Property description
Shutes Mead is a row of mainly individual houses, built in 1907, and standing on the outskirts of this popular town but within level walking distance of most of the shops, amenities and our excellent schools. The A30 dual carriageway is within easy reach providing swift access to the Cathedral City of Exeter, M5 and the coast.
This is a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial semi-detached house with over a third of an acre whilst being in a convenient location. The property itself has been thoughtfully modernised in recent years and the well-proportioned, deceptively spacious accommodation briefly comprises: reception hall, sitting room, beautifully-appointed kitchen which is sensibly fitted with a range of cupboards and drawers and enhanced by solid timber worktops with space for modern appliances including a Rangemaster style cooker. The kitchen is partly open to a wonderful dining room with an attractive fireplace with inset multi-fuel woodburning stove creating a cosy environment for formal occasions. An office or family room with pleasant open outlooks concludes the ground floor.
On the first floor are three double bedrooms and a family bathroom which is fitted with a modern white suite. The current owners have invested in property improvements to create an economical home to run with quality double-glazed windows and a modern gas central heating system, along with Photovoltaic solar panel cells. Outside, to the front of the property is a substantial driveway providing off-road parking for several vehicles including boats, motorhomes, etc. whilst allowing access to the large garage and workshop creating under-cover parking for numerous vehicles with light and power and even a woodburning stove. The garage and workshop both benefit from large garage doors to the front and rear ensuring easy access to front and back. Adjoining the property is a useful gardener\‘s WC and a utility room. The gardens and grounds are a particular feature of this property extending to over a third of an acre being beautifully landscaped and bursting with a variety of specimen plants and trees creating a range of colour throughout the year with feature garden pond and a salt-water swimming pool (requiring minimal maintenance), an expanse of lawn, fruit and vegetable raised beds and even a small orchard. There is a large decking area providing plenty of room to enjoy outdoor dining/entertaining in the summer months.
AREA Ottery St Mary is one of the most pleasant and friendly small towns in East Devon with many amenities, shops, including Sainsbury\‘s, pubs, churches, very good schools, post office, banks, medical centre, local hospital, recreational activities, sports centre and bus services. Although surrounded by beautiful open countryside it is particularly accessible; 6 miles to the coast at Sidmouth, Exeter 10 miles (M5 junction) with the A30 dual carriageway giving swift access. Honiton is 6 miles with further shops, amenities and mainline station (Waterloo-Exeter).
