4 Magdalen Road is positioned at the end of a private driveway, surrounded by
around half an acre of established gardens and with ample private parking. The
house is a superb example of Georgian architecture, with a striking
symmetrical façade that creates a wonderful sense of arrival. Internally, the
proportions and layout are typical of its era, with elegant room m sizes, high
ceilings and an abundance of natural light thanks to the sash windows that
feature throughout.
From the welcoming entrance hall, the principal reception rooms and kitchen
are accessed. The attractive country style kitchen forms the heart of the
home, with a central island and attractive units, as well as an aga and space
for a large dining table. The two main reception rooms face south west, both
with French doors leading to the covered veranda overlooking the extensive
lawn and gardens beyond, an ideal spot for outdoor entertaining or simply
sitting and enjoying the surroundings. The rooms have some stunning original
features such as panelling and ornate cornicing, and both have fire places.
Also on the ground floor is a study, ideal for those who need to work from
home. An elegant Georgian staircase leads to the first - floor landing and
bedroom accommodation. The elegant proportions continue on this level, with
all four beautifully appointed bedrooms. A staircase leads to the second floor
where there are a further two bedrooms and a bathroom.
Complimenting the house is a beautifully designed contemporary building,
recently constructed and housing a superb gym area and hot tub on the ground
floor with associated shower and storage, all finished to an exceptional
standard. Extensive use of glass in the construction ensures there is plenty
of natural light whilst maintaining a good level of privacy from the main
house.
The first floor contains the living accommodation with an exquisite open plan
kitchen, living and dining room complete with the latest high quality
appliances. Also on the first floor are two bedrooms, both with en suite
shower rooms and a wraparound balcony.
4 Magdalen Road benefits from an unusually large and established garden for a
city centre property. The gardens are what one might usually expect from a
Georgian country house, with large swathes of lawn interspersed with
established borders, high hedges and mature trees. Beyond the main lawn to the
front of the house is a hidden garden with further searing areas and a pond.
The garden has an abundance of trees including, walnut, hazelnut, apple, pear,
fig, mulberry and elderflower. The high trees and established borders protect
the privacy of the house, and the gardens are bordered on one side by an
attractive red brick wall. There are also red and white grapes vines running
along the boundary. The gardens extend to about two thirds of an acre in
total.
St Leonard's is one of the most prestigious addresses in Exeter and offers a
unique city lifestyle living, being on the doorstep of the city centre and
Magdalen Road with its parade of shops. The centre of the cathedral city of
Exeter is less than a mile from the property and provides further shopping on
the historic quayside with the nearby cities of Plymouth and Bristol offering
more extensive choices.
The area has plenty of leisure activities to choose from such as leisure
centres, tennis clubs, a walking group, football, horse riding, sailing,
hiking the Jurassic Coast, fishing as well as access to three sandy beaches
within 15 miles of the property.
The area offers excellent transport links and Exeter's mainline train stations
are all within a mile and a half of the property. Trains run regularly to
nearby regional cities as well as Bristol, Plymouth and London Paddington. The
A30 and M5 lead to the national motorway network providing convenient road

both domestic and international flights.
The city and wider area is well served by good private and state schools such
as St Leonard's CofE Primary School and Exeter Mathematics School, both rated
'Outstanding' by Ofsted as well as The Maynard and Exeter School. Further
afield but still within easy reach are Blundell's in Tiverton and Stover at
Newton Abbot. The world - renowned University of Exeter is also less than two
