A Charming Country House With Five Bedrooms, A Two Bedroom Detached Annexe And Extensive Grounds

East Hill House is a Victorian country house, which has been later extended and elegantly modernised by the previous owners. The property occupies a magnificent hillside position with dramatic views towards nearby Ottery St. Mary and across the picturesque East Devon landscape. There is a welcoming reception hall at the entrance, with the grand sweeping staircase leading to the galleried first-floor landing. The wood windows are double glazed throughout and provide a flood of light to each room. The ground floor has three flexible reception rooms, including the 38ft sitting room with its Jetmaster fireplace and its dual aspect, including a south-facing bay window and two sets of west-facing French doors opening onto the garden. There is also a useful study for home working and a formal dining room with two sets of French doors opening to the front garden. Additionally, the L-shaped open-plan Toby’s kitchen and breakfast room features further space in which to dine and relax, with its tiled flooring, solid wood fitted units, breakfast bar, electric and ceramic range cooker and ceramic hob. The first floor offers four double bedrooms, two of which are en suite including the principal bedroom with its Juliet balconies, large dressing room and en suite bathroom. The first floor also has a family bathroom, with the second floor featuring an additional generous double bedroom with eaves storage, a further bathroom and a large attic room.

The detached annexe named ’The Linhay’ offers more than 1,000 sq. ft of further living space, including a well proportioned, open-plan sitting room and kitchen with its vaulted ceiling and dual French doors, opening out towards the surrounding landscapes. There are also two double bedrooms, both of which are en suite. The current owners had the annexe built by David Lowe 14 years ago and have since used it as a successful holiday let through Toad Hall Cottages. The Linhay is on LPG and electric separate meters and is on joint water supply with the main house.
