LOCATION
Lyndhurst Road is widely regarded as one of the premier residential addresses within the highly desirable conservation area of St Leonard’s - arguably Exeter’s most prestigious and sought-after suburb. Characterised by its quiet, tree-lined avenues and elegant architectural heritage of Georgian villas and Victorian and Edwardian townhouses, the location offers a tranquil residential enclave, yet remains within effortless reach of the vibrant city centre.

Only 0.3 miles away is the acclaimed Magdalen Road, celebrated for its vibrant village atmosphere and exceptional independent artisan traders, including an award-winning
butcher, fishmonger, boutique bakeries, a delicatessen, and a popular local inn. A nearby Waitrose supermarket further enhances day-to-day convenience.

Exeter’s thriving centre is 1 mile away, offering world-class retail therapy at the Princesshay shopping precinct and John Lewis, alongside a rich cultural tapestry featuring the Royal Albert Memorial Museum, a diverse culinary scene, and the magnificent 14th-century Cathedral, which overlooks the historic Cathedral Green. 4 Lyndhurst Road is also exceptionally well-placed for the Royal Devon & Exeter Hospital and the historic Exeter Quayside, the latter providing picturesque waterside walks, alfresco dining, and extensive leisure and water-sport activities.

The area is renowned for its choice of first-class educational facilities. Excellent state and independent schooling options are nearby, including St Leonard’s Primary School, Exeter School, and The Maynard School, as well as the highly regarded Exeter College. The city also hosts the prestigious University of Exeter, consistently ranked among the UK’s top academic institutions.

Sporting and recreational opportunities are unrivalled. The city boasts thriving theatres and cinemas, the Exeter Golf and Country Club, and the David Lloyd Club at Sandy Park – home to the Premiership rugby team, the Exeter Chiefs.

THE PROPERTY

The house is set back from the road behind a lawned front garden featuring a variety of ornamental shrubs and specimen trees, with a private driveway providing parking for at least two vehicles and giving access to the integral garage.

Inside, the spacious family accommodation is characterised by well-proportioned rooms with high ceilings, retaining an abundance of period architectural features including original working window shutters, period fireplaces, traditional picture rails, and decorative plaster cornicing. The front door opens into a delightful central entrance hall that sets the tone for things to come.
