An exceptional and extensively improved contemporary detached home, set within an exclusive gated development of just five architect-designed houses in one of Exeter's most desired addresses, offering generous and versatile accommodation across three floors, a walled garden, spectacular roof terrace and excellent access to the city centre, Exeter School, The Maynard, the RD&E and St Leonards village shops.
Upon entering the property, you are welcomed by an impressive reception hall, featuring a striking contemporary staircase rising beneath a dramatic double-height ceiling that immediately creates a wonderful sense of space and light.
At the heart of the home is the magnificent open-plan kitchen and family room, thoughtfully enlarged and designed for both everyday family living and entertaining on a grand scale. A substantial central island provides space for casual dining and socialising, while beautifully crafted cabinetry incorporates an elegant coffee station and a built-in multi-temperature wine fridge. The kitchen will delight serious cooks and entertainers alike, featuring an exceptional range of appliances including multiple ovens, a steam and vacuum oven, induction hob, gas wok burner and teppanyaki plate, all complemented by a bespoke central extractor with integrated display shelving. Stunning marble worktops flow seamlessly into feature marble-clad walls, creating a sophisticated and cohesive design aesthetic throughout.
Adjoining the kitchen is a superb library and dining room, which also enjoys direct access to the garden, providing a wonderful setting for both formal entertaining and relaxed family gatherings. Further accommodation on the ground floor includes a cloakroom, utility and boot room, together with an integrated garage incorporating a dedicated shower area for pets or muddy boots, all accessible from within the house without the need to step outside.
Of particular note, during the extensive refurbishment undertaken by the current owners, planning consent was secured for further enhancements. Structural steelwork has already been installed to facilitate the creation of an additional garden room extending from the kitchen and family space, while consent has also been granted for an extension to the front of the first floor, offering exciting scope for future expansion.
Upstairs, the sense of space and light continues with a wide first-floor landing centred around a striking contemporary staircase. The principal suite is particularly impressive, featuring a generous bedroom, dressing room and beautifully appointed en-suite bathroom. Three further double bedrooms, one with its own en-suite, are complemented by a stylish family bathroom.
Occupying the entire top floor is an exceptional living and entertainment space that truly sets this home apart. Thoughtfully remodelled, it provides a spectacular family sitting room and cinema space, complete with a dumbwaiter serving directly from the kitchen below. Floor-to-ceiling glazed doors open onto a substantial south-facing roof terrace, offering complete privacy and an outstanding setting for entertaining, relaxing or enjoying evening sunsets above the rooftops. This floor also includes a dedicated home office/music studio and a guest cloakroom.
Outside, the property benefits from off-street parking for two vehicles and direct access to the garage. To the rear, the enclosed garden provides a wonderful private retreat, featuring a large entertaining terrace and generous lawn.
In summary, this is an exceptional contemporary home that has been extensively enhanced and beautifully maintained. Situated on one of Exeter’s most prestigious and sought-after addresses, it offers versatile accommodation across three floors, outstanding privacy and a remarkable roof terrace that makes it truly unique. A rare opportunity that must be viewed to be fully appreciated.
