DESCRIPTION Situated on one of Exeter's most desirable central addresses, this impressive and beautifully proportioned five-bedroom period townhouse offers exceptional space, character and versatility arranged across four floors. Rich in original architectural features and now thoughtfully updated to a high standard, the property combines elegant period charm with modern living in a highly convenient city-centre location.
Behind its attractive façade, the home opens into a welcoming reception hall which immediately reflects the scale and character found throughout the property. High ceilings, original detailing and generous proportions create a wonderful sense of space and light.
The principal reception room to the front of the house is particularly striking, featuring a beautiful bay window with original shutters, decorative fireplace with wood burner and original detailing which together create a refined yet comfortable living space. A further reception room provides an elegant setting for formal dining, enjoying views across the rear garden and retaining charming original cabinetry. To the rear, a modern kitchen offers an ideal environment for family living and entertaining, with direct access out to the immediate terrace with access up to the lawn garden.
Across the upper floors, the accommodation continues to impress, offering five well-proportioned bedrooms, many of which retain attractive period fireplaces, original mouldings, and large windows that fill the rooms with natural light. The principal bedroom, situated on the first floor and currently used as a sitting room, spans the full width of the property to the front. It features a stunning marble fireplace alongside original plasterwork and panelled detailing, creating a space of real character and presence.
A further double bedroom is also located on the first floor along with a family bathroom, with two additional bedrooms on the second floor again with access to a second family bathroom, and a further two on the top floor. The uppermost level offers excellent potential to create a wonderful principal suite, subject to the necessary planning consents. Altogether, the property provides highly flexible accommodation, ideal for family living, guest rooms, or dedicated home working and study spaces.
Externally, the property benefits from a delightful enclosed rear garden providing a surprising degree of privacy for such a central location. Immediately outside the house is a paved courtyard area ideal for outdoor dining, leading to a larger lawned garden with mature planting, flower borders and a charming summerhouse. A rear access leads to the property's highly sought-after off-road parking space and garage.
To the front, an attractive enclosed garden with lawn and planted borders provides a welcoming approach to the home.
