Oakdene

A distinguished period home in one of Exeter’s finest addresses, combining character, space and versatility.

Set within one of Exeter’s most highly regarded residential addresses in St Leonards, this attractive detached home offers a rare combination of architectural character, generous accommodation and excellent everyday practicality.

The property makes a strong first impression, with its red-brick façade set within a mature and established setting. Inside, a welcoming reception hallway immediately reflects the home’s period heritage, with beautiful stained glass, ornate ceiling detailing and moulded coving all contributing to the character and quality.

From the hallway, the principal reception spaces unfold with a natural and balanced flow. The sitting room is particularly impressive in scale, providing a bright and comfortable main living space with wonderful bay window, while the dining room, with its bay window, offers a more formal setting for entertaining.

To the rear, the kitchen/breakfast room forms the heart of the home, a generous and sociable space well suited to day-to-day family life, with a natural connection to the garden.

Additional ground floor rooms add to the flexibility of the layout, including a dedicated study, ideal for home working, and a cinema/family room which provides a more informal retreat, well suited to modern living. This combination of spaces allows the house to adapt easily, whether for family use, entertaining, or working from home.

Upstairs, the sense of space continues, with five well-proportioned bedrooms arranged across the first floor. The principal bedroom is particularly generous, complemented by further double bedrooms that can comfortably accommodate family or guests, while also offering flexibility for additional workspace if required.

Externally, the south-facing garden is a key feature, providing a private and established outdoor space that enjoys sunlight throughout the day. It works as a natural extension of the living accommodation, ideal for both relaxing and entertaining. To the front a brick paved and gravelled driveway provides ample off road parking and leads to a substantial garage. To one side there is an additional useful brick outbuilding.

In all, this is a substantial and well-balanced home in one of Exeter’s finest addresses, offering period charm, adaptable living space and an outstanding setting.
