Property description
LOCATION St Leonards lies to the southeast of Exeter City centre and is one of
the most desired addresses in the city. Larkbeare Road sits just a
stone's throw from the River Exe and is within easy reach of Magdalen
Road: a bustling little street full of boutique shops. It offers: a
delicatessen, fishmongers, greengrocers, wine shop, bakery,
convenience store, various cafes and restaurants, a public house,
florist, pharmacy, hairdressers and a launderette, to name but a few.
For larger shopping trips the new Waitrose store in Heavitree is only
c. 0.4 miles away and for a greater assortment, the heart of Exeter is
only c. 0.5 miles away, offering a plethora of retail outlets, covering
the best of the "high street" brands, along with boutiques and popular
well known restaurants in and around the Princesshay shopping hub.
DESCRIPTION Situated well off the "beaten track", this quite enchanting detached
cottage, thought to date back to around 1740, has the feeling that if
walls could talk - there would be some wonderful tales. The house is
arranged over three floors and also benefits from a cellar, though with
restricted head height. At the heart of the house is the sitting room
with delightful feature fire place; beyond this is a perfectly formed
dining area and a fabulously appointed kitchen beyond. The
remaining two floors hold on the first; a family bathroom with white
fitted suite, a large landing/study area and the master bedroom, then
finally the top floor holds the two remaining bedrooms, of which
both have built in storage and the rearmost has loft access too. The
house has been lovingly and painstakingly renovated creating calm
and open living spaces. The property is approached over a no through lane and has two
accesses, a pedestrian gate and a pair of double gates for bikes, boats
and a small car to hide. The rea garden is access through the sitting
room, having two terraces, one paved, the other decked with mature
planning around its edges. Just a short walk down hill is the river,
with all it has to offer.
