situation & description

Flat 4 Hansdon Lodge is a very pleasant ground floor flat in an imposing grade II listed, house constructed in the 1840s and probably a former merchant’s house. Set well back from the main road, the well proportioned living room and large bedroom both have a southerly facing aspect and floor to ceiling Georgian sash windows and there is parking for one car at the front of the property. To the rear is an enclosed garden shared with the other flats. The well designed kitchen sits back from the living room through an archway and features a refrigerator/freezer and washing machine. Heating is Economy 7 electric and there are storage heaters in the living room and bedroom.

This will make a lovely home for a first time buyer or for an investor. Exeter is a university city and the Royal Devon & Exeter hospital is only a quarter of a mile away. Heavitree has a good range of local shops and facilities, nearly all of which within two hundred metres and regular bus services stop nearby.
