Situation - Oxton House is a striking Grade II Listed manor house, converted into elegant apartments in the 1980's. It stands in a most favoured private wooded valley circa 10 miles west of Exeter in the lee of the Haldon Hills. Oxton House dates back to Elizabethan times but was rebuilt in 1781 by Reverend, traveller and author John Swete who inherited a fortune from his godmother after he changed his name from John Tripe. Oxton is a popular hamlet due to the fact that it is on a 'no through' road and has a wooded approach with colourful rhododendrons and azaleas and the original estate white bridge over the river. It is approximately a 5 minute drive to the village of Kenton where there is a Post Office/stores, primary school, two village restaurants, pub and a community hall. 3 miles to the east is the prestigious Powderham Castle and Estate which offers local facilities such as a farm shop, restaurant and garden centre.
