Morwenstow

Morwenstow is a "splendid" Arts & Crafts house, creating a stark contrast with the 18th-century Georgian architecture of the adjacent crescent. Built in the early 20th century it was named by a nephew of the Reverend R.S. Hawker, who was the vicar of Morwenstow in Cornwall from 1834 to 1875. Often considered architecturally incongruous to the surrounding 1792-planned terrace. It was dubbed a "Monstrous Villa" by John Betjeman.

The property has a grand entrance hall and still retains many fine period features including fireplaces, lead glazing and wall paneling. All the rooms are light and spacious and filled with character.

As currently configured, there are a total of 13 offices, 2 staff kitchens, further utility and store rooms, 4 cloakrooms and gas fired central heating throughout.

Barnfield Crescent occupies a well-established position within Exeter's central business district fringe, immediately adjacent to Southernhay and within a short walk of the Prime Retail Core/High Street and the wider city centre amenity offer. The location benefits from strong occupier appeal, combining a professional setting with excellent day-to-day services including cafes, restaurants, banks and hotels in close proximity.

Connectivity is a key attribute: Exeter Central station is nearby, providing convenient regional links, with straightforward access to the principal road network via key arterial routes connecting to the A30/A38 and M5. The surrounding area is characterised by a mix of period and modern office accommodation, professional services occupiers and civic uses, making it well suited to office, consulting and client-facing businesses seeking a central Exeter address.
