to the sunroom, from where steps lead down to the rear garden. The annex is accessed from the garden. It offers a living room with a bedroom area, shower room, cloakroom, kitchen and storage.
On the first floor of the main house are three lovely double bedrooms and a family bathroom. The staircase is charming and has original joinery. Plenty of light floods in from top window. On the top floor are two double bedrooms and a second family bathroom. The bigger of the bedrooms can easily be connected to the bathroom to form a master en-suite. There are lovely views from the rear of the property over nearby Bull Meadow Park, and extensive views from the top floor looking out over the city and also towards Dartmoor. Access to a huge loft is accessible via a pull-down ladder and there is more extensive under-eve storage, and many built-in cupboards.
Some of the property will require updating but the house is in excellent decorative order and offers a characterful and spacious family home in a fantastic location.
Outside:
At the front is a small apron garden filled with shrubs and plants and two productive fruit trees (apple and pear). It is enclosed by a small brick wall and wrought iron railings and an original Victorian tiled path leading to the front door. The rear garden is charming and very private, laid to lawn with well established shrubs and plants. Both gardens are ablaze with blossom and flowering bulbs from Spring to early Autumn. It is accessed via a locked rear gate, giving private access to the annex.
