DESCRIPTION: The Old Dairy dates back to the 1800's, and was built originally as a garden pavilion where the ladies from the big house (Bystock Court) entertained and took tea in the large octagonal room (now named the family room) with its beautiful lattice work windows. Over the years the property has been enlarged and considerably extended to now provide versatile accommodation over three floors.
The house is south facing, and its elevated position provides lovely far-reaching views over Exmouth towards the coast.
The main entrance on the lower ground floor leads into an amazing and most interesting octagonal cellar with eight round headed archways, and an octagonal central pillar. This room would make a fantastic party room, especially having a large games room off of it. Also on the lower ground floor is a generous double bedroom with en-suite shower room, this room has double doors out to the front driveway and could potentially lend itself to AirBnB. The lower ground floor is a very versatile space that if desired could be configured as separate accommodation for a relative or additional income. The accommodation on the ground floor consists of a wonderful bright octagonal family room, with beautiful feature arched latticed windows and doors. Off of this room is a sun room which wraps around three sides of the property, from here the beautiful mature garden can really be appreciated and provides access to a large decked south facing terrace. Also on the first floor is a bright galley kitchen with three windows overlooking the rear garden, and a decorative arched internal window providing a serving area to the family room. A separate dining room, bedroom and family bathroom complete this floor. The principal sitting room with vaulted ceiling and the master bedroom suite are located on the top floor to take full advantage of the delightful panoramic vista over Exmouth, which includes some distant sea views.
The property boasts two entrances, both behind large timber gates. The lower entrance provides access to the detached double garage and a gravelled driveway providing off road parking for several vehicles. From here is the entrance door to the lower ground floor. The upper entrance provides additional vehicular access and an entrance door to the kitchen on the ground floor.
The gardens of The Old Dairy extend to just over half an acre, they are mature and exceptionally well stocked with a range of trees, shrubs and plants. There is a separate vegetable garden area with two greenhouses and many raised beds.
SITUATION: The Old Dairy forms part of a unique collection of period properties known as 'Bystock hamlet', the original estate houses belonging to the nearby Grade II listed Bystock Court. The property is situated on a secluded no through private drive on the far north-eastern edge of the coastal town of Exmouth. The town of Exmouth boasts over three miles of glorious golden sands and is renowned nationally as a regional centre for water sports activities - especially kitesurfing, sailing & windsurfing. Exmouth is a bustling town with a vibrant shopping centre that also hosts a wide range of leisure and entertainment facilities, including a cinema, sports amenities, M&S food hall, and a range of excellent restaurants. It is also close to Woodbury Common, an extensive area of open heathland and woodland ideal for walking and riding. Exmouth is only 12 miles by road or rail from the Cathedral City of Exeter, with its Intercity railway station, international airport, connection to the M5 motorway and all major shops and facilities.
