4 Cowley Place is a well-presented two-bedroom apartment, set on the first floor of a sought-after Grade II listed property in Cowley, just to the north of Exeter and within easy reach of the city centre and local connections. The house itself dates from the late 18th century featuring highly attractive cream rendered elevations outside and a double-fronted façade. Originally built as a private residence, there is documented history of the main house and evidence of it being frequented by acclaimed artists Gainsborough and Francis Towne. It went on to become the regional headquarters for a national bank and the building was extended with the entire property divided into 14 apartments in the 1990’s, 6 being in the original house. The country house's exterior is due to be repainted within the next 2 years.

The spacious sitting room features an open fireplace and a tall sash bay window that has a south-facing aspect providing a wealth of natural light and wonderful views. The kitchen is well equipped, with wooden fitted units to base and wall level, a breakfast bar, an integrated fridge/ freezer, plus space for all the necessary appliances. The accommodation offers two double bedrooms with the principal bedroom benefitting from a dual aspect. The second bedroom is currently used as a dining room. The accommodation is completed by a bathroom with a separate bath and shower unit.
