If it feels like you've stepped into someone's home, that's very much the point. Previously lived in and loved by the host, this central Exeter house is brimming with warm furnishings and useful amenities. The open-plan kitchen and table are ideal for a family meal, and we love the cosy log burner in the living room and the airy boho-styling in the bedrooms. In terms of location, it’s the perfect spot to explore the city and the surrounding Devonshire countryside.

Home truths:
