Property description
Extremely spacious apartment in elegant Georgian mansion house set in about one third acre private gardens and grounds, quiet yet convenient city location, garage & parking, double glazing, mains gas central heating - one of just four properties in this lovely period building - view today: we’re open 7 days a week!
This extremely spacious apartment forms virtually the entire first floor of this elegant detached Georgian mansion house, beautifully located on the outskirts of Exeter in a quiet secluded setting, yet within easy reach of nearby amenities including St Lukes Science & Sports College, Sainsburys & Aldi supermarkets, Pinhoe railway station (which has national rail connections), a bus stop at the end of Pilton Lane, and the city centre which is about 2 miles to the west.
The house was built in about 1770 and is very much typical of Georgian architecture. It was divided into four properties (3 large luxury apartments and a coach house/lodge) in about 1985 and has about 170 years remaining on the lease. The large gardens and grounds form a wonderful feature, and extend to about a third of an acre, being beautifully mature and well maintained by a professional gardener. There are sweeping lawns, a large herbaceous border, mature hedging and trees, ample off road parking and a garage for each of the properties.
Internally the apartment offers very spacious 3 bedroomed accommodation, with most rooms being well proportioned and with high ceilings. The present owner has recently carried out various improvements, some of which include: Installation of a new gas boiler about 2.5 years ago (providing domestic hot water and central heating), newly fitted carpets in the living room and kitchen/dining room, re-decoration of most of the rooms, and uPVC double glazing fitted about a year ago. The main entrance has a graceful sweeping staircase which serves the three apartments, with apartment 2 being on the first floor overlooking the gardens & grounds.
