FORMER HOTEL AND ANNEXE

An attractive former country house hotel and adjacent modern annexe, set in approx. 0.33 acres, in a pretty rural hamlet, approx. 3 miles from Exeter. The property is a Grade ll Listed building and on the 2nd November 2017 planning permission was granted for conversion of hotel/restaurant to a dwelling and variation of the Managers Cottage to use as an annexe or holiday accommodation. (See East Devon District Council applications 17/1219/COU17/1994/VAR). The former hotel (which was extended in 1988) has 8 letting rooms with en-suite bathroom or en-suite shower room facilities and there are impressive restaurant and lounge areas with numerous period features. The detached annexe was built in the late 1990's and this provides smart accommodation with 3 bedrooms all with en-suite bathrooms. Outside the gardens and grounds include a good sized car park.
