2 bed flat for sale

Barnfield Road, St Leonards, Exeter EX1

An impressive garden flat situated in the heart of St Leonard's, one of the most desirable locations within Exeter. This ground floor apartment has the advantage of its own garden to the front and rear, a real feature for the location. The accommodation is currently laid out as a one bedroom flat but lends itself perfectly to a two double bedroom setup, with two large rooms to the front, an internal hallway to a sitting room/dining room, a separate generously-proportioned kitchen, and a bathroom with a shower to the rear.

The property is ideally situated in the prestigious area of St Leonard's, benefitting from a wide range of nearby amenities while retaining a quiet suburban feel. The popular Magdalen Road is just a short walk from the property, enjoying many boutique shops and cafes, as well as various gp surgeries, Bull Meadow Park, and Waitrose supermarket. Both Exeter's city centre and the quay are also just a short distance from the property, offering further shops, eateries and entertainment facilities, and there is easy access to Central train station and bus routes in and out of the city.

Accommodation

The front door opens to the entrance hallway with a further door into the inner hall. There is ample storage, with useful built-in and recess storage. Doors open from the inner hall to the sitting/dining room and to the double bedroom and living room (which could be used as a second bedroom). The living room is rich in period features, with an impressive bay window to the front aspect overlooking the front gardens, a ceiling rose, and a decorative cast-iron fireplace which is a real focal point of the room. The main bedroom is a generous double room complemented by a window to the rear aspect with a view across the private garden. There is also a built-in wardrobe and a wash basin. The sitting room/dining room is a pleasant reception room featuring a log burner, a window to the side aspect and a recessed space currently used as extra storage. A door opens into the separate kitchen which features tiled flooring, and contains a range of contemporary wall and base units with fitted worktops, a tiled splashback and a ceramic 1.5 bowl sink and drainer with a mixer tap over. Integrated appliances include a fridge and a freezer, plus space is provided for an oven, as well as a washing machine and a tumble dryer in a useful larder cupboard. A window faces the side aspect with a door opening directly out to the garden. Lastly, the bathroom comprises a bath with a mixer tap and handheld shower head over, a close-coupled WC and a pedestal wash basin. Frosted windows face the rear aspect and tiled flooring extends into a separate shower space with a shower cubicle.

The front gardens are also beautifully tended, with a variety of mature plants and shrubs, creating a real haven in the city.
