Description
Welcome to Highfield House, a charming and characterful four-bedroom detached townhouse, set within the highly sought-after Taddyforde Estate in central Exeter. Believed to date back to the 1920s, this handsome period home offers a versatile layout across three levels, surrounded by mature gardens and approached through double wooden gates with a sweeping private driveway.
The Taddyforde Estate is one of Exeter's hidden gems - once part of the historic Taddyforde House, it is defined by stone walls, mature trees, and an impressive Heavitree stone archway at its entrance. The area feels wonderfully secluded, yet sits within walking distance of the university, city centre, and St David's station.
Inside, the property provides generous and flexible living space. A welcoming entrance porch opens into a spacious hallway with access to all principal rooms. The light-filled living room is an elegant L-shape, with an open fireplace and two Juliet balconies framing elevated views over the gardens. On the opposite side of the hallway, a stylish modern kitchen/breakfast room with integrated appliances leads through to a useful utility room, dining room, and a delightful sunroom. The sunroom, with its wonderful dual-aspect outlook, opens onto a south-facing terrace above the car port - the perfect spot to enjoy morning coffee or evening drinks.
The lower ground floor offers a versatile master bedroom with its own shower room and direct garden access - ideal for multigenerational living, independent space for a young adult, or even as an income stream given the property's proximity to the university.
Upstairs, there are two large double bedrooms (both with fitted wardrobes), a further single bedroom, and a family bathroom.
The property stands in a substantial plot with mature south-facing front gardens, a private rear patio and secluded lawned garden. Parking and storage are well catered for, with a car port and a double garage fitted with a new door.
