Walnut House

An attractive Grade II Listed detached period property, located in Exeter’s highly regarded St David’s Quarter, approximately half a mile from the city centre and within easy walking distance of Exeter College, the University campus, and both St Davids and Central stations.
The building is currently arranged as offices and offers excellent potential to be reinstated as an impressive family home or adapted to provide a combined home and business premises, subject to the necessary consents. The ground floor benefits from a substantial single storey section with its own separate entrance, lending itself well to use as a practice space or for a home run business.
To the front of the property is a generous parking area with space for six to eight vehicles. Under the current planning consent, part of this area is allocated for secure cycle and bin storage. To the rear, the property enjoys a unique enclosed garden, bordered by tall brick walls, creating a private and sheltered outdoor space rarely found so close to the heart of the city.

PLANNING
The property currently benefits from planning permission (23/0442/FUL) for the creation of 14 contemporary ‘City Suites’, arranged around shared communal facilities including a kitchen, living area and garden space. The scheme is well suited to student or young professional occupation. This provides an opportunity for an incoming purchaser to deliver a high quality, bespoke shared living scheme in a prime ocation close to the city centre and the University. Please contact Wilkinson Grant for access to the data room where you will find further details regarding the planning permission, including floor plans and further technical information.

METHOD OF SALE

AGENTS NOTE
The building was previously used as offices and currently benefits from planning permission for conversion to Sui Generis residential accommodation. Prospective purchasers wishing to use the property as a private dwelling will need to obtain planning permission for a change of use to Class C3. Likewise, those intending to combine residential use with business premises may require consent for a mixed use, such as Class C3 and Class E. We strongly recommend that interested parties seek advice from a qualified planning consultant and solicitor prior to submitting an offer.
