The Oaks is situated in a hamlet just a mile and a half from the centre of Ottery St Mary with a range of independent shops, supermarket and highly regarded schools. The A30 dual carriageway is also easily accessible providing swift access to the Cathedral city of Exeter, M5 and the coast. The Waterloo trainline is a short drive away with free parking and the surrounding countryside also offers excellent walking/horse-riding facilities.

The property itself was thoughtfully converted in the 1980s from a Victorian haybarn which formed part of Gosford Farm, now a family home.

The master bedroom is a particularly spacious dual-aspect room with fitted wardrobes. The large loft space also has huge potential to be converted into additional accommodation.The house benefits from double glazing, an air source heat pump and PV solar panels creating an efficient home to run.

This wonderful home is approached via double timber gates opening onto the substantial driveway allowing off-road parking for several vehicles including room for boats, caravans etc. Further double gates lead to the rear courtyard which has been beautifully landscaped with a variety of specimen plants and shrubs providing a range of colours and the paved patio areas allow plenty of room to enjoy outdoor dining/entertaining in the summer months in a superb degree of privacy and seclusion.

Two double timber gates lead to the barn with light and power, currently providing storage and a workshop area. The barn would lend itself for a variety of purposes including additional ancillary accommodation if ever required, subject to the necessary planning permissions/consents. The principal garden is delightful with a large expanse of lawn allowing plenty of room for children to run and play with deep, well-established flowerbeds that would please any keen gardeners.
