The neighbourhood of adaptation, inspiration and contemplation. Perched on the River Exe, the historic centre of Exeter was once described as the Jewel Of the West.

Its beauty was considered of such significance that it was targeted during the Blitz not as a military target but as a cultural one, the loss of which would irrevocably dent the spirit of the British people. Thankfully the place survived and fostered a new spirit of its own.

Today, Exeter’s motto, semper fidelis – always loyal – is an apt description of how people feel about our neighbourhood. This is a place that inspires deep devotion, its culture, architecture and outlook drawing in the curious and rewarding them with a place to call home, whether for a weekend or a lifetime.
