Description
A two double bedroom apartment forming part of an impressive Grade II Listed country house, set within approximately 10.8 acres of communal grounds and enjoying access to excellent leisure facilities.
Situation - Cowley Place is situated to the north of Exeter, on the edge of the Mid Devon countryside, enjoying a semi-rural setting whilst being approximately three miles from Exeter city centre. Exeter, the regional capital of the South West, provides an extensive range of shopping, leisure and cultural amenities, together with a wide selection of restaurants, cafés and wine bars.
The property is well located for access to the M5 motorway at Exeter, providing links to the A30 and A38, as well as Bristol and London.

Description - Cowley Place is a handsome Grade II Listed residence dating from the late 18th century. Originally built as a private home, it later became the headquarters of a national bank before being converted into fourteen dwellings during the 1990s. No.11 forms part of a later 20th century wing of the building.
Accommodation - The apartment is accessed via its own private front door, opening into a central entrance hall which provides direct access to all principal rooms. The sitting room, positioned to the rear, is a generous space with windows and doors overlooking the communal grounds, and offers room for dining if desired. Adjacent is a separate kitchen/dining room, also a good size and well-proportioned. There are two double bedrooms. Bedroom 1 benefits from built-in storage and an en-suite bathroom room (currently converted into a walk-in shower), while Bedroom 2 is also a comfortable double. A further shower room is conveniently located off the hall.
The layout is both practical and adaptable, offering excellent scope to update and personalise to suit modern living requirements.
