Exeter Twist

Exeter Twist: Devon

This Grade II listed home is as contemporary as it gets whilst remaining true to its heritage. Once visited by Charles Dickens himself, you’ll find this storied apartment a perfect base when visiting the capital of Devon. We love how the design merges character features with modern comforts – there’s plenty of space to unwind with a book, catch up on emails and prepare intimate dinners. Though you’ll need to climb a few flights of stairs to reach this apartment, it’s well worth the effort. Situated in the heart of the city, you’ll have a selection of wine bars, waterfront pubs and the Gothic Exeter Cathedral at your fingertips.

Home truths:
*You'll need to climb the stairs to access this third-floor apartment – it may not be suitable for those with limited mobility
*The period windows throughout the property are original, so they require a delicate touch – though they are due to be renovated soon, please be careful when opening them in the meantime
*The communal area is being redecorated in the Autumn – there may be workmen accessing this space during your stay, but they will not have access to the apartment
*The building's exterior is currently undergoing renovation works – though there is scaffolding, this does not block light
*Your host hopes you enjoy the vintage collection of Charles Dickens books on the bookshelves – please handle them with care
