Description
Lillybrook is a charming, detached Grade II Listed house which is thought to date from the late 16th century with an addition in the late 1920s, though since then has been further upgraded and now is a comfortable home with many period features including exposed beams and plank and muntin screens. The house faces south and is set back from the road (Six Mile Hill).
Overall, the accommodation amounts to over 1,800sq ft. A spacious reception hall has an attractive tiled floor, one of two staircases and a coat/boot room which houses the boiler. There is an impressive 23ft dual aspect kitchen/dining room with ample space for entertaining and an adjoining utility room.
A study/office has French windows leading onto the front garden. A step leads to the lovely dual aspect sitting room which has two oak plank and muntin screens and a large stone fireplace housing a wood burning stove. The adjoining front hallway has a separate downstairs toilet and leads to a 2nd Sitting room (which may also be used as a 4th bedroom) with a second staircase to the first floor.
On the first floor are three double bedrooms and a bathroom; two of the bedrooms have their own staircase. Bedroom one (accessed from the rear hallway) is dual aspect with a vaulted ceiling. Bedroom two (accessed from the 2nd Sitting room) is also dual aspect with a high ceiling and with the 2nd Sitting room/Bedroom four below could be perfect as a separate unit for multigenerational living.
The detached Linhay Barn is separately Grade II Listed, and provides a small workshop, storage and woodshed on the ground floor with an extensive loft over.
The lane gives access to off road parking and leads to an open-fronted, timber-framed double car port which has an adjoining log store. The grounds at Lillybrook are a particular delight and run for the benefit of wildlife. There are sitting areas and cottage gardens on 3 sides of the house and to the north a large expanse of lawn. On the other side of the lane there is an old orchard and a paddock which adjoin the brook. To the east of the house there is a further grassed area, an orchard and the main pasture field. Next to this a wild area and a mature woodland of oak, larch and hazel faces a wildflower meadow across the stream. The overall extent is approximately 9.5 acres.
Situation
Lillybrook enjoys a delightful setting on the outskirts of the sought-after village of Tedburn St Mary, surrounded by beautiful Devon countryside whilst remaining conveniently positioned for access to Exeter and the wider road network. The village offers a strong sense of community and a range of everyday amenities including a well-regarded primary school, village stores, traditional public houses, a village hall and a recreation ground supporting football and cricket clubs.
For those who enjoy outdoor pursuits, the surrounding area provides an abundance of scenic walks, cycling routes and access to the nearby Dartmoor National Park, renowned for its spectacular landscapes and recreational opportunities.
The cathedral city of Exeter lies approximately 7 miles to the east and provides an extensive range of shopping, cultural and leisure amenities. Exeter is home to a number of highly regarded state and independent schools, together with the internationally respected University of Exeter and Exeter College. The city also offers excellent transport connections, including mainline rail services to London Paddington and Waterloo, easy access to the M5 motorway and regular flights from Exeter Airport to a range of domestic and international destinations.
