This superb two-bedroom apartment is located on the ground floor of the Grade II Listed Cowley Place, set in beautiful rural surrounds, just two miles from Exeter city centre.

Originally built as a private residence, it became the regional headquarters for a national bank and the building was extended. The entire property was divided into 14 apartments in the 1990’s, 6 being in the original house. Numerous character features remain, including high ceilings, large sash windows and elegant ceiling roses and cornicing.

Entered via a communal hallway, the apartment has a well-proportioned living room with a large bay window overlooking the rolling grounds, gardens and river to the front of the house. The kitchen offers plenty of storage in fitted units to base and wall level as well as space for all of the necessary appliances. The generous principal double bedroom features two large sash windows allowing for a wealth of natural light and benefits from fitted storage and an en suite bathroom. The apartment also has a separate shower room and one further double bedroom.

Lawned gardens run down to the river and paths meander through the land creating some wonderful walks. There is a large and rich variety of mature trees within the gardens, which extend to over 11 acres and also include approximately 400 yards of fishing rights on both the Exe and the Creedy. There is an indoor heated swimming pool, a tennis court and a communal basement area with a games room, a wine cellar and a large room used for the residents communal meetings.
