Portland Street, Exeter

A beautifully presented and thoughtfully enhanced four-bedroom terraced home, perfectly combining period character with stylish, practical living. Situated on Portland Street, this impressive property has been carefully enhanced by the current owners to create a warm, welcoming and highly versatile home, with a semi-open-plan ground floor and a wonderful connection to the private rear garden.

From the moment you step inside, the property’s character and charm are immediately apparent. The entrance hallway leads towards an attractive staircase at the far end, with doors to the left opening into the welcoming sitting/dining room and continuing through to the superb extended kitchen/family room. This creates a lovely connected feel, while at the same time each room has its own individual style, with beautiful exposed wooden flooring adding warmth, texture and timeless quality throughout.

The sitting room is an especially cosy and atmospheric space, centred around a wood burner that provides a natural focal point and creates the perfect setting for relaxing evenings at home. Adding to the room's period charm and character is a fantastic decorative ceiling rose, a lovely feature that complements the warmth and individuality of the space. From here, the accommodation opens through the dining room towards what is undoubtedly the heart of the house — the impressive kitchen/family room.

This light-filled space has been designed with modern family life and entertaining very much in mind. Two Velux windows draw natural light into the extension, while large patio doors open directly onto the garden, creating an effortless relationship between inside and out. The kitchen combines individuality and character with practicality, featuring freestanding solid wood cabinetry, a beautiful solid oak worktop and a Belling range cooker. There is ample space for a large dining table, making this a room in which everyone can gather, whether enjoying a relaxed breakfast, entertaining friends or spending time together at the end of the day.

Completing the ground floor is a conveniently positioned WC which the current owners added and is a really practical addition.

The first floor provides two excellent double bedrooms and a particularly stylish family bathroom. The principal bedroom is beautifully appointed and enjoys a generous feel with the benefit of two windows, while the second bedroom offers equally versatile double-bedroom accommodation. The bathroom is a standout feature, beautifully appointed with a freestanding double sink unit and an elegant freestanding bath with shower over. Two windows ensure the room remains wonderfully bright and well ventilated.

The accommodation continues to the second floor, where two further good-sized double bedrooms provide excellent flexibility for family, guests or hobbies. The larger bedroom occupies the front of the house, while the second benefits from a whole wall of built-in wardrobes, providing an excellent amount of storage. A useful landing area has been cleverly utilised as a home office, offering a dedicated and practical workspace for those working from home.

Heading outside we find a charming, mature and leafy garden, offering a lovely blend of natural greenery and inviting outdoor living spaces. A beautiful timber arch, draped with mature climbing foliage, provides a natural focal point and there are several distinct spaces to enjoy, including a timber deck, a characterful brick patio and a cosy seating area at the rear, making the garden ideal for summer entertaining, alfresco dining or simply enjoying a quiet morning coffee

New owners will enjoy residents' parking, but half the time you won't need a car. The property is ideally located for accessing the best bits of Exeter with the award winning St Sidwell’s Point leisure centre only a 10 minute walk away, a 15 minute walk gets you to John Lewis or Magdalen Road and you are at the quay in 20 minutes. Belmont Park's community centre is also on your doorstep, offering everything from tap dancing to music lessons and yoga. For the youngsters, local schools include Newtown Primary School, just three streets away. Two of the best private schools in the area (Maynard's and Exeter School) are also within walking distance.
