Venn Ottery, Ottery St. Mary

This Grade II Listed building enjoys individual, charming and spacious accommodation situated in a very desirable hamlet in a beautiful country setting but with the convenience of major roads nearby allowing swift access to the Cathedral city of Exeter, M5 and the coast. The nearby village of Tipton St John has an outstanding Primary School, an award-winning pub/restaurant, a convenience store and a recreational park with tennis courts and a cricket pavilion.

Venn Ottery Barton has an interesting history, nestling in the East Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. It was originally a farmhouse (built around 1530) plus outbuildings and barn; it became a guest house in the 1960s, and then an hotel until around 2000. The building has evolved over recent decades to become a charming and inviting home.

At present the old building naturally forms 2 substantial dwellings, while the barn offers scope for further development.

The main/larger family home has 3 ground floor reception rooms including a large conservatory. The entry leads into a cosy sitting room with wood-burning stove, while on the right is the large formal drawing room with its beer-stone fireplace and another wood-burner.

The kitchen/breakfast room has been fully refurbished in recent years and is most definitely the heart of the home with plenty of room for family and friends to cook, dine and socialise together. There is a comprehensive range of quality cupboards and drawers with integrated appliances including a Rangemaster cooker and an additional solid fuel stove. The central island provides additional workspace - great for the keen cook - whilst extending to a breakfast bar. The kitchen leads into the dining room and onwards to the conservatory.

The first staircase leads to the upper floor where there are 6 bedrooms, 4 of which are en-suite, and with an additional bathroom.

The second dwelling/annexe is a refurbishment project, with a ground floor large reception room, kitchen/dining room, utility room, plus a shower-room. The second staircase leads up to 4 bedrooms, plus a shower-room.

The 2 storey barn has been used as workshop and storage for many years, but could be redeveloped as recreational space or further accommodation if required (subject to Listed Building and Planning consents).

This delightful property is approached via a substantial gravelled driveway with a parking area providing off-road space for several vehicles including room for boats, caravans, etc. The gardens and grounds are another appealing feature with a large expanse of lawn allowing plenty of room for children to run and play whilst interspersed with mature shrubs and trees. The kitchen/vegetable garden is well stocked, pleasing any keen gardener. The sun terrace and patios provide ample room to enjoy outdoor dining/entertaining in the summer months whilst enjoying an excellent degree of privacy and seclusion. The total plot extends to 0.843 acres.
