7 Park Road is a well-maintained and spacious period property that combines original features with modern updates, in a desirable residential part of Exeter.

The panelled wooden front door opens into a smart entrance lobby with parquet wood-effect flooring and dado rails. A stained glass door leads into the reception hallway, where the wooden flooring continues. There’s a useful under-stairs cupboard, a radiator, and a decorative ceiling arch that adds character. Glazed oak doors open to the main living spaces.

At the front, the sitting room features a double-glazed bay window, a striking fireplace with tiled hearth and period surround, and original details including dado rails, coving, and picture rails. The dining room, with another double-glazed bay to the side, also retains these traditional features.

There’s a one-and-a-half bowl sink with mixer tap and drainer, integrated dishwasher, space for an electric range cooker, and a large double-width cupboard offering extensive storage. Picture rails, a vertical radiator, a double-glazed window, and a door to the garden complete the space.
