4 bed detached house for sale

St Leonards Lodge, Exeter EX2

Description

St Leonards Lodge is a prestigious and highly individual newly built home, thoughtfully designed to present a contemporary appearance while incorporating classic architectural influences of the 1930s. The exterior is fully rendered and complemented by double glazed windows, attractive galvanised steel guttering and downpipes, and a natural Brazilian slate roof.

This impressive residence offers spacious accommodation and has been constructed and finished to an exacting standard throughout. Internally, the property features a superb kitchen with granite work surfaces, high quality Kohler sanitary ware, and solid timber oak faced doors throughout.

Performance and energy efficiency have been central to the design, with a range of energy saving features incorporated into the electrical installation. These include LED lighting, low energy fittings, tado (the simplest energy saver, you can control/ turn off the heating from your smartphone while you're out) and internal pir sensors to the cloakroom and utility room, ensuring that lights switch off automatically shortly after the rooms become unoccupied. The house also benefits from an efficient Vaillant condensing boiler and a European underfloor heating system installed on the ground floor. Domestic hot water is supplied via a high performance pressurised cylinder.

The property is situated approximately one mile south of the city centre in Jennifer Close, a quiet residential address comprising a variety of 1930s houses and bungalows. Located on the western side of St Leonards, an area widely regarded as Exeter's premier residential neighbourhood, the setting offers both character and convenience. St Leonards is a thriving and well established community, home to some of the finest properties in Exeter. The area is particularly sought after due to its excellent amenities, including a selection of highly regarded independent schools and the charming local shops and cafes along Magdalen Road.
