Stylish House w/ Free Parking, Nr Exeter Centre

Summary:

This characterful Victorian home in central Exeter has a distinctive industrial style, combining rich dark walls, exposed brick and weathered wood throughout. Recycled and reclaimed materials have been deliberately incorporated into the renovation, creating a rustic, individual finish that celebrates the natural character and imperfections of the materials. There's ample space for 6 guests, spanning across 3 bedrooms and homely living spaces. You’re tucked away in the quieter streets of suburban Exeter, but still just a short walk away from the city’s best amenities. Free parking for one vehicle.



The Space:

Located on a quiet street in St Thomas, this renovated Victorian home is full of character and individuality. The interiors combine exposed brick, weathered wooden floorboards, steel beams, dark walls and industrial fittings.



Recycled and reclaimed materials have been used extensively throughout the renovation, alongside many restored original features. As a result, the property has an intentionally rustic and characterful finish rather than the pristine finish of a newly built home. Natural marks, variations and imperfections in the older and reclaimed materials are all part of its individual style.



The open-plan layout of the living room and kitchen is great for sitting back and relaxing after a long day exploring - or for evening socialising around the kitchen island. The contemporary kitchen is the real heart of the home, with so much space to rustle up delicious meals and all the tools you’d need to boot. Plus, on warm days, fling open the floor-to-ceiling bi-fold doors and enjoy a spot of alfresco dining.



Style and comfort continue upstairs where you’ll find 2 of the 3 well-sized bedrooms all individually kitted out. The Master bedroom features a comfortable king-sized bed with wall-mounted smart TV, as well as ample storage space so you can really make yourselves at home. Next door is a twin bedroom, meanwhile downstairs, there is an additional double bedroom. For added luxury, the huge family bathroom boasts an impressive dual walk-in shower, as well as dual sinks and a roll-top bath.



Exeter High Street, with its long list of shops, restaurants and cafes is a fifteen-minute walk or five minutes in the car. Alternatively, you can catch the train from Exeter St Thomas and set off for days on the coast. Free parking is available for one vehicle.



Guest Access:

Guests have access to the whole house.



The Neighborhood:

The house is located in St Thomas, a friendly neighbourhood near central Exeter. Within a 5-minute walk, you’re at the Quay where it’s a simple wander across the bridge and over into the city centre. Straddling the banks of the River Exe, the Quay area feels like you’ve left the city entirely and are instead in an oasis of calm populated by offbeat cafés and antique shops. Come night time and the place is teeming with bars, clubs, and is the perfect place to enjoy dinner by the water’s edge.



Exeter is a small, yet bustling city which is famed for its pretty Cathedral and charming historic buildings. Cafes spill out onto the green, where you can enjoy delicious alfresco lunches during spring and summer. Meanwhile, in winter, the courtyard twinkles with the lights of Christmas market stalls. The nearby high street is filled with shops and restaurants - a mixture of chain and independents - so you can shop till your heart's content. As well as the high street, there are a plethora of cobbled back streets and hidden gems to discover. From JK Rowling’s inspired The Old Fire House pub to the quirky Glorious Art House cafe and the charming Gandy Street - all are a must-visit.



One of the brilliant things about Exeter is its proximity and access to the countryside and coast. Within 15-20 minutes you could be wandering through the quaint streets of Topsham - a fishing village where you’ll find some fantastic antique shops. Or, tucking into fresh fish and chips at the famous Dart’s Farm. Enjoy days spent on the beach at Exmouth, Sidmouth or Budleigh Salterton - and make sure to stop off at Lympstone Manor, a beautiful manor house hotel run by Michael Caines.
