Salston Ride, Salston, Ottery St. Mary, Devon

THE PROPERTY.
Monans Rill comprises a very spacious detached bungalow which is located in a glorious position on the outskirts of the popular town of Ottery St Mary. It is surrounded by some of the county’s most picturesque countryside over which it has superb views and is conveniently placed within a mile of the town, as well as being within a short drive of the highly desirable villages of West Hill and Tipton St John. Salston Ride is an exclusive and leafy cul de sac of individual properties and Monans Rill sits in beautifully established gardens which are bordered by the rill to the north, creating an exceptionally picturesque setting.

The property itself was built in the 1960s and offers very spacious accommodation which is particularly light having large windows, all of which take in the glorious views. Worthy of particular mention is the superb 27’ triple aspect sitting room which features a stone fireplace with wood burner and built in bookshelves, and this room opens into an study/library with a patio door to the gardens. Monans Rill has been the subject of a considerable amount of work in recent years which has included upgrading the wiring, installing a new boiler, insulating the roof and adding a wet room, as well as general redecoration.

GARDENS & GROUNDS.
Undoubtedly one of Monanas Rill’s main features is its stunning garden which is beautifully established and profusely stocked. The bungalow sits well off the lane and has a large garden to the front with lawns being interspersed with well–stocked beds which provide privacy and a great deal of colour and interest. The driveway offers ample parking and gives access to the attached garaging, whilst to the other corner of the plot is a magnificent beech tree.

To the rear is a charming garden which is bordered by the rill, beyond which is open farmland providing the perfect backdrop. It has been planted with a mass of shrubs and spring bulbs, with several specimen trees and a wisteria clad pergola. The timber and shingle roofed summerhouse has delightful views over the gardens and to the side of the property is a productive kitchen garden with raised beds and a greenhouse. The property also benefits from direct access onto the footpath which runs through the open fields to the rear.
