House For Sale £450,000
<b>Description</b><br /><br />A very rare opportunity to purchase this wonderful landmark building, St Thomas of Canterbury Church. Listed as a ‘building of local importance' it was built in the 1930’s with the founding stone being cemented in place in December 1937 by Father Barnaby, which remains in place today. The current owner acquired the building after the church ceased activity in 2002 and sympathetically converted the church in 2008.
The Tower House as it is now known today is one half of this superb church conversion offering wonderful volume, proportions and light. Situated on the ground floor offering a wonderful entertaining space is the main reception area which incorporates the original Nave and Altar and with its domed ceiling makes for an excellent dining area. Off the main reception is a modern fitted kitchen with integrated appliances and granite work tops. Bedroom three/study is also located on the ground floor as well as a bathroom. Upstairs on the first floor is access to the bell tower which once climbed provides outstanding 360 degree views of the surrounding city and countryside. The main bedroom is of generous proportions with vaulted ceilings and an ensuite bathroom. Bedroom two is also a good size double bedroom. Outside there is off street parking at the rear and a lawned front garden with seating area.<br /><br /><b>Situation</b><br /><br />A suburb of Exeter to the west of the city centre, St Thomas has its own shopping centre with banks, pubs, a post office, doctors surgery and churches. A choice of schools with the West Exe Technology College also within walking distance and Sainsburys supermarket nearby. Access onto the A30, A38 and M5 is close by whilst a regular bus service travels into the city centre with its wide range of retail and leisure facilities, University of Exeter and Cathedral.<br /><br /><b>Directions</b><br /><br />From Exeter city centre proceed south via Western Way passing over Exe Bridges taking the second exit onto Cowick Street. Carry on to the end of the road. At the traffic lights go straight over into Dunsford Road where the property can be found on the right before the turning to Bowhay Lane.<br /><br />
