Property description
PRINCESSHAY First opened in the mid-1950s, Princesshay is said to have been the first pedestrianised shopping street in the country. It replaced the area known as Bedford Circus which included the Eastgate Arcade, which was levelled by the City Council following damage in the Baedeker Raids of 1942. Redesigned and re-opened in September 2007, Princesshay has enjoyed great success and won many prestigious awards including the British Council of Shopping Centres "Supreme Gold Award" in 2007, Retail Week's "Shopping location of the year" in 2008, and the International Council of Shopping Centres "Best Medium Sized Shopping Centre in Europe" in 2008. Today Princesshay continues to include and draw many of the best in "high street" brands; most recently to arrive is John Lewis & Hollister. There are also many more shops, bars and eateries around the breathtaking Exeter Cathedral in Cathedral Yard and further afield throughout the city. Other visual pleasures include Gandy St, Royal Albert Memorial Museum and the historic Quay.
THE APARTMENT Entering the apartment via the well maintained and considered communal area, you are welcomed into number five by a light and spacious entrance hall with plenty of storage space for coats, shoes and a side table along with a large fitted storage cupboard for cleaning utensils and vacuum cleaner. Leading directly off this is a fully fitted, modern bathroom with bath and shower and next door is the bedroom with built in wardrobes and room for additional free standing furniture. Through the hallway leads to the well-proportioned open plan living area, where you will find another generous storage cupboard, a spacious sitting area, a breakfast / dining area, (currently used as a study area) and the fully integrated fitted kitchen, all of which enjoy wonderful views over the Princesshay shopping development and main high street.
