SITUATION

This is a spacious and substantial unpretentious semi-detached Victorian town house in Exeter's prime residential location less than a mile from the city centre. The house occupies a level modest site with gardens which are private and in the main paved for easy maintenance but also includes a spacious area where there is a plunge pool.

Of late Victorian origins this house still includes a number of lovely features from that era including some fine marble fireplaces, cornices, etc, together with a fine balustraded staircase. In addition the property includes a separately accessible ground floor annexe which is ideal as ancillary accommodation for elderly relative, teenager or even possibly letting. The property has during the current owner's occupancy been looked after well but yet there is still additional scope for more enhancement if required.

Lyndhurst Road is located in the heart of St Leonards close to the hospitals and excellent local amenities. The property is only a short walk into the city which provides a number of excellent private and state schools at all levels together with a fine expanding well regarded university and maturing college. The city affords excellent sports and leisure facilities being situated on the river and offers a selection of theatres, cinemas, museum, football, rugby and leisure centres and the wonderful new Princesshay development which has quickly become in shopping terms the 'pride of the region'. Rail links to London Paddington are also about two hours. Exeter Airport is about five miles away providing regular air services to UK and international destinations.

Properties in Lyndhurst Road rarely come to the market for sale and the agents therefore wholeheartedly recommend early inspection.
