Cathedral Yard - Art Deco Luxury Apartment with Iconic Exeter Cathedral Views
Welcome to Cathedral Yard Luxe Residence, an Art Deco–inspired luxury apartment set above Exeter’s iconic Cathedral and historic High Street. Designed for discerning travellers seeking style, comfort and convenience, this exceptional two-bedroom home blends elegant interior design with breathtaking city-to-coast views. Whether you’re planning a romantic escape or an extended business stay, this exclusive residence offers an unforgettable experience in the heart of Exeter.
Situated on the 3rd floor with private lift access, the apartment showcases original period features—exposed timber beams, historic windows and double-height ceilings—juxtaposed with refined modern living. The spacious open-plan lounge and French-grey designer kitchen create a sophisticated setting for entertaining, complete with marble-quartz worktops, integrated wine cooler, induction hob, dual cookers, dishwasher and washer/dryer. Pendant lighting and LED dimmers add to the warm, luxurious ambience.
Both beautifully appointed bedrooms—one super-king (zip-and-link) and one king—feature luxe carpets, bespoke wardrobes and smart TVs. Each room is served by its own indulgent shower room, designed with marble tiling, premium ceramics, rainfall showers, underfloor heating and demist mirrors for a true spa-like experience.
Throughout the apartment you’ll find solid oak parquet flooring, smart-home heating controls, brassware finishes, satin chrome accessories and superior insulation for year-round comfort. A video entry system provides added peace of mind, while the building’s elegant communal areas—including dual chandeliers and curated artwork—enhance the sense of arrival.
Cathedral Yard is a Grade II listed development dating back over 200 years, professionally managed by Fresh Escapes. Guests enjoy exclusive use of the apartment, key-safe entry and access to the lift. Please note: no pets and no same-sex group bookings.
Step outside and Exeter’s most atmospheric district unfolds around you. The Cathedral Green, renowned Christmas Market, cobbled streets, independent boutiques, historic pubs and the city’s vibrant restaurant quarter are just moments away. With award-winning universities, cultural venues, galleries and excellent transport links, this unbeatable location places the best of Exeter at your doorstep.
Two National Parks, stunning coastlines and charming seaside towns such as Exmouth and Teignmouth are within easy reach, making this a superb base for both city exploration and Devon adventures.
