Description
Set against a stunning rural backdrop on the outskirts of the city, this charming semi-detached period cottage occupies a truly enviable position. Boasting far-reaching countryside views and a wonderfully peaceful setting, the property offers a rare combination of tranquillity and character.
Edgehill is one of the area's most desirable semi-rural locations, offering the best of both worlds: open countryside on the doorstep, yet with excellent access to the City’s amenities. This property sits on a generous plot with mature gardens, off-road parking, a detached double garage, and it's own access to Argyll Road, making it an ideal purchase for those looking for a bespoke home in a highly sought-after position.
The cottage itself retains much of its original charm and has been upgraded to a high standard by the current owners. Internally, the accommodation is well-proportioned over two floors.
An enclosed entrance porch leads into a traditional hallway, with a ground-floor cloakroom to the side. Downstairs is open plan creating a bright and spacious practical space with views to the front and a focal point fireplace retaining the properties character and charm. To the rear, a conservatory that frames the spectacular garden views to enjoy the ever-changing rural landscape.
Upstairs, the property comprises two generous double bedrooms, each benefitting from high ceilings and open aspects across the surrounding countryside. The family bathroom is also located on the first floor complete with a modern suite, underfloor heating and mood lighting. A particularly notable feature is the large landing which provides ample scope to create a third bedroom, home office, or study area.
Externally, the gardens are mature and well established, wrapping around the rear and side of the property with undoubtedly one of the best views in the City providing a natural outlook and privacy. The outside space lends itself perfectly to landscaping, and the orientation ensures an abundance of natural light throughout the day. The detached double garage and driveway offer ample off-road parking, space for storage of workshop use.
This is a truly rare opportunity to acquire a characterful home in an exceptional position, with outstanding views and endless potential to tailor the property to individual tastes and needs. Whether a main home or a countryside retreat, Edgehill offers a lifestyle that is increasingly hard to find.
Situation
This impressive semi-detached property occupies a generous plot in a highly convenient and sought-after location—within walking distance of the University of Exeter, Duryard Valley, and just a mile from the city centre. Enjoying an elevated position, the property offers far-reaching views across open countryside.
Exeter itself is a thriving city with a strong cultural scene, including theatres, cinemas, and a museum, as well as a wide range of restaurants, independent shops, and national retailers. The city is well connected, with a mainline railway offering direct services to London (approximately 2 hours), Bristol, and beyond. Road connections are excellent, with the M5 and key ‘A’ roads close by, while Exeter International Airport is just 15 minutes away. Dartmoor National Park and the stunning Devon coastline are also within easy reach.
Directions
From Exeter City Centre, proceed along Longbrook Steet, merging with Pennsylvania Road. At the junction go straight across, continuing along Pennsylvania Road past Argyll Road and Higher Duryard. Turn left into the private road signposted Hillsview, at the bottom of the lane the property is on the left hand side.
