6 bed detached house for sale

Pennsylvania Road, Exeter EX4

Hoopern House is an elegant Regency residence, built in 1831 and beautifully restored, set within 1.31 acres of private, landscaped gardens. Located in one of Exeter’s most desirable residential areas, the property combines period grandeur with flexible accommodation and significant ongoing income from six well-presented apartments discreetly positioned within the grounds.

The principal house showcases fine period detailing throughout, including parquet flooring, wood panelling, stained glass, and large sash windows. The reception rooms are graciously proportioned, with original fireplaces and high ceilings, flowing through to a superb contemporary kitchen featuring a central island, sleek cabinetry, and French doors to the garden. The ground floor also includes a study, snug, utility room, and boot room.

Upstairs, a galleried landing leads to a luxurious principal suite with dressing room and en suite bathroom, alongside four additional bedrooms served by a family bathroom and a further shower room. A self-contained lower ground floor apartment, with its own entrance, provides further independent accommodation suitable for guests, staff, or extended family.

In addition to the main residence, the property includes six well-presented residential apartments: Four one-bedroom and two two-bedroom units. Two of the apartments have been recently refurbished to a high standard, and all are currently let, generating a combined income of approximately £92,000 per annum. With potential for uplift, the apartments offer valuable revenue while preserving the privacy and exclusivity of the main house. They also present an ideal solution for multi-generational living or staff accommodation, if preferred.

The grounds are entirely private, enclosed by mature trees and well-established planting. Terraces offer perfect spaces for outdoor entertaining, and wide lawns lead to a heated swimming pool with separate hot tub and an expansive decked area — a peaceful retreat that feels far removed from city life.

Despite its tranquil setting, Hoopern House is just 0.8 miles from Exeter city centre, with excellent connectivity via Exeter St David’s station (1.4 miles), the M5 (4.1 miles), and Exeter Airport (5.5 miles). A number of well-regarded schools are nearby, including Exeter School and The Maynard.

Hoopern House offers a rare combination of architectural pedigree, flexible living space, generous private grounds and immediate income — all within walking distance of the city centre.
