Location
Originally built in the last 1700s, as Higher Barracks, Horseguards is a very popular development located a short walk into the centre of Exeter. The original buildings were designed for the expanding cavalry and were designed to house officers, men and around 200 horses. The site was surrounded by a high brick wall and in the centre was a green for parades and exercising horses which is now a delightful parkland for the residents of Horseguards to enjoy, with this particular property believed to have been a former stable and looking directly over the green. The cathedral city of Exeter is less than a mile from the property and provides shopping on the historic quayside with the nearby cities of Plymouth and Bristol offering more extensive choices. The area has plenty of leisure activities to choose from such as tennis clubs, a walking group, football, horse riding, sailing, hiking the Jurassic Coast, fishing as well as access to three sandy beaches within 15 miles of the property.
