Spacious 2nd Floor Double Room in a 6-Bedroom HMO

We have re-arranged this bed

A bright, generously sized top-floor double room is now available in a friendly, well-run co-living house on Blenheim Road, Alphington. Set right at the top of the house, the room has a quiet, private feel away from the busier parts of the home, with a characterful sloped eaves ceiling and a large skylight window that floods the space with natural light and gives lovely views of the sky. The bed sits with its side against the wall, which opens up the floor and leaves a genuinely usable, airy footprint plenty of room for the desk and chair already provided, making it well suited to anyone working or studying from home. The room is fully furnished and ready to move into.
An allocated off-street parking space is available as an optional extra at £50 per month, which is a real bonus in this part of Exeter where on-street space can be limited.

The house is set up for comfortable, low-hassle co-living. The top floor is shared with just one other room, so it stays calm and uncrowded, with a shared shower room directly adjacent to your room. It’s the kind of household where you can keep to yourself when you want to, or share a coffee in the kitchen when you don’t, and it suits anyone looking for a settled, well-maintained home.
