Magdalen Road, Exeter

Description

Originally built as single houses, the site was acquired by St Margaret’s and converted into a school in the 1920s, which welcomed local pupils through its doors well into the 21st century.

St Margaret’s has now returned to its original use as Exeter-based developer, Grenadier, redevelops the Grade II and Grade II* listed buildings into energy efficient homes for the area.

The redevelopment celebrates, preserves and sensitively restores features reminiscent of the eras through which St Margaret’s has evolved: including the Georgian high ceilings with delicate coving, elegant staircases and marble fireplaces, as well as the Edwardian stained-glass windows and ornate Ironwork banisters.

Challenging the myth that historic listed buildings can’t compete with the efficiency of new-build homes, St Margaret’s Residences is leading by example having set a new benchmark for period homes by being the first set of historic buildings in the UK to reach Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) ‘A’

1 The School House is a truly unique two double bedroom ground floor apartment oozing luxury from the very first step. Sitting to the front of the property is a magnificent 24'X16' living room with two beautifully restored sash windows overlooking the pretty south facing terrace.

This grand Grade II Listed property has been carefully designed and specified to an exceptional standard to fit into the modern day of living with eco credentials including ground source heating, solar PV and allocated parking spaces with EV charging (EV point payable extra).
