Coming back into the older part of the house you enter a large double aspect open plan kitchen/breakfast/family area interlinking with the drinks room all zoned into distinct areas with exposed stonework.

IntroductionSet in the unspoilt countryside on the edge of Dartmoor National Park, The Manor is an exceptional private estate offering approximately 28 acres of gardens, meadows, and woodland. At its heart stands a distinguished Georgian residence dating from 1800, accompanied by four self-contained cottages, a suite of outbuildings, extensive leisure facilities including a pool, relaxation room and tennis court, and a historic walled garden with outstanding potential. Beautifully secluded yet highly accessible, The Manor presents an exciting opportunity for those seeking a luxurious rural lifestyle, a group accommodation business, or a flexible, multi-generational estate. HistoryThe Manor at Bratton Clovelly has a long and storied past. The Georgian/Regency house was built in 1800 for William Wimpey, then Lord of the Manor, on the site of a former medieval farmhouse and schoolroom—traces of which remain integrated into the present building. Designed with both form and function in mind, the south façade benefits from natural light and warmth, while the west-facing elevation aligns neatly with the village church (or perhaps more conveniently, the local pub). Following the First World War, the estate was broken up and sold off in separate lots. The Manor House itself fetched just £1,400 at auction in Okehampton, with other holdings including cottages and the post office also sold. In more recent times, the property was owned by Captain James Hewitt, who began transforming the estate into an equestrian centre. He added a sand school, installed a stone horse jump in front of the house, converted attic rooms into extra bedrooms, and excavated the lake, which he stocked with fish. While he obtained planning consent to convert the outbuildings into cottages, the work was never started. The estate was later acquired by organic farming entrepreneur Mark Bury, who used The Manor as the base for his 850-acre farming operation. He began the restoration of the outbuildings, a project that has been thoughtfully completed and expanded by the current owners, who purchased the estate and 30 acres of land in 2013. Today, The Manor stands as a rare and rewarding blend of heritage, architectural integrity, and modern rural living. The ManorCompleted in 1800 and steeped in history, The Manor blends Georgian symmetry with warmth and character. One of its most distinctive features is the original bell tower—once part of the old village school. The bell itself, cast in Whitehall by the same foundry that made Big Ben, remains fully functional and can still be rung from the kitchen. Arranged over three floors and extending to more than 8,200 sq ft, the accommodation is generous and elegant throughout. The principal reception rooms include a sitting room, drawing room, dining room, study, and garden room—many with open fireplaces, bay windows, and views across the grounds. A large kitchen, breakfast room, boot room, and utility spaces support family life, while upstairs are eight bedrooms and multiple bathrooms, including several en suites. The layout and proportions offer excellent flexibility for those wanting to entertain, work from home, or accommodate extended family. A substantial cellar provides further storage. The CottagesThe four converted cottages are arranged around a private courtyard and currently sleep up to 18 guests. Each has been thoughtfully renovated and offers stylish, self-contained living—perfect for a group booking retreat, overflow accommodation, or income-generating enterprise. Eversfield Coach House A spacious three-bedroom, three-bathroom cottage with a large kitchen/dining room, sitting room with log burner, ground-floor WC, and private enclosed garden with hot tub.

French doors open to a private balcony with courtyard views. Approx. 844 sq.ft.

OutbuildingsIn addition to the main accommodation, The Manor includes an extensive range of traditional and functional outbuildings, offering scope for storage, creative use, or further development (subject to planning). Eversfield Barn is a great additional asset on the estate, offering a mix of practical and hospitality-focused spaces. On the ground floor, it features a fully equipped commercial kitchen and a private dining room—ideal for intimate entertaining or group retreats. The dining room opens onto a generous terrace, allowing guests to enjoy meals either indoors or outside. It’s a flexible space, perfectly suited to being used by a private chef for tailored, relaxed dining experiences. Above the barn is a self-contained space currently used as the estate office, it has a shower room, and kitchenette with its own private terrace—ideal for estate staff, visiting chefs, or overflow accommodation (subject to necessary permissions). Other additional outbuildings include: A large former barn with internal divisions Multiple stone stores and general-purpose utility buildings Pellet store and boiler room Pool house with covered seating area, sauna, and changing room Gardens & GroundsThe Manor is surrounded by approximately 28 acres of beautifully varied grounds, offering total privacy and a remarkable sense of tranquillity. The gardens immediately surrounding the house are thoughtfully landscaped, with shaped lawns, well-established planting, and a number of terraces and seating areas designed to make the most of the views and peaceful setting. Beyond the formal gardens lie wildflower meadows, gently sloping pasture, and areas of mature woodland—carpeted with bluebells in spring and threaded by a meandering stream. Tucked into this natural landscape is a secluded lake, fed by the stream, which offers a magical setting for quiet reflection or wild swimming. Leisure is very much at the heart of the estate. A heated outdoor swimming pool sits within a private, enclosed terrace, complete with a covered seating area, sauna, and changing facilities. Adjacent to this, a detached relaxation room houses a hydrotherapy wellness pool and a separate hot tub, providing a quiet space to unwind year-round. The grounds also include a full-size tennis court and, notably, a large historic walled garden—currently unused but offering exciting potential. Whether restored as a productive kitchen garden, transformed into a landscaped entertaining space, or developed for weddings and events (subject to permissions), it represents a rare and valuable opportunity. Importantly, there are no public footpaths crossing the land, ensuring complete seclusion and uninterrupted enjoyment of this extraordinary setting. LocationThe Manor enjoys a peaceful and private position on the edge of Bratton Clovelly, a charming West Devon village steeped in history and community spirit. The village itself offers a traditional pub, a 13th-century church, and an active village hall, while the surrounding landscape is some of the most beautiful in the South West—rolling hills, ancient hedgerows, and far-reaching views in every direction. Despite the sense of seclusion, the property is remarkably well connected. The nearby town of Okehampton (around 8 miles) provides a full range of everyday amenities including supermarkets, cafés, independent shops, medical services, and schooling. It also benefits from a recently reinstated railway link offering direct trains to Exeter in under 40 minutes, and onward connections to London Paddington and beyond. To the east lies Dartmoor National Park—an iconic expanse of granite tors, wooded valleys, and wild moorland, perfect for walking, horse riding, wild swimming, or simply switching off in nature. The north Devon and north Cornwall coasts are both within easy reach, offering dramatic cliffs, sandy beaches, and excellent surfing. Exeter, around 30 miles to the east, serves as the region’s commercial and cultural hub, with extensive shopping, respected schools, sporting facilities, and an international airport offering flights within the UK and to selected European destinations.
