3 bedroom semi-detached house

2 Clifton Hill is a charming family home that offers a peaceful retreat close to the heart of the City. Believed to have been built in the 1820s, this bright and airy character property is on three floors with a spacious garden room / home studio, a South West facing garden and offroad parking.

Visitors enter the house from a short path leading to a beautiful stained-glass porch with lead roofing.

The entrance hall takes you to the sitting/dining room straight ahead, the kitchen on the left, a handy utility room and a downstairs WC. The sitting room is nearly 25ft long, with engineered supreme oak flooring and a marble fireplace. Light comes in from both ends and it's stylishly decorated. The neutral colours really show off the polished floors, cornice and dado rails.

Wooden double doors reveal the snug, which the current owners use as an entertainment / TV room for their children. It's a handy space that lets family members relax in their own way, without interrupting everyone else and able to entertain their friends.

Another set of recently installed engineered redwood French doors – double glazed with plantitherm glass - and you're in the garden. It's South West facing, attracts local birdlife and offers a stunning Sun trap in the afternoon. A raised patio area is a perfect place for 'al fresco' dining with friends. The low wall and slate steps make a pleasing boundary with the rest of the garden, with its raised beds, small lawn and pavers. The weathered bricks help to add warmth and character.

Looking back at you from the end of the garden is a spacious, fully insulated garden room / home studio clad in cedar wood which blends into its surroundings. It's currently set up with a curved desk and a separate standing desk and is perfect for those wishing to work from home and for family members wanting a quiet place to carry out hobbies and crafts, study or game.

Stepping back into the house, you'll find the stairs coming off the entrance hall. There are two floors above. The first has three bedrooms and the family bathroom. These rooms all have large sash windows and are bathed in light.

One floor up is a nice-sized landing, with a spacious loft room, bathroom and storage space. The landing has its own 'snug' area which the current owners use as their quiet retreat. Space for a couple of comfy armchairs and that pile of books you never quite get through….

Back to the ground floor, and we find the bright, traditional kitchen. It has windows on three sides, plus room for a table and benches. The back door leads to more outside space, including a roofed area where the current owners store their freezer, bikes, paddleboards and sports equipment and a paved area for private offroad parking.

The house benefitted from a partial rewiring refit, as recently as May 2022.

2 Clifton Hill is located on a peaceful, leafy one-way road, close to the heart of the City centre. Cyclists and parents will be pleased to hear that much of the area is a 20mph zone, making for safer bike rides. Waitrose is a 5-minute walk away. A dry-ski slope and golf driving range are a 2-minute walk away at the foot of Clifton Hill. There you will also find Belmont Park with its thriving Community Centre, offering everything from Pilates, jazz and roots orchestras, Capoeira and adults circuits and a popular spot for young families. Walk on and you will find the recently opened St Sidwell's Point Pool and Leisure Centre and The Vue cinema, both within an easy and pleasant 10-minute walk as is the city centre where you'll find a wealth of diverse cafés, restaurants and shopping, including John Lewis.

For the youngsters, local children's nurseries and schools include Ladysmith's Junior School (just one street away). Within an easy 10-minute walk, you have two of the South West's leading independent schools, Exeter School (Co-educational, age 7 – 18) and The Maynard School (Girls, age 4 – 18): both individually recognised by The Sunday Times as the top independent schools in the South West in recent years.

Exeter is a thriving, culturally diverse City with its leading Russell Group University, Science Park, theatre, museum, arts centre and excellent shopping centre. The M5 motorway at Exeter provides links to Bristol and London and the A30 to Cornwall or A38 to Plymouth. There are regular rail services to London Paddington (2 hours 10 minutes) and London Waterloo. Exeter Airport International provides a range of domestic and international flights.
