Greg Crosse is marketing the property for Savills Exeter and commented: “Vespers is an exceptional four bedroom home within a prestigious Grade II listed development of just eight homes. The quality of the conversion is second to none, with the history and character of the original monastery beautifully retained. The stylish accommodation is light and bright, thanks to its south west facing position, and opens up to a wonderful private terrace for seamless indoor/outdoor living.

“The facilities on offer to residents are really impressive, particularly the pool complex situated within the original chapel, which is an outstanding space, plus residents also have access to the surrounding 80 acres of private estate grounds. All in all, this sale represents a unique lifestyle opportunity.”
