Bonnington Grove, Heavitree, Exeter EX1

A beautifully preserved and immaculately presented 1930s Victorian-style mid-terrace home offering three bedrooms, elegant living spaces, and a wealth of original period features. This fine example of early 20th-century architecture combines character with comfort, blending authentic charm with tasteful modern touches. Situated in one of Heavitree’s most desirable residential streets, the property presents a rare opportunity to own a stunning period home in this sought-after part of Exeter.

Description From the moment you step into the welcoming entrance lobby, the sense of history and craftsmanship is unmistakable. A stained glass inner door opens into the hallway, where exposed floorboards set the tone for the warmth and character found throughout the home. The front lounge enjoys a striking box bay window that fills the room with light and highlights the original open fireplace, complete with a white marble hearth and surround. The dining room continues the period theme with a second fireplace and built-in storage, creating a charming and well-proportioned space. Beyond lies the bright and stylish kitchen, fitted with classic white shaker-style cabinetry, wood-effect worktops, and a tiled splashback. A window above the sink frames pleasant views of the rear garden, while a side door allows direct access outside.
Upstairs, the property offers three bedrooms arranged around a light and airy landing. The principal bedroom at the front features a generous box bay window and original fireplace. The two further bedrooms are beautifully proportioned, one with a garden outlook and the other with another character fireplace. The family bathroom is tastefully appointed with a panelled bath and shower over, complemented by a modern suite and elegant stone-effect tiling.

Garden & grounds The rear garden provides a delightful private retreat, thoughtfully arranged with a mix of paved and lawned areas. A path leads from the side access to a sheltered seating space, ideal for enjoying the garden's tranquillity.
The main section features a generous paved terrace and well-tended lawn bordered by established flowerbeds bursting with seasonal colour and mature shrubs. Towards the rear stands a substantial garden shed and a gate opening to the rear service lane. Framing this gateway is a beautiful arched rose bush, providing a charming and memorable flourish to this picturesque outdoor setting.
