Description

This spacious and very charming three storey period residence comes with 4 double bedrooms and offers an exciting opportunity for the discerning buyer to acquire a property of special historical interest lying just off the city centre. Northernhay, meaning northern enclosure, is an area of the city centre steeped in history encompassing Northernhay Street, Northernhay Square and Northernhay Gardens which is believed to be the oldest public park in the country, dating back as far as 1612.

As you enter the house you are immediately struck by the abundant character and period elegance, the high ceilings and bay windows worthy of particular mention. The property has been in the same ownership for almost 50 years and offers new buyers the opportunity to sympathetically modernise, refurbish and restore this much loved family home into a stunning city centre gem. The property stands in a corner position at the far end of the square with sunny front patio and a completely walled and private rear courtyard providing the ideal environment for ‘alfresco style’ eating and entertaining. We understand that it is possible to occasionally park in the square although the parking is not allocated. Residents’ permit parking options are available in the area and Northernhay Street Car Park (pay & display) lies just 200 yards away.

Strong interest is anticipated from those seeking a well placed investment property for the rental market or a stylish tucked away home for professional people seeking the city-esque lifestyle just moments from Exeter Central train station, the high street shops, Cathedral, Exeter's prime business district and Law Courts in Southernhay, pubs and multicultural eateries. The property is also within comfortable walking distance of the hospitals, St David's station, Exeter’s vibrant maritime quayside and Exeter University. St Luke’s Campus is located on the east side of the city centre and Streatham Campus across to the north-west.

5* -

Burgoyne is a first class Estate Agency. The team are all highly professional and friendly too. We received sound advice that enabled us to market our house in the best light. Everyone worked hard to secure our sale and kept us fully informed every step of the way. It always felt like we had a team truly acting on our behalf whilst being entirely honest and realistic.

I could not recommend Burgoyne more highly. If only all estate agents were as honest, reliable and caring.

Thank you John, Lyn and Jemma
