Property description

Hawkins Lane is a quiet, mature and leafy part of this very popular and exclusive woodland village, nicely tucked away but within easy reach of the village centre, primary school and open countryside which surrounds West Hill.



Five Oaks is a mature detached bungalow built in the 1950's but attractively upgraded and refurbished in more recent years to provide a light and spacious comfortable family or retirement home. There are three bedrooms, a large sitting room, separate dining room, fitted kitchen with utility area together with an en-suite bathroom and separate shower room. There is gas fired central heating and an excellent conservatory which, together with the rest of the double glazed windows, enjoys an outlook over the particularly splendid surrounding grounds.



These are south facing to the rear and are a unique feature, being completely enclosed, level and secluded with lots of interesting landscaped areas with an extremely wide variety of interesting plants, shrubs and trees. There is plenty of parking space in front of the detached double garage. High timber double gates open onto Hawkins Lane.



In all, this is a very well kept and interesting property with possible scope for extension if required subject to any necessary planning consents.



West Hill is an appealing and individual village with a mini-supermarket at its heart, open long hours and including a post office. There is also a pretty church, modern primary school, village hall, garage and bus service. The town of Ottery St Mary is about 2 miles away with the well-known Kings School, medical centre and other shops/amenities. Exeter and the M5 (about 8 miles) is easily reached along the new A30 dual carriageway, Honiton with shops and station (Waterloo-Exeter) is about 8 miles and the coast at Sidmouth about 6 miles.
