Elmhurst is a substantial, well-presented four-bedroom detached home set in almost an acre of private grounds on the edge of West Hill. The house offers generous family living space across about 2,143 sqft, with a bright open-plan kitchen/dining room, a dual-aspect sitting room with wood-burning stove, and a ground-floor office that could serve as a playroom or occasional fifth bedroom.
Outside there is a wide gravel driveway and a powered double garage, plus landscaped gardens of roughly 0.3 acres and a private wooded copse of about 0.5 acres accessed by a footbridge. The grounds create a secluded, child-friendly setting with a paved patio, feature pond and mature planting for year-round interest.
Practical features include full mains services, gas-fired warm-air heating, double glazing and ample parking. The property sits within catchment for The King’s School (Ottery St Mary) and close to well-regarded local primaries, making it suited to families seeking space, school access and countryside living.
Notable drawbacks to consider: the property is banded at Council Tax G (relatively expensive), broadband speeds are reported slow, and the warm-air heating system is less common and may not suit all buyers. The house was built in 1990 and, while presented well, buyers should check dates/condition of glazing, heating components and any routine maintenance required for the woodland and pond.
