Description

A Unique Period Home in the Heart of St Leonards with Stunning Southerly Views and Over 2200 Sq Ft of Versatile Living Space. Offered to the market with no onward chain.

Perfectly positioned in sought-after St Leonards, this beautifully converted period home offers the best of both worlds - peaceful, spacious living with easy access to Exeter's vibrant and historic Quayside, known for its coffee shops, riverside walks, and scenic cycle paths.

Arranged over three generous floors and extending to just over 2200 sq ft, the property has been thoughtfully updated in recent years to blend elegant period charm with contemporary comforts.

Flooded with natural light, this sociable space leads through to a conservatory/sunroom that opens directly onto the south-facing rear garden - the perfect spot for morning coffee or evening entertaining. A versatile dining room (currently used as a games room) offers further flexible living space on this level.

Upstairs, the first floor comprises three well-proportioned double bedrooms - one with a walk-in wardrobe - and a stylish family bathroom. The entire top floor is dedicated to an impressive principal suite, complete with a large bedroom, private south-facing balcony with far-reaching countryside views, and a luxurious bathroom with Jacuzzi bath, separate shower, and a walk-in dressing room accessed from the landing.

Outside, the tiered rear garden includes a sun-drenched patio and decked terrace, which steps down to a private driveway and garage, providing parking for 2-3 vehicles.
