Prospect Park, Exeter

A stunning, well thought through Victorian Townhouse that has been lovingly modernised whilst retaining a number of period features. EPC: D

Situation - Prospect Park is a delightful tree-lined street of period properties located in the ever-popular residential area of St James. Within close proximity to Exeter city centre, the area offers excellent access to shops, schools, Exeter University, and a wide range of cultural, sporting, and leisure amenities. The city is well connected by two mainline railway stations, with services to London Paddington and Waterloo.

Description - This substantial mid-terrace Victorian townhouse has been extensively and sympathetically modernised by the current owners, combining elegant period features with a wide range of high-quality upgrades. The property provides over 2,300 sq ft of well-appointed and versatile accommodation arranged over three floors and benefits from granted planning permission for a single-storey rear extension (REF: 23/0429/FUL), with architect’s drawings available to illustrate the proposed design.
Since the vendor has owned the property, they have made many improvements such as restoring the front door with new fittings and a Yale lock, sanding period floorboards in the reception rooms and main bedrooms, and installing new radiators in the master and adjacent room. The first-floor bathroom has been fully upgraded, and the kitchen enhanced with a new utility room created. Externally, the front porch has been repaired, the front garden remodelled with a bin store and bike lock, and the rear garden landscaped to expand the seating area. The exterior has also been repainted, and old lead pipes have been replaced in coordination with South West Water.

Accommodation - Upon entering through the front porch, you are welcomed into a beautifully presented hallway. To the right lies an elegant sitting room, featuring a bay window and a recently installed gas fire, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. Adjacent is the formal dining room, complete with a gas fire, with double doors opening into a light-filled conservatory that provides seamless access to the rear garden.
A charming breakfast room with a sash window overlooking the conservatory connects through to the fully fitted modern kitchen. The kitchen includes a range of base and drawer units with worktops over, offering both style and practicality. Beyond the kitchen is a utility room and downstairs WC.
Stairs rise to the first floor, which accommodates three spacious double bedrooms and a well-appointed family shower room. The second floor comprises two additional double bedrooms, a modern shower room, and a fully fitted kitchen, offering excellent potential for use as a self-contained apartment. This upper level is ideally suited for multigenerational living, guest accommodation, or as an income-generating rental space.

Outside - To the front, a small enclosed garden with mature shrubs and a pedestrian path leads to the main entrance. The rear garden extends to approximately 120 feet and features a generous patio, lawn, well-established borders, fruit and vegetable plots, a timber shed, and a greenhouse. At the end of the garden, double timber gates open onto a rear lane, leading to a single garage and hard standing for additional parking.
