Description
The Sanctuary is approached down a 200-yard-long private lane that ends about 40 yards from the cottage, with a parking area beside a 3-bay timber carport on one side. The cottage is partially hidden behind stands of mature, exotic flowering trees and shrubs including magnolia, camelia, rhododendron and azalea. These extend around in front of the cottage gradually merging into broadleaf woodland interspersed with grassy glades, a wild flower meadow and a mixed orchard. Behind the house is a good-sized paved terrace beside a recently built, self-contained guest cottage that incorporates a living room with integral kitchen and shower room. Behind and above the guest cottage are a timber-built summer house and a deck that look out across the grounds. Both buildings incorporate network cabling enabling them to be used as offices. On the eastern side of the cottage and about ten yards from it is a Skargards woodfired hot tub. The garden and grounds provide a delightful and totally private setting for the house but it is far from isolated with its nearest neighbour about 100 yards away behind a woodland screen. Despite its extent the garden and grounds are maintained with only one day of additional help per week.
The Sanctuary has a wonderful setting in a stretch of beautiful woodland inside the small village of West Hill. The village is a thriving community with a parish church, convenience store, hall and an excellent primary school. The nearby town of Ottery St. Mary caters for most day-today needs, whilst Exeter has an extensive range of shops, businesses and recreational facilities as one would expect from a cathedral and university city.
The property also has excellent transport links nearby. The A30 and M5 (Junction 29) are within easy reach and Exeter St. Davids station has a regular, fast service to both Waterloo (From 2 hours 3 minutes) and Bristol (From 57 minutes). For air travel, Exeter Airport offers connections to both national and international destinations including a regular service to London City Airport (1 hour).
There is also a wide choice of schools locally, both from the state and independent sectors including Colyton Grammar School in Colyton, The Maynard School and Exeter School in Exeter. There are student bus services to all of these schools from the village including The King's secondary school in Ottery St Mary
