Property description
Pitt Lodge is a detached barn conversion of quality situated on the outskirts of the town surrounded by glorious East Devon countryside. There are excellent amenities a short drive away in the traditional market town of Ottery St Mary with a variety of individual shops, major supermarket and is also home to the renowned Kings School. The East Devon countryside provides an idyllic setting for this attractive residence of space and character.
The property itself is tastefully decorated throughout in light neutral colours and has charming and extremely versatile accommodation with the potential to provide a comfortable home for two generations of the same family.
The property has many original features, creating the character of a period home, whilst being complimented by quality fixtures and fittings. The versatile and well proportioned accommodation briefly comprises; reception hall with feature exposed rustic brickwork and a solid oak staircase creating a splendid first impression. The formal dining room has a large opening leading through to a dual aspect sitting room with feature fireplace with multi fuel/wood burning stove, exposed beams and feature arched display niches. There is a snug/study with French doors giving direct access to a very pretty courtyard garden. The breakfast/family room is another spacious characterful room and is open plan to the well appointed kitchen which is fitted with an extensive range of timber effect cupboards and drawers with Rangemaster style cooker, plenty of worksurfaces and attractive tiled splashbacks. This is a lovely room for families to cook, dine and socialise together,
There is a large utility room and ground floor shower room which would lend itself to be part of a self-contained annexe for an independent relative if ever required with a secondary staircase leading to the potential annexe. This versatile room could also be a games room/office etc.
On the first floor of the principle accommodation there are four good sized bedrooms, two benefitting from an en-suite facility and a family bathroom. All rooms enjoy beautiful views across the gardens and grounds towards the surrounding countryside. The property benefits from a modern oil fired central heating system and double glazed windows.
In all, a rare opportunity that must be viewed to appreciate this idyllic setting and highly accessible part of East Devon.
The property is approached via a five bar timber gate leading to a substantial driveway providing off road parking for several vehicles and there is a detached double garage (21' x 20'8") with light and power.
The gardens and grounds are another appealing feature, being beautifully landscaped and maintained to please any keen gardener. There is a large expanse of lawn bordered by deep, well established flowerbeds bursting with a variety of specimen plants, shrubs and trees, creating a range of colour throughout the year, The gardens enjoy an excellent degree of privacy and a paved patio provides plenty of room to enjoy outdoor dining/entertaining whilst enjoying this idyllic setting.
The principle garden enjoys a southerly aspect taking full advantage of the sun throughout the day. The paddock has been rented to a local farmer for many years, creating a minimum amount of maintenance and we understand this could be continued if desired. The paddock has direct access from the road and can also be accessed through a gate in the garden.
The gardens and ground extend to approximately 2.3 acres and is surrounded by open countryside.
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).
