About this home
A detached three-bedroom home occupying a corner plot in Higher St Thomas, offered with no onward chain and on the market for the first time in over 25 years. Renovated throughout, the property features wrap-around gardens, a garage, off-road parking for two cars, and a separate block-built garden office. West Exe School is a five-minute walk away, with four primary schools within a 20-minute walk.
The living room and front terrace enjoy elevated views across Exeter to the Cathedral.
Recent upgrades include new thermally efficient double glazing, complete recarpeting, replaced fascias, soffits, and guttering, and a professionally cleaned roof.
The generous living room is dual-aspect and spans the full width of the front. A large picture window makes the most of the cityscape and elevated views of the cathedral, while a second window overlooks the side garden.
A stunning kitchen: this is a bespoke, culinary-focused space with full-height cabinetry, swing-out corner units, and discreet kick-drawers. The Kashmir White granite worktops include a dedicated seamless slab for pastry. High-specification integrated NEFF appliances comprise dual ovens (one with steam function), a five-ring gas hob with an angled, professional-grade extractor hood designed to maximise headroom, and an integrated microwave. A full-height fridge, matching freezer, dishwasher, Quooker instant-hot tap, twin sinks, and polished Italian marble flooring.
The dual-aspect dining room at the rear comfortably seats twelve. Features a hand-scraped solid oak floor, a ribbon fire in a polished black granite surround, and bespoke alcove cabinetry with granite-composite tops, integrated wine fridge housing, and a glazed glassware cabinet.
On the first floor is a beautifully designed principal bedroom positioned to the rear. It features a full wall of floor-to-ceiling fitted wardrobes, dimmable lighting, and bespoke alcove storage flanking the original chimney breast - complete with integrated power points and an adjacent linen cupboard. This generous layout can easily accommodate a king-size bed, a dedicated dressing table area, and a classic Cheval mirror.
Bedroom two is a newly plastered and decorated double bedroom with twin windows maximising the city views. Generous proportions can easily accommodate a double bed, double wardrobe, chest of drawers, and a dressing table.
The front-facing bedroom three is a single with space for a wardrobe, chest of drawers, and a desk.
The bright landing features a full-height utility cupboard housing the washing machine, tumble dryer, and ironing board. With a spiral staircase to the loft space.
One of the property's standout features is the main bathroom, which has been completely transformed into a high-end, boutique-style sanctuary. It is fully tiled, floor-to-ceiling, in luxurious silver-honed Italian travertine. The centrepiece is a striking freestanding slipper bath, complemented by a separate walk-in shower cubicle. Additional features include a sleek fitted vanity unit with an integrated basin, a large wall-mounted mirror with built-in ambient lighting and a demister pad, and a stainless-steel heated towel rail.
The loft space is accessed via a spiral staircase from the landing. It includes a Velux window with city views, eaves storage, and a separate shower room with a cubicle, WC, wash basin, and heated towel rail.
Outside the property, you will find tiered and gravelled front gardens that feature a viewing terrace. Steps lead to a south-facing lawn, patio, and an additional rear patio with an external storage cupboard and tap. At the rear, a larger-than-average single garage with power and lighting. Off-road parking for two cars.
