Five Generous Bedrooms
Description
This beautifully maintained and presented Victorian semi-detached home offers superb accommodation across five bedrooms and four reception rooms, complemented by a generous city garden with a detached garden room and off-road parking for multiple vehicles.
An attractive entrance hall leads to a formal sitting room with a handsome fireplace and generous bay window, a well-proportioned study. A central dining room connects to the kitchen, beyond which lies a cloakroom/shower room, a utility/boot room, and a superb second sitting room or family room that opens directly onto the rear garden.
The first floor has a large, open landing with ample space for a desk and freestanding furniture. Five double bedrooms are served by a family bathroom which adjoins the principal bedroom and there is an exceptionally spacious family shower room.
Outside, a large terrace provides an excellent space for entertaining and summer dining, with a generous lawn beyond. At the foot of the garden is a detached outbuilding, currently configured as a home gym, though equally suited for use as a home office, studio or, if preferred, reinstated as a garage. A further area beyond the outbuilding offers additional parking or storage.
Situation
Lyndhurst Road is one of Exeter's most prestigious addresses, set within St Leonard's, a neighbourhood that has the warmth of a village community with the energy and convenience of city living, all within a short, level walk of the centre.
At the heart of St Leonard's lies the much-loved Magdalen Road village, a thriving enclave of independent cafés, artisan food shops and everyday essentials that lends the area a distinctly local, characterful feel.
Leisure opportunities are plentiful. Victoria Park Tennis Club and Exeter's acclaimed new Passivhaus gym and swimming pool are close by, while the River Exe and its adjoining valley parks offer beautiful riverside walks and cycle paths. The city's wider cultural offer, from theatres and museums to the historic quayside and Cathedral Quarter are all within comfortable walking distance.
The area is exceptionally well served for education. Among the nearby schools are The Maynard and Exeter School, alongside a number of highly regarded state schools. The University of Exeter and Exeter College provide outstanding further and higher education options, and St Luke's campus is within easy walking distance.
Transport links are excellent. Exeter St David's station offers direct rail services to London Paddington in approximately two hours, and the M5 motorway and Exeter Airport are on the edge of the city.
