Set in 3.12 acres of rolling East Devon countryside, Otter Dene is a flexible, multigenerational home with established gardens, paddocks, stables and a studio with holiday-let consent. The main house (2,287 sq ft) and a self-contained annexe (905 sq ft) combine to offer seven bedrooms, three kitchens and three living areas — ideal for extended families or an owner seeking rental income potential.
The property’s strengths are its privacy, mature planting, large lawn, kitchen garden and separate access to the larger paddock. A substantial driveway leads to an integral garage/workshop; the studio and three timber stables sit to the rear. The setting beside Venn Ottery Common and nearby nature reserves gives excellent walking and riding opportunities, with convenient road links to Exeter and the A30.
Buyers should note a handful of practical issues: the EPC rating is E, heating is oil-fired via boiler and radiators, broadband speeds are very slow, and drainage is to a private treatment plant. Several trees are subject to a Tree Preservation Order. The studio has planning permission (ref 15/1778/FUL) for holiday use, and extension works have been carried out previously.
This is a substantial country house for purchasers wanting space, privacy and flexible accommodation. It suits large or multigenerational households, small-scale equestrian use or buyers prepared to update services and energy performance to modern standards.
