Situation

Oakhay is set in an elevated rural location, approximately four and a half miles west of Exeter, which provides a number of excellent private and state schools at all levels, together with a red brick University and expanding College. The city affords excellent sports and leisure facilities being situated on the River Exe and offering a selection of theatres, cinemas, a museum, beautiful Cathedral, football, rugby and leisure centres, railway links to London Paddington and London Waterloo. Exeter Airport is less than 10 miles away providing ever-expanding air services to the UK and international destinations. Approximately 3 miles to the west of Oakhay is Tedburn St Mary, which provides local amenities including an excellent primary school, village stores, public houses, village hall and a recreational field with football and cricket clubs. The village holds an annual fair. The Fingle Glen Golf and Country Club is approximately 1 and a half miles away.

Description

The principal barn is reverse level with a 40 ft open plan living accommodation on the first floor with a high green oak vaulted frame, light accommodation and beautiful views over the surrounding countryside. Also on this level is a cloakroom, larder and a door into a completely private raised seating area to the west overlooking the principal garden and countryside beyond.
On the ground floor there is an impressive welcoming entrance hall, home/work office area which links to the annexe, utility room and four bedrooms including the master with en-suite and a stunning family bathroom. Throughout the building there is great character and plenty of exposed timbers. In the annexe there is an open plan living area, cloakroom, two bedrooms including the master with en-suite and lovely triple aspect.
Over the double garage/workshop is a studio apartment ideal for guests and/or as a home office with its own entrance hall and en-suite shower room. Also attached to the garage is a bike store and lean-to wood store.
The property is set in approximately 11 acres which consists of four paddocks which have been farmed organically by the current owners, some woodland, a stream and an orchard with a variety of apple, pear, fig and cherry trees. There is a planted area of fast growing hybrid poplar trees for a sustainable wood source. Approximately 8 years ago, the current owners installed a 4 kWp roof mounted solar array system, which benefits from the highest rate FIT tariff that was made available, resulting in a substantial tax free payment each year. The current owners detail that this payment currently more than covers the cost of electricity, water, sewerage and heating at the property. The new owner will benefit from the remainder of the 25 year FIT tariff payments.
Oakhay is a truly impressive property with a great blend of traditional and modern which now provides a unique and versatile residence with annexe, office, income potential or multi-generational living.
