House For Sale £950,000
Powderham Crescent, Exeter, EX4

Built in the early 1880s on land that was previously part of the Pennsylvania Park Estate, No. 13 Powderham Crescent is a gorgeous example of a late-Victorian, terraced townhouse. It is constructed of distinctive, sand-coloured brick with mellow red brick detailing above sash windows and has a fine, lead-roofed bay window at the front.

The house is positioned in the centre of the northern side of the crescent with its front facing south and looking out on an attractive, elliptically shaped communal garden that can by
used by the residents.

The accommodation is set out on three floors with a suite of cellars beneath and has undergone a recent and extensive programme of refurbishment and today is beautifully presented. Internally the layout and dimensions are typical
of a townhouse of this type and age.

All the rooms have good ceiling height, are generously sized and when combined with tall, south-facing sash windows
give the interior a wonderfully light and airy feeling.

Although the house is unlisted it has retained many of its original and distinctive architectural fittings including fireplaces, picture rails, a fine staircase, built-in cupboards,
timber floors and a handsome archway in the principal bedroom.

The ground floor has two conjoined reception rooms and a gorgeous kitchen/breakfast room at the back of the house, which is conjoined with the adjacent breakfast room and has bi-fold doors looking out onto the terrace.

It has a timber flooring throughout and is fitted with contemporary-style units including a central island with a timber work surface and a gas/electric range cooker.

On the first floor the principal bedroom and a further double bedroom share a bathroom and at the rear of the house overlooking the garden is a small infant/toddler's bedroom, which currently serves as a study.

The top floor accommodates two further double bedrooms and a shared shower room.

No.13 Powderham Crescent is set back from the pavement behind a good sized front garden that has a paved path to the front door and is bounded by painted brick and stone dwarf walling topped by wrought iron railings, with gate piers and a wrought iron gate.

The property has a generous back garden bounded by brick walling, which where necessary is topped by close boarded timber fencing to provide privacy.

Running alongside the single storey kitchen extension is a paved terrace with direct access to the adjacent kitchen and in fine weather the bi-fold doors in the kitchen can be
folded back to create a wonderful space for entertaining. A gravel path leads from the terrace down one side of the garden, with a level lawn beside it.

At the far end of the garden is a pedestrian gate opening to the paved service road running behind the crescent. Next to it is a brick-built, single garage with a metal up and over door.

13 Powderham Crescent is situated in a south-facing position on the north side of the crescent, just off Pennsylvania Road and near to Exeter university campus and the city centre.

There is a Co-op convenience store 100 yards away on Pennsylvania Avenue along with a selection of independent
shops at the top of Longbrook Street, whilst the city centre, Cathedral Yard, John Lewis and Princesshay shopping centre, with its many shops and restaurants are also close at hand.

Exeter Squash Club, Cricket Club and University Sports Park with outdoor swimming pool are all within walking
distance.

There is a wide choice of local schools both from the independent and state sectors including Exeter School, Maynard's and the Cathedral School. Blundell's School in Tiverton offers a daily bus service from Exeter.

The M5 motorway network, providing links to London and The Midlands is to the east of the city, as is Exeter International Airport. Exeter has two railway stations, with Exeter St David's offering regular services to Paddington
(2 hours 7 minutes), and Exeter Central to Waterloo (3 hours 17 minutes).
