Property description

Waxway is a rural hamlet on the Western slopes of East Hill, just a short distance from the town of Ottery St Mary, close to the village of Tipton St John and within easy reach of the coast at Sidmouth.



Waxworthy is a modern detached country house with spacious family sized accommodation including four bedrooms (one with en-suite facilities), together with two reception rooms, study, cloakroom and superb kitchen with adjoining utility. All windows are uPVC double glazed throughout with an oil fired central heating system. The bathrooms have recently been upgraded with stylish white suites and ceramic tiles.



This is a quiet location with some charming country outlooks and sweeping surrounding grounds, extremely well kept and very well stocked. Overlooking the grounds is an attractive paddock, fully enclosed with separate vehicular access and far reaching views over Ottery St Mary towards Dartmoor. Various outbuildings include a double garage, greenhouse and summerhouse.



This well-kept and attractively presented home will provide comfortable accommodation for either a family or retirement. Waxworthy has a south west aspect, and as well as enjoying a country position is by no means isolated being only 2 miles from Ottery St Mary with its many amenities and excellent local schools. Exeter and the M5 are about 13 miles away. The coast at Sidmouth is about 4 miles and the Waterloo train line can be found at nearby Honiton about 8 miles away. The property stands within the catchment area for the local Kings School for which the school bus passes at the end of the lane. It is also within reach of Colyton Grammar School. Exeter International Airport is about 20 minutes drive.



In all, a very well kept and versatile house within a beautiful area
