Gosford, Ottery St Mary

This elegant Grade II listed Georgian residence with detached annexe occupies a plot of just over five acres in the small hamlet of Gosford, on the outskirts of Ottery St Mary.

The origins of the three storey house named Gosford Pines date back to the late 18th century with much of its character and charm still on show today including picture rails, window seats and typically high ceilings, all spread over 5,000 square feet of versatile accommodation surrounded by wonderful countryside and yet within easy reach of both Honiton and Ottery St. Mary.

On the ground floor are two large reception rooms, a spacious dining room and the sitting room which benefits from an open fireplace providing a pleasant focal point. Both rooms feature large bay windows and enjoy a superb aspect of the landscaped gardens. The traditional kitchen/breakfast room is fitted with a range of wooden storage cupboards and drawers, a central Aga and ample space for a large dining table, whilst the pantry and utility/laundry room provide further space for storage and appliances. The ground floor is concluded by a good sized study and cloakroom on the ground floor.

On the first floor, a light and airy landing leads to five double bedrooms and a single which could also be used as a dressing room. The principal bedroom has an ensuite bathroom with a corner bath and a separate shower. A further bedroom has an ensuite bathroom, while another has access to a Jack and Jill shower room. The floor is completed by the large family bathroom.
The attic space on the second floor could be used for storage but alternatively provides ample space and potential for further accommodation.

To the outside, a gravel driveway leads to the house and annexe and provides plenty of parking and access to the integrated double garage. Adjoining the garage is a boiler room with substantial storage and workshop space. The stunning grounds surrounding the property measure around five acres. There is a beautifully presented, landscaped formal garden, pretty terraced areas, far-reaching lawns, a stunning ornamental pond, a tennis court, a wealth of mature trees and an area of woodland which was planted by the current owners at the start of their ownership.

A detached annexe sits within the grounds and would be perfect for multi-generational living or for use as a source of potential income, subject to consents. This annexe currently has a large games room, a spacious living room with a mezzanine floor, a kitchen, one bedroom and a bathroom.

Ottery St Mary has a wide range of shopping facilities, including Sainsbury's, and the renowned The Kings School together with a sought after primary school. Nearby is the popular Otter Garden Centre and Escot Park is within easy access. Exeter is an easy commute to the west and offers a wide range of facilities, rail links on the Paddington and Waterloo lines, access to the M5 at Junction 30 and Exeter International Airport.

Directions - From Ottery St Mary head towards Alfington. Take the first left into Gosford Road and follow it until you reach a small crossroads with Gosford Lane to your left. Turn right down the farm track and Gosford Pines is in front of you.
