LOCATION
Nestled in the heart of East Devon’s rolling countryside, Ottery St. Mary is a charming and historic market town renowned for its strong sense of community, excellent local amenities, and picturesque surroundings.

Ottery St. Mary, often simply called "Ottery," boasts a storied past that stretches back to Saxon times. The town’s name derives from the River Otter, which runs through it, and the parish church dedicated to St. Mary. The church, one of the town's most prominent landmarks, is a stunning example of Gothic architecture, resembling a miniature version of Exeter Cathedral.

The town itself boasts a thriving town centre with a range of independent shops, cafés, and traditional pubs, as well as a popular monthly farmers’ market. Families are well served by highly regarded schools, including The King’s School.

The natural beauty surrounding Ottery St. Mary is one of its biggest draws. The East Devon National Landscape offers countless opportunities for outdoor activities. Walking, cycling, and horse riding are popular ways to explore the rolling hills, lush woodlands, and stunning coastline nearby. The town's parks and gardens are perfect for a leisurely afternoon. Cadhay, a historic manor house just outside Ottery, features beautiful gardens that are open to the public during the summer months.

The town is ideally situated for commuters, with good access to the A30, linking to Exeter, the M5, and Exeter International Airport. The nearby Jurassic Coast, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, offers stunning coastal walks and beaches as well as many other eateries.

THE PROPERTY
Ridgeway Cottage is a superbly enhanced detached property, thoughtfully extended to create a spacious and versatile family home. The interiors are light-filled and contemporary, with a seamless flow between living spaces that perfectly suit both everyday living and entertaining. A particular highlight is the stunning open-plan kitchen/dining room, which spans the rear of the house and opens directly onto the garden via two sets of bi-folding doors; perfect for indoor and outdoor living. The kitchen is fitted with an extensive range of shaker-style units, solid wood worktops, integrated appliances, and a Rangemaster gas/electric cooker. A separate utility room with matching cabinetry and a cloakroom adds further practicality.

The ground floor also features a charming sitting room with an original brick fireplace and wood-burning stove, leading into a bright and inviting snug. A study with views to the front provides an ideal space for home working if desired, or another reception room.

Upstairs, the first floor offers four generous double bedrooms, including one with an en suite shower room, and a stylish/modern family bathroom. The second floor is dedicated to a wonderful principal suite, complete with exposed beams, built-in storage, and a luxurious en suite bathroom featuring a freestanding bath and separate shower. From here, there are far-reaching views over the garden and surrounding countryside.

OUTSIDE
Despite its central location, Ridgeway Cottage enjoys a remarkable degree of privacy. The rear garden is a tranquil haven, predominantly laid to lawn and interspersed with mature trees, including an orchard with apple and pear trees. A large, paved terrace provides the perfect setting for al fresco dining, gatherings and everyday family life. To the front, a private driveway offers off-road parking for at least four vehicles.
