5 bedroom end of terrace house

This well-presented end of terrace townhouse dates from the early 19th century and features a wealth of original character details throughout, including exposed timber beams, large sash windows and brick-built fireplaces, alongside elegant contemporary styling and fittings. The property occupies a central position in Exeter close to the city centre and the quayside.

The accommodation is arranged across four levels, with the ground floor offering a spacious sitting room with exposed wooden floorboards and sash windows to the front and rear welcoming plenty of natural light. The ground floor also has an en suite double bedroom, which could be used as a home study or a guest bedroom providing flexible accommodation. Stairs lead down to the lower ground level and to a discrete cloakroom. The lower ground level provides a further reception room with a decorative open fireplace and a door that leads out onto the garden. The well-equipped kitchen is also on this level with farmhouse-style units, granite worktops, a Belfast sink and space for all the necessary appliances, as well as a large family dining table.

Upstairs on the first floor there are three well-appointed double bedrooms, two of which benefit from built-in storage. The first floor also has a family bathroom with a modern freestanding bathtub. Further up on the second floor there is a further double bedroom with a stylish en suite shower room.

The delightful walled garden at the rear of the house features a private patio area for al fresco dining as well as a large area of lawn with an ornamental pond, border shrubs, trees and hedgerows providing a degree of privacy. There is also a shed for garden storage. The property benefits from a detached garage while further parking is available in a shared carpark for an annual charge.
