A charming house enjoying a private position within the grounds of Oxton House, with a south-facing terrace, an entrance balcony overlooking parkland, double garage, parking and a share of the freehold.

Oxton House is a Grade II Listed building built between 1781-91 by the Reverend John Swete, the Devon diarist and traveller. The Orangery was added as a wing in the late 20th century and is a delightful semi-detached property located to the rear of Oxton House, enjoying a peaceful setting within the communal grounds.

Measuring just under 1,800 sqft in total, the principal accommodation is situated on the first floor, where large sash windows and generous ceiling heights create a bright and welcoming atmosphere throughout. The sitting room is an elegant reception space, featuring decorative cornicing, a period fireplace and attractive views over the surrounding gardens. Adjacent is a well-proportioned dining room with French doors opening onto a delightful entrance balcony, providing an ideal space for entertaining and enjoying views across the communal grounds and neighbouring parkland beyond. The kitchen is also located on this level, creating a practical arrangement for both everyday living and entertaining, completed by a cloakroom/WC.

The four-bedroom accommodation is arranged on the ground floor, together with the bath and shower room facilities. The layout offers flexible accommodation suited for either a principal residence or lock-up-and-leave home.

Outside, The Orangery enjoys a private south-facing sun terrace, accessible from the fourth bedroom/study, providing ample space for outdoor seating and dining. The entrance balcony offers an elevated outlook over the surrounding grounds and parkland, while a useful garden store is located beneath, providing excellent storage for gardening equipment and outdoor furniture.

A particular feature of the property is its access to the exceptional communal gardens and grounds of Oxton House. Extending through a wooded valley setting, the grounds comprise an abundance of mature trees, shrubs and established planting, creating a wonderful parkland environment for residents to enjoy throughout the year. Residents also benefit from the use of a hard-surface tennis court and croquet lawn, together with a visitors' parking area. The property further benefits from a double garage.
