Striking for its former chapel with fanlight, cross final and turret, West Hill’s East Grange makes up the larger part of a vicarage designed in 1850 by the Revd George Buchanan Wollaston, a botanist, plantsman, watercolourist and architect who was articled to Auguste-Charles Pugin.
The property is currently on the market via Humberts at a guide price of £1.175 million.
Just south-west of Ottery St Mary, Wollaston also designed the Church of St Michael the Archangel at West Hill.
Now wisteria-clad and secluded, accessed via a meandering drive, four-bedroom East Grange enjoys views over lawns, well-stocked beds, a striking magnolia tree, apple and plum orchard, outdoor pool and separate studio/office.
East Grange is currently on the market via Humberts at a guide price of £1.175 million — see more pictures, or enquire with the agent for further details.
