Description

A charming and well-presented period home set in the desirable Little Silver area, offering characterful accommodation arranged over three floors with attractive period features throughout.

The property is entered through a panelled wood door with fanlight, opening into a welcoming lobby with part-panelled walls. A glazed door leads into the entrance hall, with stairs rising to the first floor and useful understairs storage.

The open-plan sitting and dining rooms provide generous reception space, enjoying natural light from both the front and rear aspects. The sitting area features a gas living flame fire with decorative surround and mantelpiece, flanked by recessed shelving and cupboards with arched detailing. The dining area comfortably accommodates a table and chairs, with further fitted storage in alcoves and an additional understairs cupboard.

The kitchen/breakfast room is a bright and versatile space with a window overlooking the garden and bi-fold doors opening to the rear courtyard. Fitted with solid wood worktops, an enamel sink with mixer tap, and a range of storage units including a bank of full-height cupboards, the kitchen also includes integrated Smeg appliances: electric oven, four-ring hob, and dishwasher. There is space for further appliances and room for a breakfast table. Tiled flooring, skylight windows, and another understairs cupboard complete the room.

An attractive turning staircase with exposed balustrade leads to the first floor. The half-landing provides access to a modern shower room with pedestal wash basin, WC, large glazed shower enclosure, heated towel rail, and rear window.

The main landing gives access to two first floor bedrooms. The principal bedroom is a spacious double, featuring two tall sash windows to the front, a decorative period fireplace with surround and mantelpiece, and fitted storage to the alcoves. The second bedroom is a comfortable double overlooking the rear, with laminate flooring and fitted cupboards, one housing the boiler.

The staircase continues to the second floor, where a further double bedroom enjoys dual-aspect windows, an extensive range of fitted cupboards, and an open-plan en suite bathroom with period-style roll-top bath on claw feet, pedestal wash basin, WC, and heated towel rail.

Outside, the property is approached via a paved path through a front garden with mature planting, set beside the attractive communal green. To the rear, a private and enclosed courtyard garden provides a sheltered retreat, paved with established borders of shrubs and plants.

Situation

Little Silver is a highly sought-after residential area, tucked away in a quiet and secluded position while remaining moments from the heart of Exeter. Number 6 enjoys an enviable outlook across an attractive communal green, creating a peaceful setting with a real sense of privacy. Despite its tranquillity, the property is exceptionally well placed: Exeter city centre is only a short walk away, offering excellent shopping, dining, and cultural amenities, while the University of Exeter’s Streatham Campus is also nearby.

For those needing to travel further afield, transport links are excellent. Exeter St Davids railway station is within easy reach, providing regular direct services to London Paddington, the South West and beyond. The M5 motorway and A30 dual carriageway are also close by, ensuring swift access across the region. This combination of seclusion, convenience and connectivity makes Little Silver one of the city centre's most desirable addresses.

Directions

From Exeter city centre, proceed out along New North Road to the clock tower. Go straight across and turn left by Exeter college into Hele Road and left onto Queens Terrace. Turn right onto Richmond Road and Silver Terrace is on the right, leading to Little Silver.
