Bury Meadow Lodge and en-suite studio offer a rare opportunity in the heart of Exeter. The main property is a beautifully renovated, detached two bedroom home showcasing distinctive Victorian period features and character throughout, while the separate en-suite studio provides valuable additional and flexible accommodation. Ideally located on the edge of Bury Meadow Park in one of the city’s most sought after central locations, the property is perfectly suited to modern city living.

Built in the Tudor Gothic style, Bury Meadow Lodge dates from the 1850s. The property has retained a number of attractive character features including decorative bargeboards to all gables, stone mullioned glazing with diamond leaded panes and wooden flooring throughout.

A moulded stone-pointed arched doorway with plank and cover strip front door leads to a triple-aspect sitting room with a cast iron fireplace and a door that leads to the inter-connecting dining room and kitchen. The well-proportioned dining room has a bay window and a pointed arched opening to the kitchen. Stairs from the kitchen lead to the first floor which offers a spacious front aspect master bedroom, one further well-proportioned bedroom and a family bathroom with a walk in shower.

French doors from a private inner courtyard give access to a studio with an en suite shower room, suitable for a variety of uses.

The lodge has a drive, accessed via Woodbine Terrace, which provides private parking. The house has an inner private courtyard, as well as a low-maintenance paved garden, ideal for entertaining and al fresco dining, with views over Bury Meadow’s parkland.

Seller’s Insight

As a 17th-century period house, Bury Meadow Lodge carries significant history, and it has been a privilege to act as its custodian, restoring its character with care and attention over the past five years. Its most distinctive features, the Gothic bargeboards, required restoration and it was a joy to see the lodge come back to its former glory.

Living here has been both an honour and a pleasure—stepping out the front door into the park, walking our dog, and experiencing the rhythm of life in this unique setting.

Exeter, like many cities, continues to evolve, yet its wealth of history endures. To have been part of the story of this park and its lodge has been an incredible experience, one we will cherish forever. This is not simply a house; it is a living building with character and heart.
