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.
