Historic Significance In 1410 the Annuellars' College, home to the Cathedral's chantry priests, originally occupied this site. After the 1530's Reformation the property came into private ownership and was completely remodelled in 1596 as the city's Custom House, which included the addition of the Royal Coat of Arms which is still in place today on the front of the property. 1726 saw the building begin a new chapter as a coffee house, thought by some historians to have been among the earliest of its kind in Britain, taking the name Mol’s after its first proprietor, Mary Wildly. Remarkably, for more than a century after that, the coffee house was run exclusively by women throughout its life until its closure in 1829, securing its place in the rich social history of Exeter. The property retains many of its original features, offering a rare glimpse into the architecture of the era. A Truly Unique Property Properties of this heritage and character rarely come to market. Mol’s House represents not simply a home, but a piece of Exeter’s living history. This is an extraordinary opportunity for those who appreciate architecture, storytelling, and the preservation of historic buildings. Services: Mains electricity, water and drainage.

Presented by James Cooper - Part of By Design’s network, with more than 25 years’ experience in the South Devon premium property market. Introduction Lillies is a striking contemporary home in a wonderfully peaceful position on the edge of Christow, within Dartmoor National Park and looking out across the Teign Valley. There is a calmness to the house that is immediately apparent. Light pours in through large expanses of glazing, the views are drawn into the main living spaces, and the layout has been designed to feel open, easy and sociable. Yet this is not simply a quiet retreat. Lillies is also a great house for entertaining, with generous open plan living space, terraces, bi-fold doors, a built-in wood fired oven and a natural flow between inside and out. It is the kind of house that works just as well for slow mornings and peaceful evenings as it does for parties, family gatherings and long summer lunches. Set in around 2.67 acres, with gardens, paddock, woodland, a triple garage and a separate studio, Lillies offers space, privacy and flexibility, sitting on the edge of Christow village, while still being in easy reach of Exeter, the A38, A30 and M5. The Inside The house has a distinctive contemporary design, with white rendered elevations, honey-coloured stone and a slate roof with deep eaves. Inside, the feeling is light, open and calming, with floor to ceiling windows helping to frame the outlook and bring the outside in. The main living space sits at the heart of the house. The sitting room, dining area and kitchen/breakfast room work together beautifully, creating a sociable layout that feels relaxed and practical for everyday life, while also being ideal for entertaining. The sitting and dining areas are interlinked and share an exposed stone wall with a double-sided fireplace, giving warmth and character to the contemporary interior. Large sliding doors open directly onto the terrace and garden, so in the warmer months the house can open up and flow naturally outside. One of the more unexpected features is the study space, accessed via a hidden bookshelf door off the living room. It is a lovely detail and gives the house a sense of fun, while also providing a useful quiet space for working from home, reading or escaping from the busier parts of the house. The kitchen/breakfast room is generous and well planned, with plenty of space around a large central island and a wide oak work surface for informal dining. It has a relaxed country feel, with farmhouse-style units, built-in electric appliances and a slate tiled floor, but the layout keeps it firmly part of the main living and entertaining space. A real highlight is the built-in wood fired oven, perfect for pizza, roasts or relaxed cooking whatever the weather. The bi-fold doors beside it open directly onto the rear patio, making this a brilliant space for hosting, with food, drinks and guests moving easily between the kitchen and outside. Also on the ground floor are a utility room, boot room and cloakroom, which are all valuable additions for a home with land, gardens and plenty of outdoor space. Upstairs, the part-galleried landing leads to four double bedrooms. The principal bedroom suite includes a large dressing room with built-in wardrobes, an en suite bath and shower room, and its own balcony overlooking the garden, grounds and the views beyond. The guest bedroom has an en suite shower room, while the two further double bedrooms are served by the family bath and shower room. Two of the bedrooms also have access to a further balcony, again making the most of the outlook. The Outside Lillies is approached down a lane, with a gated turn-off leading into a large gravelled parking area with space for several vehicles. One of the real strengths outside is the garage building. This is a substantial detached structure and far more than just garaging. On the ground floor there is a triple garage, providing excellent storage and parking, but the scale of the building means it could lend itself to a wide range of future uses, depending on someone’s needs. It could work well for car storage, bikes, workshop space, a gym, hobbies, or potentially something more ambitious, subject to any necessary permissions. Above the garage is a really spacious studio with its own shower and WC. This gives the property a huge amount of flexibility. It could make a fantastic home office, creative studio, guest space or ancillary accommodation to the main house. There may also be potential for it to be used as a holiday let, subject to the necessary permissions. The gardens wrap mainly around the eastern side of the house, where a paved terrace looks over the lawn and out towards the paddock beyond. The lawn is bordered by post and rail fencing, creating a natural divide between the immediate garden and the land. There is also a further paved terrace to the front of the house, which faces west and enjoys the evening sun, but it is the rear garden that really adds to the way the house can be enjoyed. From the kitchen, bi-fold doors open directly onto a large patio area, creating a natural entertaining space that works wonderfully, especially with the built-in wood fired oven. From here, a sloped path leads up to a level lawn, where there is a summer house with power. This could work well as a garden store, home office, studio or simply a quiet garden room, depending on how a new owner wants to use the space. A further path leads down the side of the property to a covered seating area, ideal for sitting outside when you want to escape the sun or enjoy the garden in a more sheltered spot. Together, these outside spaces give Lillies a lovely balance. It is peaceful and calming day to day, but also a brilliant house for entertaining, with space for summer lunches, drinks with friends, family gatherings and pizza evenings whatever the weather. Behind the garage is a small area of woodland and the paddock lies beyond the garden and is bounded by a stream along the northern side. Altogether, the gardens, paddock and woodland amount to approx 2.67 acres. Location Lillies is tucked away, but not isolated, on the western side of the Teign Valley within Dartmoor National Park. Christow village centre is approximately 0.7 miles away and offers a good range of local amenities, including a community shop, doctor's surgery, a primary school, church, pub and community hall. The surrounding countryside is a major part of the appeal. The property sits close to Tottiford and Kennick reservoirs, with Dartmoor, the Teign Valley and open countryside on your doorstep, making this a wonderful area for walking, cycling and enjoying the outdoors. Moretonhampstead is around 6 miles away and offers further day-to-day amenities, while Exeter city centre is approximately 10 miles away, providing a much wider choice of shops, restaurants, schools, transport links and cultural facilities. The property is well connected by road, with the A38 Devon Expressway just 7 miles away, the A30 around 8 miles and the M5 motorway within 10 miles. Exeter St David's station, around 10 miles away, offers regular high-speed services to London Paddington and Waterloo, while Exeter Airport is 15.5 miles away.

SELLERS INSIGHT Manor House found us when we were giving the housing market a much-needed rest whilst on holiday locally. The moment we walked through the door we were aware of the warmth and peace. This unmistakable atmosphere has continued over the last 15 years. The beautiful garden brought joy and fruitful fulfilment to our retirement years. Finally, the peace and genuine friendliness of the village is priceless. STEP INSIDE Manor House offers the best of both worlds, a tranquil setting often described as the perfect slice of Devon, yet only 4 miles from a walk on the beach at Lyme Regis. Dating back to the 16th century, this Grade II listed home is rich in character and history. High ceilings, abundant natural light and generously proportioned rooms are a hallmark of this delightful home. A formal dining room, complemented by a separate breakfast room, offers flexible dining options for both family gatherings and more intimate occasions. The beautifully appointed kitchen, with its impressive dual-control electric Aga, provides a warm and inviting focal point, a true centrepiece to the home. From here, a stable door opens onto a patio with views stretching down the garden, perfect for alfresco dining or morning coffee. A discreet utility cupboard ensures everyday essentials are neatly tucked away. The sitting room is an inviting space to unwind, featuring an inglenook fireplace with wood burner, ideal for cosy evenings, or simply a spot to enjoy a book and admire the outlook from the attractive front aspect. Upstairs, the character of Manor House continues to shine. The principal bedroom is a generous retreat where history meets comfort, featuring a striking moulded stone arch and a stained-glass window that reflect the home’s heritage. Despite its historic features, it remains a practical and inviting space with built-in wardrobes and an en-suite bathroom. The three additional bedrooms are all spacious doubles, each with its own character and charm. The second bedroom is especially appealing, with views across the gardens and the added benefit of an en-suite shower room. A further well-appointed shower room serves the remaining two bedrooms.

A convenient driveway sits alongside the house, complete with an EV charging point. The gardens immediately surrounding the house are level and beautifully landscaped, with lawns bordered by established shrubs, trees, and flowering plants.

One of the lower pathways, known as The Nuns’ Walk, pays homage to the property’s historical and ecclesiastical past. As you wander past the summerhouse, a stone archway opens into a productive area of garden set aside for fruit and vegetables, complete with a useful store and workshop.
