Occupying an elevated position in this highly regarded residential area, this substantial family home combines generous and versatile accommodation with some impressive far reaching views across Exeter and the surrounding countryside. Arranged over three floors and extending to approximately 2,116 sq ft, the house offers an excellent balance of sociable family space, quieter rooms and the flexibility needed for modern life, including working from home.

The ground floor is particularly impressive, centered around a large open plan kitchen, dining and living space which forms the real hub of the home. With an abundance of natural light, generous proportions and a wonderful outlook, this is a space designed equally well for busy family life, relaxed evenings and entertaining. The kitchen is well integrated into the room, while a useful pantry provides additional storage and practicality.

A separate living room provides a valuable second reception space, allowing different members of the family to enjoy their own areas and giving flexibility for children, entertaining or quieter relaxation. There is also a ground floor cloakroom and an entrance hall with access to the integral garage, adding further practicality to the everyday arrangement.

On the first floor are four bedrooms, including an impressive principal bedroom with its own en-suite shower room. Two further well proportioned bedrooms are complemented by a fourth, smaller bedroom which could work particularly well as a nursery, child's bedroom or dedicated home office. A family bathroom completes this floor.

The accommodation continues on the second floor with a sizeable loft room, providing a versatile additional space that could be used as a home office, hobbies room, teenage den or simply excellent additional storage, subject to any necessary consents and alterations. Its generous proportions add another dimension to what is already a highly adaptable home.

Outside, the recently landscaped garden provides an attractive setting in which to relax, dine and entertain during the warmer months, while making good use of the property's elevated position. The integral garage provides useful secure parking and storage, with further parking available to the front.

The location is a major part of the property's appeal. Argyll Road is an established residential setting, well placed for Exeter's excellent range of schools, everyday amenities and transport connections, while the city centre is readily accessible. The combination of a peaceful residential environment, convenient access to the wider city and countryside outlook makes this a particularly appealing setting for family life.

With its generous proportions, four bedrooms, two reception areas, exceptional open plan living space, dedicated home-working options, substantial loft room, garage and far reaching views, this is a home that offers the flexibility to adapt around a family's changing needs.

Situation

Argyll Road occupies an elevated position within Exeter's popular Pennsylvania and Duryard area, offering a particularly good balance between convenient city living and easy access to open countryside. The city centre is readily accessible, with its excellent range of shopping, cafés, restaurants, cultural attractions and leisure facilities, while the University of Exeter's Streatham campus is also within easy reach.

The area is well served by a range of schools, with local primary provision complemented by Exeter College and St James School, while Exeter School and The Maynard are also accessible.

For commuters, regular bus services operate nearby, while St James Park, Exeter St Davids and Exeter Central railway stations provide convenient connections to the wider region and national rail network. Exeter St Davids offers particularly useful connections towards London, Bristol and the South West.

One of the area's particular attractions is the access to Exeter's surrounding countryside. Duryard Valley and the extensive network of footpaths and green spaces around the University and northern edge of the city provide opportunities for walking and outdoor recreation, while the wider Devon countryside is readily accessible by road. The result is a location that combines the convenience of being close to the city with the space, greenery and outlook that make this part of Exeter such an appealing place to live.
