Property description
An individual and superbly presented detached house set in approximately 1.3 acres of grounds and positioned in a lovely rural situation.
Waxworthy is situated in a 'tucked away', rural position on the lower slopes of East Hill, forming part of the Otter Valley. This part of East Devon is particularly attractive and renowned for having many beautiful walks and rides nearby, many of which are through areas of outstanding natural beauty. The property is well placed within commuting distance of the Cathedral City of Exeter, the M5 motorway, Exeter International Airport and Honiton, with its mainline Railway to Waterloo. Within just a short distance is the town of Ottery St Mary and the popular coastal resort of Sidmouth.
This modern detached country house offers superbly presented accommodation spread over two floors and includes four bedrooms and two bathrooms (one en-suite), together with two reception rooms, a study, a cloakroom, an attractively fitted kitchen and an adjoining utility room. A particular feature is the living room, which is triple aspect with wide sliding patio doors to one end, which take full advantage of the superb views over the grounds and towards East Hill. The house also benefits from having uPVC double glazed windows and oil fired central heating is installed. In recent years both the kitchen and bathrooms have been upgraded with quality fitments, the kitchen having integrated appliances and the bathrooms being fitted with white suites and ceramic tiles.
The house and gardens enjoy stunning views over the surrounding countryside. Overlooking the gardens is an attractive paddock, which is fully enclosed and has separate vehicle access and far reaching views over Ottery St Mary towards Dartmoor.
The property also includes a double garage and an adjoining driveway providing ample parking and turning.
