SITUATION
Otterton is a delightful and historic village, nestling in the beautiful East Devon countryside between Sidmouth and Budleigh Salterton.

May Tree Barn is just 3 miles from Budleigh seafront, and there is a regular bus service from the village to Sidmouth, Budleigh Salterton and Exmouth. The world heritage Jurassic coastline lies within half mile of the village and the nature reserve at the mouth of the River Otter, famous for its wide variety of bird life, is only about a mile away.
The Cathedral City of Exeter is an easy commute to the west and offers a wide range of facilities, rail links on the Paddington and Waterloo lines, access to the M5 at Junction 30 and Exeter Airport.
DESCRIPTION
The property is a delightful converted threshing barn, believed to date back to the 17th century, with many character features having been retained following the conversion in 1987.
The accommodation is light and spacious throughout with two reception rooms and a shaker-style kitchen on the ground floor. There is a welcoming entrance hall with stairs rising to the first floor, downstairs cloakroom and rear door to the garden. The generous living room is dual aspect with plenty of light and feature fireplace with woodburning stove, patio doors to front and rear gardens. The dining room is a lovely reception space with window overlooking the front and access out to the rear gardens, perfect for entertaining.
The shaker-style kitchen offers plenty of storage with a range of fitted cabinets, electric Rangemaster oven with induction hob, Quooker tap, integrated fridge, Neff microwave and dishwasher. Off the kitchen is a handy utility room with stable door to the garden, space (and plumbing) for washing machine, tumble dryer and freestanding freezer.
On the first floor, the character of this converted barn comes to life with exposed timbers on the landing and throughout the bedrooms on this floor. Bedroom one is spacious and enjoys beautiful views over the cottage garden, with full length window, hanging storage and ensuite shower room, with underfloor heating. Bedrooms two and three are both doubles, with bedroom two having plenty of fitted storage. The family bathroom is spacious with roll top bath and shower over, wash hand basin with vanity below, WC, heated towel rail and underfloor heating.
OUTSIDE
The gardens are a real feature of the property and set across different levels. There is a gravel seating area, perfect for alfresco dining, with steps leading up to more formal gardens with wildlife pond, mature shrubs and thatched summerhouse.
The summerhouse is complete with electric and there are double doors to a small patio area in front to enjoy the beautiful setting. A few steps lead to a further area of garden which is rented from Clinton Devon Estate with the current lease cost of £350 per annum. There is a greenhouse, vegetable patch, a selection of fruit trees (apple, cherry and plum), garden shed, and the garden backs on to fields. There is small front garden, with a May tree giving the property its name, and off-road parking.
