Wonford Street, Exeter

A very attractive Grade II Listed semi-detached period residence with impressive walled grounds extending to approximately one third of an acre. A stone pillared entrance with substantial timber gates give way to a gravelled drive which widens in front of the property to give excellent turning area and off road parking for several vehicles. Well established wisterias can be found along the front side boundary wall and outside rear entrance.
Historically, the property is half of what used to be a single rural dwelling called Vine Cottage which, over 200 years ago, was then located in an agricultural hamlet, South Wonford, just over a mile and a half by foot from the centre of Exeter. Records of the house, including maps, extend back to the early 19th century but it is thought to date back even further when Wonford Village was an important manor with his own Great House.
During the 19th and 20th centuries, extensions have been built on to the earlier core building to make it a large 4 bedroom house.
The impressive grounds have, at some point in history, been run as a market garden. In more recent times the gardens have been imaginatively designed, landscaped and cultivated to be highly productive while retaining a sizeable level lawn (approx. 14m x 13m).
