Sunnybank House is a spacious four-bedroom former vicarage set in the centre of Upottery, offering sweeping countryside views across the Otter Valley. The house sits in about 0.39 acres with a long driveway, single garage and multiple parking spaces — a strong match for families seeking outdoor space and privacy. Ground-floor layout includes a large entrance hall, flexible snug (suitable as a downstairs bedroom), sitting room with open fire, dining room and kitchen with utility room; many rear rooms take advantage of the far-reaching views.
The first floor provides four double bedrooms, two of which link through a Jack-and-Jill shower room, plus a separate family bathroom and an additional shower room — good scope for multi-generational living. The landscaped rear garden includes lawns, two decks, a patio, greenhouse, raised beds and mature borders, creating a private, usable outdoor environment for children and gardeners alike.
Practical points to note: the property is oil-fired with boiler and radiators, timber-frame construction from the late 1960s/early 1970s with partial insulation assumed, and double glazing of unknown age. Council tax is described as expensive and the local recorded crime level is high; buyers should factor running costs and local safety considerations into their plans. The house offers clear scope for updating and improvement rather than a purely move-in-fresh option.
Location is a major draw: Upottery is in the Blackdown Hills National Landscape with a good primary school, pub and village amenities, and reasonable road links to Honiton, Exeter and the A303. For families or multi-generational households who value space, views and village life, Sunnybank House provides character, flexibility and significant outdoor grounds, but it requires attention to heating, insulation and ongoing maintenance budgets.
