Buckerell Avenue, St Leonards, Exeter

Occupying a prime position within one of Exeter’s most prestigious residential streets, this elegant detached period home offers over 2,000 sq ft of beautifully proportioned accommodation, combining timeless character with generous modern family living.

Built in 1932, the property enjoys an exceptional balance of original architectural features and practical contemporary space. The current owners have significantly enhanced the property with a sizeable investment to add a substantial two – storey rear extension, which allowed the creation of a breakfast room downstairs and a larger bedroom with an additional full-sized en-suite bathroom upstairs.  Further investment enclosed the front porch, updated and expanded the original kitchen, reconfigured and updated the family bathroom, added a ground floor cloakroom, upgraded the consumer unit and replaced the boiler.

Set within a mature plot, the home is approached via a private driveway and further benefits from a garage and a remarkable rear garden that provides a wonderful sense of privacy and tranquillity.

The welcoming entrance porch leads into a spacious reception hall, setting the tone for the accommodation beyond. To the front of the property, a superb bay-fronted sitting room is filled with natural light and retains a wealth of character, including picture rails and an attractive fireplace surround. A separate dining room offers an ideal space for entertaining and enjoys direct access to the garden.

Undoubtedly the heart of the home is the impressive extended kitchen and breakfast room. Thoughtfully updated by the current owners, it has been designed to create a generous family living space and features an extensive range of fitted units, quartz work surfaces and ample room for dining and everyday family life. A practical utility area provides additional storage and direct access to the garden, whilst a useful ground floor cloakroom/WC adds further convenience.

The first floor offers four well-proportioned bedrooms. The principal bedroom benefits from a substantial en-suite bathroom room and delightful views over the rear garden, while two further double bedrooms include built-in storage. A versatile fourth bedroom provides flexible accommodation suitable for a child’s room, home office or guest space. A contemporary family bathroom, updated by the current owners, serves the remaining bedrooms.

Further benefits include an outside store, garage with power and lighting, additional off-road parking, a replacement boiler and the significant advantage of no onward chain.
