A magnificent Grade II listed townhouse in the heart of St. Leonards, offering six bedrooms, elegant living spaces, landscaped gardens, off-street parking and a converted coach house garage.
A rare opportunity to acquire a distinguished Grade II listed semi-detached Georgian townhouse in the heart of St. Leonards, one of Exeter's most desirable residential enclaves. This graceful six-bedroom home offers a wealth of period charm, generous proportions, and a large beautifully landscaped garden, with a garage and off-street parking.
Arranged over four floors, the property offers just under 4,000 sq ft of versatile living space. The entrance porch welcomes you through to the grand hallway, leading to the two original reception rooms. The dining room with a wood burning stove has French doors opening to the rear garden, and the formal sitting room, complete with a feature fireplace, and two large sash French windows that open to the front garden. Both rooms bathed in natural light.
The heart of the home is the Victorian extension to the rear of the property, measuring 41 ft. in length and with a superb view over the rear garden. This wonderful family space includes a stunning kitchen diner, featuring white cabinetry, wooden countertops, a central island with pendant lighting, exposed beams and bi-folding doors opening directly onto the rear garden terrace. This space flows into a relaxed seating area that features a unique corner window that perfectly frames the rear garden. A utility room and cloakroom/WC complete the ground floor, with stairs leading down to the lower ground floor level, where a quiet study, and ample storage space can be found.
Upstairs, the first and second floors offer six well-appointed bedrooms. The principal bedroom is well proportioned and enjoys front garden views, a decorative fireplace, and a large stylish en suite with a double walk-in shower, a double sink unit and a feature ornate fireplace. A further family bathroom and separate WC serve the remaining two bedrooms on the first floor, with a second family bathroom serving the three remaining bedrooms on the second floor, offering flexibility for family living or guests.
A covered veranda porch with decorative metal columns overlooks the charming front garden, that is landscaped with flowering borders, including vibrant roses, and a neatly kept lawn. To the rear, a generous and beautifully maintained walled garden features a large lawn, mature trees and shrubs, raised boarders and a paved patio area offering plenty of space for outdoor seating and a perfect spot to enjoy alfresco dining and entertaining in the evening.
At the end of the garden stands a converted coach house, now a garage with a side access. In front, there is ample off-street parking for three cars and an EV charging station. The coach house offers excellent storage with a first floor, and offers potential for further development (subject to planning). The parking and garage is accessed via a rear lane to Magdalen Road.
