St Davids, Exeter

Description

An attractive Grade II Listed detached period property, located in Exeter’s highly regarded St David’s Quarter, approximately half a mile from the city centre and within easy walking distance of Exeter College, the University campus, and both St Davids and Central stations.
The building is currently arranged as offices and offers excellent potential to be reinstated as an impressive family home or adapted to provide a combined home and business premises, subject to the necessary consents. The ground floor benefits from a substantial single storey section with its own separate entrance, lending itself well to use as a practice space or for a home run business.
To the front of the property is a generous parking area with space for six to eight vehicles. Under the current planning consent, part of this area is allocated for secure cycle and bin storage. To the rear, the property enjoys a unique enclosed garden, bordered by tall brick walls, creating a private and sheltered outdoor space rarely found so close to the heart of the city.
