5 bedroom detached house for sale

A lovely detached 5 bedroom home with flexible adaptable accommodation arranged over 3 floors

Situation - Argyll Road is in an elevated position in Pennsylvania bordering and overlooking the beautiful Duryard Valley and close to the University. This area was once the hunting land of Anglo Saxon kings and was in the manor of Duryard. The name comes from the Anglo Saxon dear (deer) and geard (fold). It stretched from the river on the west to Stoke Hill on the east and Stoke Woods to the north. Duryard Valley Park is one of Exeters green spaces - much is privately owned but the Belvidere Meadows Local Nature Reserve is open to the public, and the private roads are open for walkers. Exeter's city centre boasts a wide range of sporting and leisure facilities, excellent dining, shopping, museum, theatre and sporting and recreational pursuits. The property is ideally situated for both local and public schooling. The Royal Devon & Exeter and Nuffield Hospitals are situated nearby. Exeter has two mainline railway stations to Paddington and Waterloo.
