Description

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.

Situation

The Cathedral City of Exeter is one of the most desirable and vibrant cities in the South West of England. With a growing population of around 130,000, it serves as the cultural, administrative and commercial heart of Devon, set on the scenic River Exe and within easy reach of both the Dartmoor National Park and the stunning Devon and Cornwall coastline.

Home to a top-tier Russell Group university and excellent further education provision, Exeter attracts students, professionals and families alike, with strong links to industry and employment including the Met Office, University of Exeter, Devon County Council and major healthcare and professional services sectors.

The city is rich in history and character, dominated by its iconic medieval Cathedral and ancient city walls, with a thriving cultural scene encompassing museums, theatres, galleries and festivals, alongside an excellent range of independent shops, cafés, restaurants and leisure facilities. Exeter’s vibrant Quayside and green open spaces provide scenic walks, waterside activity and community events, making the city an attractive place to live, work and study.
