Walk Through

This recently refurbished three-bed semi-detached home is located in the lovely country town of Ottery St. Mary. Heading up the newly-laid, slate steps from the drive, the front door opens through a porch into an entrance hall. This hall is bright and modern and hosts stairs to the first floor (to the left), access to the living room and kitchen (to the right) with an additional utility cupboard with plumbing and electrics for a washing machine and tumble dryer (straight ahead). Within the hall, the left-hand wall in front of the stairs hosts a good-size storage cupboard, coat rack and further storage is available under the stairs.

Heading into the Living Room reveals a spacious room with lots of natural light coming from the front window and the glass paned double oak veneered doors which lead into the kitchen. The living room has space for a three and a two seater sofa and has the wiring in place for a wall mounted T.V. Double doors link the living room directly to the kitchen allowing the rooms to function in open-plan mode when hosting.

The kitchen is striking; recently-fitted to good spec, to the right are floor to ceiling storage cupboards, an integrated cooker and microwave and space for an American style fridge freezer. To the left, the kitchen features an induction hob with extractor hood, sink and ample high and low storage units and work-surfaces. A spacious breakfast bar/island with bar stools and storage underneath offers a place from which to keep the chef company as well as providing an additional work surface. The room is well lit with a double window above the sink and double doors that open out to the garden area.

Heading back to the hall, stairs lead to the first floor where a landing connects three double bedrooms, a family bathroom and a separate W/C. Like the kitchen, the family bathroom benefits from being recently fitted. It is modern with attractive porcelain tiles, a vanity unit and bath and with electric over-bath shower.
Outside, to the front of the property is a lawned area, a drive leading to a single garage and a larger front drive recently excavated by the current owners. A fenced entrance gate to the right of the garage provides side access to the house and the rear garden. The rear garden is paved, with gravel sections. It is fenced on all sides, and bordered by raised beds with some mature trees. There is potential to extend into the side garden subject to planning permission.

The property is on mains water, electricity and drainage. It has gas central heating and UPVC double glazing. The current owners have recently refurbished the property throughout (2022) upgrading the driveway, installing new radiators, windows and fully modernising the kitchen and bathroom. The rendering at the back of the property will be completed prior to completion. The garage has its own consumer unit with potential to create additional electrical points if desired.

Location

The property is situated in Ottery St Mary. Ottery is a picturesque market town nestled in the beautiful Otter valley. With great local amenities, including a good-sized Sainsburys, several independent shops, pubs, restaurants and coffee shops. It is home to its own leisure centre and primary school. The property is in the Ofsted outstanding-rated “The King’s School” (secondary school) catchment.

A historic Devonshire settlement (mentioned in the Domesday book!) the parish church of St Mary in the centre of the town was founded in the 1300s and designed to look like a smaller version of Exeter Cathedral. And, nearby this property the distinctive, circular “tumbling weir” is another striking piece of history (almost literally!) on your doorstep. Built in the 18th century to provide for water to power local mills, this circular weir is another striking feature of the town. Ottery is very much alive with a great deal of community activity and its own local customs (such as Ottery carnival, the (in)famous tar barrel rolling ... And Pixie Day!)

Ottery is ideally situated for rural life, country walks are available through the otter valley, and the sw coast at Sidmouth is 7 miles away. Despite its rural position, the A30 is 3 miles drive and provides direct links to Exeter (12 miles) and the M5 (9 miles) to the west and Honiton (c. 5 miles) and the A30/A303 link to London to the east. Feniton and Whimple (both c. 3 miles) provide train links to Exeter and London Waterloo and Exeter International Airport is an 8-mile drive and Bristol International Airport can be easily accessed via the M5.
