Recently renovated Grade II listed property that has undergone a complete overhaul. This home has been decorated with a modern, yet sympathetic finish, complimenting the beautiful character features. You'll be on the 3rd floor, providing privacy and plenty of light. We have kept a neutral palette throughout, but added hints of colour to provide a warm and welcoming space for our guests. Please see below note on the location.
The apartment comprises a well-equipped kitchen, a dining table snuggled into the corner of the living space that seats 4, and a very comfortable sofa that doubles up as an additional bed. There is a beautiful decorative fireplace with original tiles taking pride of place at the front of the lounge area and this is surrounded by ceiling height shelving that really emphasises the lofty, spacious feeling in the home. The bathroom room has a brand new shower with a beautifully tiled cubicle and the bedroom has a double bed, with window seats and some hanging space for clothing.
This is a space where Charles Dickens once stayed, as commemorated via the blue plaque at the front of the building, and as such is very old. There are some quirks such as very slightly sloping floors, but we feel this adds to the charm of the place and hope you do too.
The home is situated on a bustling, city-centre street, which is part of its appeal, being right in the heart of the action. Please be aware you may experience some street noise at night, particularly at the weekend. Please read the reviews to get the opinions of previous guests prior to making your booking. We are unable to take responsibility for any noise that is created externally to the home.

You are in the heart of Exeter on a bustling central street, abundant with independent shops, cafes and eateries. However, being on the 3rd floor, you have enough distance to allow for a restful night's sleep. The area is very popular with locals and many of the shops have their regulars, providing a very welcoming atmosphere. The apartment is also a short distance from the Quay where there are plenty of water activities and quirky shops to mosey around.
Enjoy the collection of Charles Dickens books on the bookshelves. However please handle with care as they are very old and delicate!
The bedding and towels for the sofa bed is stored in the chaise section of the sofa.
