West Avenue

Set on one of Exeter’s most desirable, tree-lined avenues, West Avenue offers a rare opportunity to enjoy substantial family living in a peaceful yet wonderfully convenient city location. This handsome 1930s home sits within a close-knit community renowned for its period architecture, convenience, and enduring appeal to families and professionals alike.

The area is particularly popular with families thanks to the proximity of a number of highly regarded schools. St Sidwell’s C of E Primary is close by, while respected independent schools including Exeter School and The Maynard are within around a mile and the University of Exeter campus is within walking distance.

Behind its elegant façade, the house offers over 4,000 sq ft of beautifully balanced accommodation, thoughtfully arranged for modern family life, entertaining and flexible living. Period character blends effortlessly with contemporary comfort, creating a warm and welcoming home with excellent flow. The ground floor is notably light and spacious, with two impressive reception rooms that showcase the generous proportions and classic detailing of the era. A snug and separate playroom provide ideal spaces for children, quiet relaxation or dedicated home working, allowing the house to adapt easily to changing family needs.

At the heart of the home is the exceptional kitchen and breakfast room, extending to over 37 feet and opening directly onto the garden on two sides. This is a truly sociable space, perfectly suited to everyday family life as well as larger gatherings, with seamless indoor and outdoor living in the warmer months. A larder and utility room sit conveniently alongside, with internal access to the large double garage.

The first floor has been carefully reconfigured to an immaculate standard, creating a sense of space throughout. A generous landing offers room for a study area or reading nook, ideal for home working or homework alike.

The principal bedroom suite is particularly impressive, featuring a bespoke fitted dressing room with amazing storage options and a luxurious en suite bathroom. Five further well-proportioned bedrooms provide excellent flexibility, two of which share an en suite, making the layout ideal for larger families or multi-generational living, while a contemporary family bathroom completes the floor.

Outside, the property enjoys a private position at the top of West Avenue, with a driveway providing ample parking and access to the double garage. The mature rear garden offers a high degree of privacy, predominantly laid to lawn and framed by established trees and shrubs, offering both privacy and a safe and enjoyable space for children. A terrace directly outside the kitchen and breakfast room creates the perfect setting for outdoor dining and relaxed family entertaining.

Altogether, West Avenue is a wonderfully versatile and substantial home, offering space, flexibility and location in equal measure, perfect for families seeking long term living, those working from home, or anyone looking to accommodate multiple generations under one roof.
