This handsome Grade II listed Regency property dates from 1825 and features white rendered elevations, tall sash windows and original fireplaces. The building has recently been used as offices but is offered with granted planning permission for conversion into an impressive family home, with more than 3,000 square feet of accommodation spread across three levels.

The main entrance is at the side, with steps leading up to it and an inner porch opening into a reception hall area. There are three well-proportioned reception rooms, two of which have tall sash windows looking out to the front, with the third reception including French doors opening to the rear. There is also a kitchen, a cloakroom and two WCs. The current planning permission allows a large kitchen and breakfast area to be added to the rear of the house.

The lower ground floor has five rooms, which has planning permission to be converted into five separate reception rooms or combined to create larger, open plan living and entertaining spaces. There is a kitchen on this level, as well as a WC, offering the chance to convert into a self-contained living space or to create a utility space.

The top level provides another five rooms, a storage room and a further WC. These rooms would prove ideal for the granted conversion into four well-proportioned double bedrooms, two with en-suites and a family bathroom.

At the front of the building there is a crescent-shaped lawn, while the driveway provides access to the rear, where there is a parking area for up to eight vehicles and a garden with an area of lawn and various established shrubs and hedgerows. The rear garden offers the potential for further landscaping and a double garage. Opposite the house there is a private garden shared with the neighbouring properties, with a splendid lawn, bordered by established hedgerows.


Baring Crescent is set in a desirable position less than a mile from Exeter city centre and its historic cathedral. A wealth of shops, bars and restaurants are within easy reach, including the High Street and Princesshay, with its selection of well-known retail outlets, while there are also plenty of independent retailers and boutiques in the smaller streets off the High Street. The area has plenty of leisure and cultural activities to choose from including theatres, museums, galleries and cinemas. There are also tennis clubs, football, horse riding, sailing, hiking the Jurassic Coast, fishing and access to three sandy beaches within 15 miles of Exeter city centre.

Transport links are excellent, and Exeter's four mainline train stations are all within two miles from the property. Trains run regularly to the smaller nearby cities as well as Bristol, Plymouth and London Paddington. The A30 and M5 lead to the national motorway network providing convenient road links and Exeter International Airport is approximately five miles away.

The region is well served by good schools such as Exeter College and St Leonards C of E Primary School, both rated 'Outstanding' by Ofsted, as well as the independent Exeter Cathedral School and The Maynard School. The world-renowned University of Exeter is also just a mile from the property.

    Broadband availability and predicted speed

    Broadband speed is measured in megabits per second, with the number returned showing how fast the connection is. Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:

    Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
    Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
    Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s

    The data is updated three times a year. The checker results are predictions and should not be regarded as guaranteed. For more information, see: https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/about-checker#Answer_0_2

    Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength

    Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
    Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
    Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
    Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
