Property information

Freehold

Location:

The Parish of St Leonards is a most favoured residential area in the City of Exeter. It is within walking distance of the City Centre and it has its own range of local shops on Magdalen Road. There is an active Church; good state and private schools; and recreational activities including the Victoria Park Tennis Club.

Apart from being a nice place to live, St Leonards is also within walking distance of the main hospitals, County Hall, the Education Department of Exeter University and the Penisular Medical School.

Equally important, from the point of view of the existing use as a preparatory school, is the close proximity of some of Exeter's well regarded private schools, including The Maynard School, St Margarets School and Exeter School.

Exeter is Devon's ancient Cathedral City. It is a busy retail and commercial centre, with a population of over 100,000, although the catchment area is substantially larger. Exeter is also a popular tourist destination and University City, all within a short walking distance of picturesque open countryside, the Dartmoor National Park, an attractive coastline and pretty seaside town and villages.
