Longbrook Street

This is a substantial six-bedroom Victorian townhouse in a great location in the heart of the City centre and also convenient for the University of Exeter’s Streatham campus. The property is now in need of complete modernisation but represents a wonderful opportunity for a purchaser to ‘put their mark’ on a spacious and attractive property. Alternatively, a buyer may look towards sub-division or a variety of potential commercial uses. We understand that the current planning consent allows for Bed & Breakfast use, but that residential Council Tax has been paid since 1991. The accommodation includes a sitting room, dining room open to a kitchen/breakfast room, five/six bedrooms over the upper floors plus a bathroom and separate WC. To the rear is a courtyard garden and the rare advantage of two off road parking spaces.

The property enjoys a great location in the very heart of the Cathedral City of Exeter. The City centre and all it has to offer is only a stroll away and the John Lewis building is just across the road. The location is also within easy walking distance of the University of Exeter’s principal Streatham Campus. It is appropriate to note that the property lies within an Article 4 planning restricted area. Therefore, achieving a planning consent to form a House in Multiple Occupation (HMO) would not usually be possible.
