Seller's Insight As a 17th-century period house, Bury Meadow Lodge carries significant history, and it has been a privilege to act as its custodian, restoring its character with care and attention over the past five years. Its most distinctive features, the Gothic bargeboards, required restoration and it was a joy to see the lodge come back to its former glory. Living here has been both an honour and a pleasure—stepping out the front door into the park, walking our dog, and experiencing the rhythm of life in this unique setting. Exeter, like many cities, continues to evolve, yet its wealth of history endures. To have been part of the story of this park and its lodge has been an incredible experience, one we will cherish forever. This is not simply a house; it is a living building with character and heart. Location Situated at the edge of Bury Meadow, a public park which lies between the University of Exeter’s Streatham campus and the city centre, the property enjoys a unique position within one of Exeter's most favoured residential areas. Exeter offers excellent rail and road links including the main line services to London (Paddington & Waterloo), the Midlands and the North of England.
