Your future begins at Discovery Quarter......

There’s a wide variety of homes on this stunning development,

It’s hard to imagine a more delightful place to live, or a finer collection of homes from which to choose. The best of everything, in true Midas Homes tradition.

Discovery Quarter occupies land with a fascinating history and there are wonderful far reaching views from the first floor of the Episcopal Building. The original buildings date from 1860 and include cottages for tradespeople fallen on hard times and schoolrooms for the education of poor children. This was a benevolent scheme undertaken by John Dinham, local philanthropist and trustee of the Exeter Episcopal Charity Schools.

The magnificent church of St. Michael and All Angels was built on adjacent land also donated by John Dinham, and soon became a landmark for the whole of Exeter in the area now known as Mount Dinham. Interestingly, 9th generation Peregrine Falcons can even be seen nesting in the church steeple.
