Freehold
An elegant and substantial six-bedroom period family home, offering nearly 3,000 sq ft of accommodation with a large double garage, mature garden and a highly convenient central Exeter setting
Situation
53 Blackboy Road occupies a highly convenient position within easy read of Exeter city centre. The property is well placed for the city's excellent range of shops, cafes, restaurants, schools and cultural amenities, while offering a level of space, garden and garaging rarely found so close to the centre.
The immediate area is well served by local amenities, including a nearby pub, restaurant and bus stop, making day-to-day living particularly convenient. The High Street, Princesshay, Exeter Cathedral, Southernhay and the historic Quayside are all readily accessible.
Exeter is a thriving cathedral and university city, known for its blend of historic architecture, independent businesses and modern facilities. Exeter Central and St David's stations provide rail services locally, regionally and nationally, while the M5, A30 and international airport offer further transport connections.
Description
53 Blackboy Road is an impressive period residence arranged over three floors, extending to approximately 2,663 sq ft, with a further double garage of approximately 307 sq ft, giving a total of around 2,970 sq ft.
The property has a graceful and well-balanced feel, with generous room proportions, high ceilings, large windows and attractive period detailing throughout. The elegant panelled internal doors are a particularly charming feature, adding to the sense of heritage and craftsmanship within the home. Timber flooring, decorative detailing and well-scaled reception rooms further enhance its character.
Modern improvements, including refurbished bathrooms, sit comfortably alongside the property's period features, creating a practical and appealing family home. With three reception rooms, six bedrooms, a mature rear garden and substantial garaging, the house offers remarkable versatility in such a central Exeter location.
Accommodation
The ground floor is arranged around a welcoming entrance hall, from which the principal rooms are accessed. To the front is a generous sitting room, with large windows, timber flooring and attractive proportions. A separate dining room provides an excellent formal entertaining space, with glazed doors opening to the front garden.
The kitchen is positioned towards the rear of the house and is fitted with a range of units, with access through to a useful utility room. An adjoining breakfast room created an informal everyday dining area, while a ground floor WC adds further practicality.
On the first floor, there are four bedrooms. The principal bedroom is a generous double and benefits from an adjoining dressing room. Three further bedrooms are served by a refurbished bathroom and a modern shower room.
The second floor provides two additional bedrooms, both well suited to teenagers, visiting guests, hobbies or home working. This upper level adds further flexibility and makes the property particularly well suited to larger households.
Outside
The rear garden is a notable feature, providing a mature and private outdoor space within close read of the city centre. It is arranged with paved seating areas, lawn, established planting and trees, creating an attractive setting for outdoor dining, entertaining or family use.
To the rear is a large double garage with newly fitted electric doors, offering excellent parking, storage or workshop potential. This is a significant advantage for a property in such a central position.
