Nestled in a sought-after location just 3 miles from Exeter City Centre, Cowley Place is a handsome Grade II listed residence dating from the late 18th century. Originally built as a private residence for William Jackson, it became the headquarters for a national bank before being divided into fourteen dwellings in the 1990s.
No. 10 Cowley Place is a spacious ground floor two-bedroom apartment located in part of the 20th century wing and has been beautifully refurbished by its present owners.
Approached through a separate communal hallway, the property has many features reflecting the character of the main house, including ornate ceiling cornicing, dado and picture rails.
The accommodation comprises an entrance hall with built-in storage. There is a spacious sitting room that has glazed doors and sash windows overlooking the gardens.
The kitchen has plenty of matching units, plus integrated appliances and ample space for a dining table, and there are two double bedrooms. The principal suite includes an en-suite bathroom, while the good-sized second bedroom is served by a separate shower room.
The leasehold apartment also has a single garage, an allocated parking space, and there is further visitor parking.
Available exclusively for the private use of Cowley Place residents, the communal grounds stretch to 10.8 acres and are a beautiful feature offering wonderful walks as well as fishing rights on both the Exe and the Creedy rivers.
In addition to the grounds, the apartment has use of the communal indoor heated swimming pool, a games room and even a tennis court.
