Description
Shute House is an elegant property nestled in a picturesque and elevated position within extensive parkland grounds, offering panoramic southerly views and glimpses of the sea at Lyme Bay. Situated in the tranquil village of Shute, it benefits from a strong community spirit, a primary school, and a local bus service connecting to nearby towns and villages. The area is rich in rural charm, with easy access to local farm shops, beaches, and vineyards, and offers excellent walking opportunities. The property is well-positioned for families, being close to the renowned Colyton Grammar School and within reach of the market towns of Axminster and Honiton, each with their own unique amenities and mainline rail links to London. Exeter, with its comprehensive range of facilities, is a comfortable 25-mile drive away. Shute House is part of a historic complex dating back to the late 18th century, with a fascinating past that includes being a school for girls. The house was tastefully converted in the late 1970s into individual dwellings and has been meticulously refurbished by the current owners to an exceptional standard, featuring a linear layout that maximizes the stunning views. Outside, the property offers a private driveway leading to ample parking, a charming courtyard with a well, and a level lawn with vibrant borders, along with a sunny paved terrace perfect for al fresco dining and enjoying the scenic vistas. Residents also have access to a communal tennis court.
