With a rich history, this enchanting Grade II Listed manor is peacefully situated, offering splendid south facing views over the rolling Devon hills. The main house features six bedrooms, including three generously sized suites, along with an additional substantial four bedroom detached barn conversion. Set within three acres of parkland, the property exudes grandeur and presents a wealth of versatile living and income opportunities. Blagdon Manor is a Grade II Listed home dating back to the Tudor period, with significant later additions from the Georgian era. Featured in the Domesday Book, it stands as one of the most important residences in the historic West Devon parish of Ashwater. Today, this property would suit those seeking a luxurious lifestyle, with the added benefit of approximately three acres of delightful parkland gardens surrounding the home, from which fine views towards Ashwater can be enjoyed. The residence exudes elegance, architectural flair, and charm, and offers a wealth of character alongside many modern comforts, including outstanding bespoke oak cabinetry. A large four bedroom detached barn, located across the courtyard, also boasts considerable character. It has previously been used as holiday accommodation, generating valuable income, and enjoys its own level and enclosed garden space. Our clients have lived at Blagdon for around eight years, during which time they have carefully and meticulously transformed it from a boutique hotel and restaurant retreat into a superb private residence. This transformation is now virtually complete, allowing incoming purchasers the opportunity to add their own final touches. Regardless, the quality of this property should not be underestimated. It is being sold ready for immediate occupation, with no onward chain. The property is accessed at several points around its perimeter.

Each bedroom is individually styled, tastefully decorated and full of charm. Many of the high quality beds, mattresses and furnishings are recent purchases and may potentially be available by separate negotiation. The property has been redecorated throughout using premium paints from brands such as Zoffany and Benjamin Moore.
