West Hill, Ottery St Mary

This is a superb small gated community for the over 55's, designed by Blue Cedar to provide an extremely comfortable home with minimal property or garden maintenance. The location is convenient for the village amenities which include a convenience store/post office and an active Village Hall. The adjoining countryside provides an idyllic setting and a haven for local wildlife, whilst the A30 dual carriageway is also within easy reach allowing swift access to the Cathedral city of Exeter, M5, and the coast.

The property itself is in show home condition, enjoying light and airy, well proportioned accommodation with quality fixtures and fittings throughout. The reception hall creates a fine first impression with oak doors and flooring and under-floor heating that continues throughout all of the ground floor. The spacious dual aspect sitting room has a wonderful light and airy feel with double doors leading through to the dining room with French double glazed doors and a pleasant garden and country outlook. The kitchen is comprehensively equipped with an excellent range of quality cupboards and drawers at both base and eye level, whilst incorporating built-in appliances including an eye-level oven with microwave above, fridge/freezer, washer/dryer, and dishwasher. The cream fronted units are complemented by the attractive granite work surfaces which provide plenty of room for food preparation, and has an inset induction hob. An internal door from the kitchen also provides access into the large garage. The ground floor is concluded by a bedroom which provides a flexible arrangement for those that may experience mobility issues or simply prefer a ground floor bedroom particularly as the luxury ground floor shower room/w.c can be adapted to become an ensuite to the bedroom. Alternatively the room can be used as a office or study.

On the first floor are three further good size bedrooms including the master suite which is a wonderful room benefitting from a Juliet balcony with lovely views across the village towards Sidmouth gap. There is plenty of storage with a large built-in wardrobe running the full length of this spacious room and another superbly presented shower room providing a very comfortable en-suite. The family bathroom is also spacious and fitted with contemporary stylish fixtures and fittings. The house was built in recent years to a high specification with energy efficiency in mind, being thoroughly insulated, along with modern gas central heating. The ground floor and bathrooms have under floor heating and radiators provide heating for the other rooms.
