About St Margaret's:
Originally built as single houses, the site was acquired by St Margaret’s and converted into a school in the 1920s, which welcomed local pupils through its doors well into the 21st century.
St Margaret’s has now returned to its original use as Exeter-based developer, Grenadier, redevelops the Grade II and Grade II* listed buildings into energy efficient homes for the area.
The redevelopment celebrates, preserves and sensitively restores features reminiscent of the eras through which St Margaret’s has evolved: including the Georgian high ceilings with delicate coving, elegant staircases and marble fireplaces, as well as the Edwardian stained-glass windows and ornate Ironwork banisters.
Challenging the myth that historic listed buildings can’t compete with the efficiency of new-build homes, St Margaret’s Residences is leading by example having set a new benchmark for period homes by being the first set of historic buildings in the UK to reach Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) ‘A’
