The Area
Positioned along the leafy banks of the River Exe, The Old Stables benefits from both a tranquil rural setting and proximity to Exeter’s city centre, a mere 10 minutes’ drive away, and the vibrant Exeter Quay a 20-minute walk through the Exe County Park.
Based around the 15th-century Exeter Cathedral, Exeter is a vibrant cultural centre, offering a fantastic selection of restaurants, independent shops, and cafes. Favourites include Stage, popular for its tasting menus inspired by seasonality; The Ivy, a go-to for British classic cuisine; and the family-run Harry’s Restaurant, a local institution. There is also a Vue cinema and Ramm Museum, home to a diverse collection spanning natural science, fine art and costume design. Exeter Golf and Country Club is a five-minute drive from the house, with tennis courts, an outdoor swimming pool, fitness facilities and a wellness spa.
The house is ideally placed to make the most of the region’s scenic landscapes, offering plenty of opportunities for walking, cycling and water sports. Dartmoor National Park and the Southwest Coast Path can be reached within a half hour’s drive, while the National Park of Exmoor and the north coast are around an hour’s drive away. Managed by the National Trust, the 18th-century Killerton Estate is also within easy reach, surrounded by acres of landscaped gardens and enchanting parkland.
The area offers brilliant private and state schools at all levels, including The Maynard School, Exeter School and Exeter College.
