Glenthorne Road, Exeter EX4

Substantial 7 Bed Care Home with Owner's Accommodation. Prime Freehold Opportunity with Redevelopment Potential (STP).

Dennyshill is a spacious and well-appointed Care Home, occupying a substantial freehold plot with private gardens and extensive on-site parking. Arranged over several levels and extending to approximately 4,500 sq ft (418 sq m), the property features a highly flexible internal configuration with owner’s accommodation, multiple bedrooms, generous communal areas and a separate two-storey annexe.

The property has been operated as a successful, family-run Care Home for several decades, offering residential care in a safe, homely and well-equipped environment. Dennyshill is registered for up to 9 residents with the Care Quality Commission. With a layout designed to balance practicality and comfort, Dennyshill has provided accommodation for residents across a mix of generous bedrooms, welcoming lounge area, a large dining kitchen and extensive outdoor space. It has held a strong Care Quality Commission (cqc) record, reflecting high standards of care and compliance.

The current owners are now looking to retire, presenting a rare opportunity to acquire a fully established site with strong care credentials or alternative operational potential. In 2021, the property underwent an extensive refurbishment programme, including comprehensive upgrades to interiors and exteriors, services and finishes. As a result, it now presents in excellent decorative and structural condition, ready for immediate use or conversion. The refurbishment offers peace of mind for incoming buyers and significantly enhances the long-term value of the building. Thanks to its layout and quality, Dennyshill is ideally suited for a range of uses including continued care or supported living, student accommodation, medical or dental practices, office use, HMO or subdivision into luxury apartments (STP). The generous private quarters and annexe also make it highly adaptable as a multi-generational family residence or a ‘home and income’ opportunity, where sections could be let or operated separately.

Dennyshill is located in a peaceful and sought-after residential cul-de-sac at Glenthorne Road, just moments from Exeter city centre. With minimal traffic and pedestrian-only access beyond the crescent, the setting is both private and tranquil.

Despite its quiet surroundings, the property is within walking distance of the city’s excellent amenities including shops, pubs and cafes, the University of Exeter’s Streatham Campus and Exeter St David’s railway station, which offers direct services to London Paddington and Bristol. Road access is equally convenient via the A377, A30 and M5 corridors, placing Exeter within easy reach of the rest of the South West and beyond.
