St Thomas of Canterbury Church, listed as a ‘building of local importance’, is a truly stunning home, originally built in the 1930’s. This impressive church was temporarily derelict until purchased in 2006 and developed into two very unique properties. Canterbury House has been exquisitely renovated providing south facing, gracious and elegant accommodation, whilst retaining a wealth of character including high ceilings, exposed beams and original stone mullion windows. These beautiful character aspects are complimented by modern features such as en suite bathroom, underfloor heating to the ground floor, gas central heating, bespoke handmade double-glazed windows and an exceptional open plan kitchen fitted with granite work surfaces and integrated appliances. An excellent space for entertaining friends and family. Outside there is a level lawned garden to the front and side with two patios and a gravelled parking area which the adjoining house has right of way over part.
Situation
A suburb of Exeter to the West of the city centre. St Thomas has its own shopping centre with banks, pubs, a post office, doctors surgery and church. A number of great quality independent shops, cafes and delis have recently opened on Cowick street making it a vibrant local centre.
A choice of schools with the West Exe Technology College within walking distance and Sainsburys supermarket also nearby. Access onto the A30, A 38 and M5 is close by whilst a regular bus service travels into the city centre with its wide range of retail and leisure facilities, University of Exeter and Cathedral.
Directions
From Exeter city centre proceed south via Western Way passing over Exe Bridges taking the second exit onto Cowick Street. Carry on to the end of the road. At the traffic lights go straight over into Dunsford Road where the property can be found on the right before the turning to Bowhay Lane.
