SITUATION

This represents an excellent opportunity to buy an attractive yet substantial period house which occupies a popular residential area within walking distance of the city centre, both mainline stations, the main University campus and Exeter College.

Currently a private family home this spacious house offers well proportioned accommodation which has character features throughout such as period fireplaces, panelled doors and polished wood floors. The property has been extended on the ground floor to provide a useful office/consulting room/bedroom which has an adjoining shower room/WC. In addition there are two reception rooms on the ground floor along with the kitchen whilst upstairs the utility room lends itself to conversion to a bathroom which would then free up the top floor bathroom to be restored to a bedroom, then providing at least four bedrooms in the property. In addition there is further potential for dividing the large front bedroom into two and also using the ground floor extension as a bedroom.

There is a garden area at the front and an attractive low maintenance courtyard to the rear, and at the end of the garden is the detached double garage which is an incredibly rare asset in this part of the city centre.

Overall this is a fine spacious well located house equally suited as a private house or investment property and the owners sole agents have no hesitation in recommending this property.
