Found in a leafy suburb close to the university, this two-storey Exeter home is ideal for those looking for some peace and quiet. Thanks to the home's elevated position, you can see rolling hills in the distance from the window. Although the garden isn't suitable for alfresco dining, it's a nice spot to let the kids tire themselves out before bedtime. When it becomes time to head out, you'll find plenty of parks and the city centre nearby, and further afield several castles to explore. You'll also find several pubs within walking distance here.

Home truths
This home is spread over two floors, with all the bedrooms and bathrooms being on the first floor. If you're using public transport, you'll also need to walk up a slight incline for a few minutes to reach the home.
Your host provides a starter supply of basics such as hand soaps, toilet rolls, and salt and pepper, but you might want to bring your own to ensure you have exactly what you need – items like kitchen rolls and liquid hand soaps aren't included here.
The garden is lacking in furniture. It might not be suitable for eating outside.
Due to this home's location slightly outside the city centre, you may want to bring a car here. There’s free parking on the driveway.
There's a dedicated office space here if you need to work.

About Exeter
Exeter is centred on its pretty Cathedral Close, whose manicured lawns are surrounded by charming historic buildings. Cafes spill out onto the green under the steeple of the towering Anglican cathedral, and in December, the courtyard lights up with Christmas market stalls.
