At first glance, this home impresses with its distinctively Gothic facade. You'll find it in a grade-two listed building dating back to the late-seventeenth century and overlooking Exeter's green trimmed cathedral. Here, you're right at the heart of the action, nestled on Cathedral Yard amidst a delightful cluster of period architecture and just steps from the city's bustling high street. With its unique location on the third floor, this home boasts spectacular views of the city, countryside and coast. We love this home's opulent art deco aesthetic. Inside, it's a timeless canvas of high ceilings and oak parquet floors adorned with stylish decor and contemporary amenities. Spend your downtime relaxing in the open-plan living space, curled up in the plush lounging nook or cooking a feast in the fully-equipped kitchen, with its marble quartz worktops and state of the art appliances. After a restful slumber in the sumptuous bedrooms, spend mornings roosted at the dining table, tucking into coffee and pastries. Spend your days exploring the nearby cobbled streets lined with independent cafes and boutiques, or head to Exeter Quay, twelve minutes away on foot, for a stroll by the water. Come sunset, head to Queen Street for its delectable array of eateries and rooftop bars, a five-minute walk from your doorstep.
