Insights on the final homes at Eldin House, Rolle Gardens…
With only a limited number of homes now remaining at Rolle Gardens, Exmouth, we caught up with our Sales Advisor, Stephen, to share his insider perspective on what makes these final homes so special, his favourite features, and why now is a great time to make the move to Exmouth.
1) Now that Rolle Gardens is an established community, what stands out most about the development?
A strong community spirit has quickly established itself in a short time. Some of the new homeowners have moved from within the local area and others have come from further afield, but lots of new friendships have already been forged.
Rolle Gardens is a peaceful haven that incorporates original stone, brick walls and impressive specimen trees. Eldin House, which is the final phase of the re-development of the old Rolle College site, has become a beautiful focal point within the community.
2) What makes the final homes at Eldin House particularly special?
We have a variety of architectural styles here, blending contemporary architecture with historic character. The apartments in Eldin House combine modern living with sympathetically retained Victorian features, which makes them quite unique compared to typical new build apartments.
3) Are there any remaining homes you would particularly recommend buyers take a look at?
Number 30 is a spacious three-bedroom ground floor apartment within Eldin House it benefits from its own separate entrance, outside space and allocated parking. Picture rails, sash windows, traditional style radiators and a level access wet room/ensuite make this property unique and future-proof.
4) What are some of the key benefits buyers should consider with these homes?
A major benefit is the energy efficiency. There has been a lot of clever design to enhance the fabric of the building and ensure the apartments are efficient to run. This means homes stay warm while helping to reduce running costs compared to an older property.
They’re also low maintenance, which is a big advantage for buyers who want the character of a period building but without the upkeep that often comes with it. Theres a 10-year build warranty and a management company to ensure the property’s legacy is preserved so you can spend less time on upkeep, more time by the coast!
5) Are there any standout features or hidden gems buyers should look out for when they visit?
Our two-bedroom Show Apartment contains a wealth of Gothic features including highly ornate architraves, decorated doors and a beautiful fireplace. The ensuite off the main bedroom benefits from Jack and Jill sinks, and the second bedroom and bathroom are tucked away behind a separate door off the hall, making this an ideal space for guests.
We should also not forget that the upper apartments are accessed via an original tiled hallway and an striking Victorian staircase, which really adds to the sense of character and arrival.
6) What lifestyle benefits do buyers get from living here?
Exmouth’s expansive beach, restaurants and Pavilion are a short walk away, as is the town centre. There is also bus stops close to the development, and Exmouth train station provides links to Exeter and beyond, making it a well-connected place to live. Recently named one of The Times’ Best Places to Live, is perfectly positioned between the stunning Jurassic Coast and the wildlife-rich Exe Estuary. It offers everything you need day-to-day while still keeping that welcoming community feel – making it the perfect place to enjoy life at your own pace.
7) What advice would you give to someone considering one of the final homes?
