Ottery St. Mary

This deceptively spacious detached family home is situated on the southern outskirts of the town enjoying the convenience of the range of independent shops, supermarket and excellent amenities, whilst being a few steps away from the glorious East Devon countryside. The property is also within walking distance of the excellent primary school and within both the renowned Kings School and Colyton Grammar catchment areas. The A30 dual carriageway is also within easy reach providing swift access to the Cathedral city of Exeter, M5 and the coast.

The property itself dates back to the 1960s and has been significantly extended over the years creating a substantial and highly versatile home and would lend itself to provide independent accommodation for large families etc. The property is a prime example of 'never judge a book by its cover' as first impressions from the outside would indicate a modern home yet the current owner has created the feel of a more historic home with exposed beams and unique features creating a unique and wonderful characterful home.

The deceptively spacious accommodation briefly comprises; entrance porch and open plan reception hall with wood burning stove and an impressive kitchen/dining room with snug areas which is definitely the heart of the home providing plenty of room for families to cook, dine and socialise together. The kitchen area is fitted with a range of bespoke handmade solid timber cupboards and drawers both at base and eye level whilst integrating modern appliances including a five-ring gas hob, two built in ovens and space for further appliances. This superb room also allows room for a large family table and chairs and is open plan to the conservatory with pleasant front garden outlooks. A utility room offers additional storage and appliance space, whilst the sitting room is another impressive room with vaulted ceiling, exposed beams and feature arch window creating a grand feel whilst the feature fireplace with wood burning stove creates a cosy atmosphere on a winters evening.

There are six good size bedrooms, two benefitting from en-suite facilities, and a family bathroom. The existing layout would lend itself to separate living and bedroom areas creating annexe etc for independent family members. The property also benefits from double glazing and a modern gas central heating system.

The property is approached via a five-bar timber gate which opens onto a substantial driveway that provides off road parking for several vehicles including boats, caravans etc. The integral double garage with light and power would also lend itself to be converted into additional accommodation if ever required. The front garden is predominantly laid to lawn with bordering flowerbeds enjoying a good degree of privacy and seclusion with a westerly aspect taking advantage of the afternoon sun. The rear garden is also well screened by fencing and mature shrubs and trees, again creating a wonderful degree of seclusion and privacy with a large paved patio area allowing room to enjoy outdoor dining/entertaining in the summer months.

Ottery St Mary is one of the most pleasant and friendly small towns in East Devon with many amenities, shops, including Sainsbury's, pubs, churches, very good schools, post office, banks, medical centre, local hospital, recreational activities, sports centre and bus services. Although surrounded by beautiful open countryside it is particularly accessible; 6 miles to the coast at Sidmouth, Exeter 10 miles (M5 junction) with the A30 dual carriageway giving swift access. Honiton is 6 miles with further shops, amenities and mainline station (Waterloo-Exeter).
