Property description
Strete Ralegh Gardens was originally the gardener's cottage for the nearby Strete Ralegh Manor House, skilfully altered and attached to a modern house extension (2003) to provide space for two families living side by side. However, a large family would make good use of the light and airy accommodation or to provide an income from holiday or long term letting. In all, a particularly flexible residence which must be seen to be appreciated, enjoying a rural location but by no means isolated.
The cottage part of the property has two bedrooms and a smart bathroom on the first floor with sitting room (wood burner) and adjoining kitchen/breakfast room (with cloakroom off). This then leads into a dining room with adjoining sun room/bedroom three.
The newer part of the property includes a lovely farmhouse style kitchen/dining room and light and bright adjoining conservatory overlooking the grounds. There are three bedrooms continuing on this ground floor level, one having an en-suite shower room. Stairs then rise from a hallway to the magnificent galleried sitting room with arched and Velux windows and French doors to a balcony, again overlooking the grounds and countryside beyond in a southerly direction. All the windows are pvc double glazed units, there is oil fired central heating with two boilers and the electricity is divided on to two separate meters. Adjoining the cottage is a useful garage and workshop.
The grounds are a lovely feature, mainly walled and full of a wide variety of shrubs, trees, plants and bulbs, all level with attractive lawns, secluded swimming pool (with a new liner), two sheds and a greenhouse. There is plenty of parking space and the total site area amounts to in excess of half an acre.
Whimple: The mainline railway station on the London Waterloo-Exeter line is within the nearby village, as are the doctor's surgery, post office, church, bus service, well respected local primary school and heritage centre. There is also a cricket field and two good family pubs. The old A30 runs close by which gives quick access to the A30 dual carriageway for easy journeys to Honiton, Exeter and the M5. Ottery St Mary is about 3 miles, Exeter 8 miles and the coast at Sidmouth is within a short drive.
DIRECTIONS From the Daisymount Roundabout on the new A30 from Exeter or Honiton, proceed a short distance along the Exmouth/West Hill road (B3180) turning first right signposted to Strete Ralegh. Continue for about a mile bearing hard right and then at the next left hand bend turn immediately right onto a private track marked 'no through road'. Strete Ralegh Gardens is a red brick house on the right hand side. Park on the gravel to the left hand side.
