We bought Exeter Lodge when it was derelict and required renovating. The house was stripped literally just to its walls and some roof rafters. The walls varied in construction from bricks, to cob and Heavitree stone. The roof was tiled with slates, the floors were relayed, the electrics and plumbing redone, walls and ceilings re-plastered, fire places re-established and all re-decorated. All windows and doors were replaced, ensuring the character of the property was reinstated to the 19c. To add a modern touch, under floor heating was added which is run by a biomass boiler from the main house and solar panels heat the water. The lodge has its own bore hole, which provides crisp, filtered water.

When we bought Exeter Lodge we bought it with our hearts. The view and location won us over from day one, we knew we had to buy it! Once you have stayed you will be entranced by the peace and beauty of the area.

The lodge is nestled amongst historic woodland and boasts its own secret, stunning view over the rolling Devon countryside, out to the Exe Estuary and the sea beyond. It is a perfect place to recoup and relax but also to be able to explore the local countryside and the beautiful city of Exeter, which is only a few miles down the road.
