The Cedars

The Cedars is Listed Grade II and believed to have been built around 1796, when it formed part of a small estate. This elegant property has been extremely well restored by the current owners retaining all its charm and character. It is rare to find still intact such a spacious Georgian property in a central location.

The house is entered via an atrium with glass ceiling and stunning trompe-l'oeil painting on the walls. From the reception hall, doors lead into a drawing room, with a section to one end currently used as the music room, and the room has French windows with working shutters leading on to a wisteria covered verandah. There is also a more intimate sitting room and a family room. The kitchen/dining room is a particular feature of The Cedars, being L-shaped with a spacious kitchen area, well fitted with cupboards and drawers with marble work surfaces over, and built-in appliances leading into the dining area. This entire room is glazed to the rear and side, allowing an exceptional amount of natural light into the room and also giving stunning views over Exeter to the Cathedral and countryside beyond. From the dining area doors lead via a stairway to the rear garden.

On the first floor is the master bedroom with dressing area and well-fitted en suite bathroom. The dressing room could easily be used as a further bedroom if required. There is also a second bedroom with an en suite shower room and a dressing area, and a further family bathroom.

On the second floor are three further bedrooms and a cloakroom. The views from the bedroom windows are far-reaching.

On the lower ground floor of The Cedars is the self-contained flat providing ideal accommodation for an au pair or relative. The flat currently has a bedroom, sitting area and shower room. There are further useful rooms on the lower ground floor, including a home office, a gym/games room, a laundry room which houses the two boilers and hot water cylinders for the property, and a range of store rooms, including a wine cellar and workshop.

The rear garden

The rear garden has been sympathetically landscaped and offers a good deal of seclusion and privacy. A colonnade of pillars supports wires, upon which grow a kiwi vine, fruiting in late summer. There is a paved patio, semi circular lawn and delightful pond, edged by shrub borders, and a variety of trees, including a fine mimosa and copper beech.

The front garden

The front garden is accessed from St Leonard's Place via a pair of wrought-iron electronic main and side gates into a sweeping gravelled parking and turning area, with parking for numerous vehicles. There are areas of lawn with mature trees and shrubs, including Tasmanian ferns and a stunning wisteria to the front balcony. The current owners gained planning permission to erect a double garage to one side of the garden, and have laid some hardstanding.
