One of Exeter's most valuable historic buildings is unprepossessingly set on a main road leading out of town. From "Greater medieval houses of England and Wales, 1300-1500", by Anthony Emery: "Painstaking restoration between 1980 and 1997 not only reversed its swiftly deteriorating condition but retrieved most of the house's original late fifteenth-century character."
