Canaan Way, Ottery St. Mary, Devon, EX11

THE SITE & SITUATION - EX11 1AQ

An opportunity to purchase this most attractive large, detached property situated in a quiet residential location within a short walk of the popular town of Ottery St Mary. The hotel, which is still trading, now has planning for change of use to a residential property and is suitable for uses such as a large home or multi-generational living, bed and breakfast or holiday lets. There is also the potential of conversion to two or more properties or possibly a public house with large beer garden and guest rooms (subject to planning). The older thatched part of the property is Grade II Listed (details held on file by agents).

This partially thatched property enjoys a secluded country aspect at the edge of the historic town and is set in approximately a third of an acre of beautifully landscaped gardens. It would be ideal as a large family home now that the property has change of use to residential, or it could possibly be split vertically into two houses, subject to the necessary planning permission. The current layout could be easily converted to offer spacious living accommodation, kitchen and dining room and large bedrooms with en-suite facilities whilst still retaining the modern annexe which has a separate front door.

OUTSIDE

To the front of the property is a gravel driveway with parking for over 25 vehicles. An attractive landscaped pathway leads to the front door and to the rear is a large terrace which overlooks a mature and impressive landscaped garden with well stocked flowering borders, sweeping lawns and further specimen plants and trees. There are a number of outbuildings currently being used as freezer and store rooms but could be used for a variety of needs.

The town centre with its many amenities is close by and can be accessed via a pleasant level stroll through The Land of Canaan town park.

METHOD OF SALE

Offers are invited in the region of £895,000 for the freehold property.
