Summary - The Old Vicarage, Luppitt EX14 4RY
5 bed 3 bath Detached
Renovated Victorian vicarage with stunning gardens and panoramic views.
Panoramic uninterrupted countryside views from principal rooms
An impressive mid‑Victorian detached country house, The Old Vicarage has been extensively renovated and sits on an unusually large, elevated plot in the Blackdown Hills AONB. The house offers generous, characterful living spaces — three principal reception rooms, a bespoke kitchen/family room with new quartz worksurfaces and quality appliances, a garden room with panoramic countryside views, and a principal suite with walk‑in wardrobe and new luxury en‑suite. Photovoltaic panels with battery storage reduce running costs and complement the recent upgrades throughout.
The mature, landscaped gardens and terraces are a key asset: layered lawns, flintstone retaining walls, specimen planting, a summerhouse, greenhouse and kitchen garden provide excellent outdoor living and productive space. Off‑street parking, electric gated entrance and a substantial garage/workshop (with PV on the roof) add practicality for cars, hobbies and storage.
Buyers should note a few material points: heating is by LPG with an underground tank rather than mains gas; the house is stone‑built with assumed uninsulated granite walls, which may limit thermal performance despite recent double glazing and underfloor heating to the en‑suite. Drainage is private via a treatment plant. Council tax is high (Band G) and local recorded crime levels are relatively elevated for a rural location. Mobile signal is average though broadband speeds are reported as fast.
This property will particularly suit families or buyers seeking an elegant, character house with extensive gardens and strong rural views, who appreciate recent high‑quality refurbishment but understand the ongoing considerations of a large pre‑1900 stone house (fuel type, wall insulation and private drainage).
