A beautifully proportioned and characterful three-bedroom period townhouse situated in one of Exeter's most sought-after central residential locations, just moments from the City Centre, the Royal Devon & Exeter Hospital, and the University of Exeter's St Luke's Campus.

Arranged over three spacious floors, this attractive terraced home offers versatile and well-balanced accommodation ideally suited to families, professional couples, healthcare professionals, academics, investors, and those seeking a vibrant city lifestyle within walking distance of Exeter's outstanding amenities.

The ground floor comprises an inviting entrance hallway leading to a generous living room, a separate dining room perfect for entertaining, and an extended kitchen positioned to the rear of the property, creating an excellent social and family space with direct access to the garden.

The approved plans allow for a two-metre single-storey extension to the rear, creating additional ground-floor space, together with the extension of the existing first-floor WC to form a full-sized bathroom, with provision for an additional room to the rear. This offers considerable scope for future buyers to increase the property's living accommodation and functionality, subject to the relevant planning permissions and conditions.

Outside, the property enjoys an enclosed rear garden, providing a private outdoor space for relaxing, entertaining and family enjoyment. Residents' permit parking is available on-street to the front of the property.

Please Note: By law, we are required to conduct anti-money laundering checks on all potential buyers and we take this responsibility very seriously. If your offer to purchase a property is accepted (subject to contract), you will need to satisfy the requirements set out in the Money Laundering, Terrorist Financing and Transfer of Funds (Information on the Payer) Regulations 2017. To comply with these obligations, we work with an independent third-party provider, Coadjute, to complete ID verification, AML checks, and source of funds checks. A non-refundable fee of £27 plus VAT (per person) applies for these checks and Coadjute will handle the payment for this service. These anti-money laundering checks must be completed before we can send the memorandum of sale to the solicitors to confirm the sale.

As a regulated Sales Agent, we are required to be part of an approved redress scheme. We are members of The Property Ombudsman, which is a government-approved scheme providing independent dispute resolution.

From time to time, we may introduce buyers or sellers to The Mortgage Quarter. Use of their services is entirely optional. If you choose to proceed with them, please be aware that we may receive an average referral payment of £200 for the introduction.

Stamp Duty Land Tax (SDLT) may be payable on your purchase. We advise speaking with your solicitor or legal representative to confirm what, if any, amount is due based on the latest government guidelines.
