Full Details for 3 Bedroom Cottage for sale in Ottery St. Mary, EX11 :
Higher Fluxton Cottage is situated in a pretty and rural area on the edge of the prestigious village of West Hill. Higher Metcombe is a small hamlet made up of individual properties all with mature surrounding gardens and grounds and is a wonderful peaceful location but is by no means isolated, being within easy reach of the village amenities including the highly regarded Primary School and convenience store with Post Office, etc.
The cottage itself is believed to date back to 1640 and has charming period features which include Inglenook fireplaces, exposed beams, and a particular mention is the spiral staircase which is said to originate from Manchester Palace Theatre leading famous actors to the main stage. This delightful, charming cottage enjoys well-proportioned accommodation briefly comprising; reception hall with ground floor bedroom or office, spacious split-level sitting room with feature fireplace and a good sized kitchen with oil-fired Aga; plenty of room for a breakfast table and chairs providing potential to be the heart of the home. There is a ground floor bathroom and the dining room, for formal occasions has an Inglenook fireplace and bread oven with an ornate spiral staircase leading to two double bedrooms on the first floor. All the principal rooms enjoy beautiful country views and although the property is perfectly habitable, some fixtures and fittings would benefit from updating. The property benefits from an oil-fired central heating system and pvc double glazing.
The property is approached by a five-bar timber gate leading onto a substantial driveway providing off-road parking for several vehicles and access to the detached double garage which was built in the 1970s. The immediate gardens and grounds have been well-maintained over the years and there is a range of deep, well-established flowerbeds boasting mature plants and shrubs and a large greenhouse which would please any keen gardener. A paved patio area provides plenty of room to enjoy outdoor dining/entertaining in this idyllic setting and there is a well which could be reinstated if ever desired. The garden adjoins the remaining land which extends to just over 10 acres in total and currently provides pasture land which would also lend itself for equestrian purposes, etc.
This is an extremely rare opportunity and must be viewed to fully appreciate the potential on offer.
AREA West Hill is an appealing and individual village with a mini-supermarket at its heart which is open long hours and includes a post office. There is also a pretty church, high achieving modern primary school, village hall, garage, hairdresser, dentist and bus services. The town of Ottery St Mary is about 2 miles away with the well-known Kings School, medical centre, Sainsbury\‘s supermarket and other shops/amenities. Exeter and the M5 (about 8 miles) is easily reached along the A30 dual carriageway. Honiton with station (Waterloo-Exeter) is about 8 miles and the coast at Sidmouth about 6 miles.
