Our home is a terraced house from 1930, which we have bought recently and are updating and improving to a modern continental look, fresh and bright. On the ground floor there is a living room with a fireplace (wood burner), piano, tv and large bay windows onto the front patio. Then there are the dining room and kitchen, divided by a kitchen island, and a separate utility room (with a sink, storage and the washing machine) and downstairs toilet. Upstairs there are two large bedrooms (one is ours, the other our son's), a small office and a family bathroom. There is a decked area just outside of the kitchen, and a small garden just below it with access to the outside car par. The living room includes a sofa bed that comfortably sleeps two people, but we have stated house capacity to 5 for comfort. The house has sun the whole day, with sunrise visible from the decked area in the back and sets in the front through the bay window in the living room. It is a lovely, homely house that we bought recently (2025) and are slowly making ours: we will update pictures as we go!

The house is a 10 minutes’ walk from Exeter city Centre, in a calm but well-connected neighbourhood . It has a park for children two minutes away, and a bigger one 10min away (Belmond Park). We are 15min walk to the University, and about 30min to the Quayside, or a short drive. There is a small supermarket 3min away by foot, and three bigger ones a short drive away. Exeter has a stunning gothic cathedral and all the main services of a city. It has a beautiful Quayside along the Exe, with restaurants, pubs and cafés as well as rental of bikes and paddles to explore the rive all the way to the coast.

Exeter is in Devon, a beautiful region which boasts amongst the best coast and beaches in England and stunning nature. Within 50miles (80km) radius of Exeter there is the English Riviera, Dartmoor and Exmoor National Parks and the Jurassic Coast World Heritage site. Driving distance are the beautiful villages of Totnes, Dartmouth, Salcombe, all deserving a visit and excellent departure for hikes along the coast and inland. There are cultural sites to visit, including Powderham Castle and Buckland Abbey (home to Sir Francis Drake), as well as Agatha Christie's primary holiday home, Greenway, on the banks of the River Dart.

Cornwall and its fantastic beaches for surfing and stunning coastal paths are also nearby, from 1h drive onwards.

Bristol, Bath, Wells and Stonehenge are about 1h-2 hours’ drive (Bristol is 1h on the train), and there is a direct train to London Paddington (2h).

The closest airports are Exeter, Bristol and Cardiff, and London Heathrow is well connected to Exeter via direct bus (3h direct from Heathrow's bus terminal) or via train.

The Southwest of England is a fantastic holiday destination, has a great food scene, sun most of the summer, and balmy temperatures in the summer (never over 30 C).

Do ask if you have any question!
