Description
St. Leonards Lodge is a highly individual and thoughtfully designed detached home, located in one of Exeter’s most desirable neighbourhoods. Tucked away on Jennifer Close, this modern property combines the elegance of 1930s architectural influences with a clean, contemporary interior finish, offering spacious, energy-efficient accommodation perfectly suited to modern living.
The exterior is fully rendered, with galvanised steel fittings and a natural Brazilian slate roof. Inside, the house is finished to an exceptional standard throughout, with solid oak-faced internal doors, granite worktops, high-quality sanitary ware, and a stylish kitchen designed by Sapphire Interiors.
The layout has been designed for both comfort and practicality, with generous living spaces, excellent storage, and high-spec features such as underfloor heating on the ground floor, LED lighting, and energy-saving systems including PIR sensors in selected areas.
The entrance porch opens into a welcoming reception hall with low-level plinth lighting and fitted storage, leading through to an impressive open-plan sitting and dining room. This space spans the full width of the property and features a remote-controlled contemporary fireplace and 4.2m-wide bi-fold doors that open onto the fabulous rear garden.
The kitchen/family room is fitted with a full range of integrated appliances and extensive storage, with a large picture window to the front. A separate utility room and cloakroom complete the ground floor.
Upstairs, the principle bedroom enjoys a light-filled dual aspect with distant views towards the Haldon Hills, and benefits from a well-appointed en-suite. Three further bedrooms—two double and one single—are served by a stylish family bathroom featuring a contemporary suite and Velux roof window.
The rear garden extends to over 100 feet, bordered by mature trees and well screened for privacy, featuring a large decked terrace adjacent to the house, ideal for outdoor dining and entertaining.
The front of the property offers block-paved off-road parking for approximately three cars and side access to the rear.
