Description
An opportunity to acquire this beautifully presented and thoughtfully extended link-detached home in the heart of St Leonards, offering a versatile layout well suited to modern family life and home working and featuring a south facing garden. The house has been significantly enhanced and is finished to a high standard throughout, with bespoke fitted window shutters, oak flooring across the ground floor, quality oak internal doors and an updated central heating system.
The front door opens into a welcoming reception hall with a window to the front and useful fitted storage beneath the stairs. From here there is access to a well equipped utility room with space and plumbing for laundry appliances, along with a modern ground floor cloakroom fitted with a wash hand basin, low level WC, quality tiled flooring, part tiled walls and a side window.
The centrepiece of the home is the impressive re modelled kitchen, fitted with quartz work surfaces and an extensive range of stylish base and wall units with under lighting and deep soft closing drawers. A Rangemaster electric cooker with induction hob sits beneath a stainless steel extractor, complemented by an integrated dishwasher, space for an upright fridge freezer and wine cooler. A one and a half bowl sink with Quooker hot water tap is set below the front window, and a cupboard discreetly houses the modern gas boiler.
The kitchen opens naturally into the main living space, creating a superb open plan arrangement incorporating the family area, sitting room and dining space. The sitting room features a contemporary Contura log burner with marble hearth and surround, with double glazed doors opening onto the rear garden and a further side window bringing in additional light. The adjoining family area offers flexibility for relaxed seating or a play space and leads through to a bright dining area with three windows overlooking the garden and large skylight window, a door to the outside and ample room for a large table and chairs.
From the dining area, a door leads to an additional room currently used as a playroom but equally suited as a home office, with a door leading to and overlooking the garden. This room connects to a further versatile space, converted from the original garage and presently arranged as a home gym. With a front aspect window, it would also work well as an occasional fourth bedroom, studio or additional office if required.
Upstairs, the accommodation continues to reflect the same level of care and quality. The landing has a side window, a fitted linen cupboard and access to a large boarded loft with lighting. The loft is well insulated and offers potential for further living space, subject to the necessary consents.
The principal bedroom is a well proportioned double overlooking the rear garden, with bespoke fitted shelving to two recesses. It opens through to a dressing area with further storage space and a rear aspect window. The en suite has been finished to an exceptional standard, comprising a contemporary wash basin set above fitted storage with tiled surround, low level WC and a generous shower enclosure with mains shower, glazed screen and attractive tiling. There is tiled flooring, a modern ladder style heated towel rail and an obscure glazed window to the front.
There are two further double bedrooms, one enjoying a pleasant outlook over the rear garden with windows to three sides, and the other positioned to the front. The family bathroom is equally well appointed, fitted with a pedestal wash basin, close coupled WC and a panelled bath with electric shower and glazed screen, complemented by quality wall and floor tiling, a heated towel rail and an obscure double glazed front window.
The property is approached via a concrete and slate chipped driveway providing off road parking for up to four vehicles, with a pathway leading to a canopied entrance porch with outside lighting. There is a large shed on the driveway, providing useful storage for bikes and prams.
A side gate gives access to the rear garden, which is a particular feature of the house. South facing and generous in size, it offers a good degree of privacy and seclusion. A large patio adjoins the house, ideal for outdoor dining and entertaining, with the remainder mainly laid to lawn and bordered by shaped flower and shrub beds. A timber shed and summer house complete the garden.
Situation
Perfectly positioned in the heart of St Leonard’s, Spicer Road enjoys a prime address in one of Exeter’s most desirable neighbourhoods. This location combines the charm of a close-knit community with the convenience of vibrant city living, just a short, level stroll from Exeter’s historic centre.
At its doorstep lies the much-loved Magdalen Road “village”, a thriving hub of independent cafés, artisan food stores, and everyday essentials, bringing a lively, local atmosphere to daily life. The area is exceptionally well served by education, with a wide selection of highly regarded schools nearby, including The Maynard, Exeter School, and several excellent state schools. The University of Exeter and Exeter College also offer outstanding further and higher education opportunities and St. Luke's campus is within walking distance.
The Royal Devon and Exeter Hospital is just moments away, making the location particularly attractive for healthcare professionals. For leisure, residents enjoy easy access to riverside walks along the Exe, and the cultural delights of the city, from theatres and museums to Exeter’s historic quayside and cathedral. Sporting enthusiasts will appreciate proximity to major venues including Sandy Park, home of the Exeter Chiefs, and St James Park football ground.
Transport connections are superb. Exeter St David’s offers direct rail links to London Paddington in around two hours, while the M5 motorway and Exeter Airport, just over five miles away, provide excellent connectivity for both business and leisure travel.
This rare combination of community, culture, education, and accessibility makes Spicer Road an exceptional choice for modern family living in Exeter.
