One of Exeter's most desirable apartments is set to be created above the trees of Southernhay.
A Westcountry couple have bought BOTH penthouse apartments in the luxury Trinity Court development in the prime location of bustling Southernhay.
The buyers now intend to convert the top floor into a single luxury penthouse apartment with stunning 360-degree views of the city, a private roof garden and underground parking.
The buyers are said to be "an active, high-profile couple with numerous business interests in the area.
Looking ahead to their retirement, they sought a spacious property close to city centre amenities.
Steve Russell, managing director, Devonshire Homes, which sold the property, said: "This is great news for Exeter. It proves that there is real demand for sophisticated, luxury living at the heart of the city. Trinity Court is leading the way, and this spectacular penthouse apartment will be the crowning glory."
Trinity Court, a former office building is being converted into 25 stylish apartments by Devonshire Homes. The apartments feature Duravit bathrooms and ensuites and a range of fitted kitchens stocked with Siemens appliances.
Nigel Bishop of property search agents Recoco, a specialist in finding high-end homes for private individuals, brokered the sale.
Mr Bishop said: "I'm excited to be involved in this purchase, which sets a new precedent for Exeter. A development like this will really put Exeter on the map as a rapidly growing, increasingly affluent city."
The views from the penthouse will take in Exeter Cathedral, the Exeter Law Courts, as well as the surrounding countryside.
