Whether entertaining friends, hosting gatheringsor enjoying quieter days, there has always been plenty of room. The garden roomin particular is a favourite space, filled with natural light and overlooking thegarden.The walled garden is a real haven and surprisingly private for such a centrallocation. The mature planting attracts an abundance of wildlife, and I have lovedwatching the many birds and squirrels that visit throughout the year.A particularly useful feature has been the Victorian side extension, which providesindependent access to the upper floors without passing through the main house.This worked brilliantly as my family grew up, giving older children a little moreindependence, and could equally suit someone looking to run a business fromhome or create a separate workspace.I have also loved how walkable everything is, with excellent schools, parks andcity amenities all close by. What I will miss most, however, is the character of thehouse itself. Its period features, generous proportions and sense of history createa warm and welcoming home that has been a joy to live in.”OutsideThe approach to the property is equally impressive.

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 PropertyProperties 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.

We’re close to the beach, the train station, Exeter and the M5 all within easy reach, yet it feels like a peaceful world of its own.The house itself was calling out to be loved. It was tired and neglected, full of potential and character. It needed us and we’ve poured care, time, and joy into bringing it back to life. Nearly seven years on, it sings quite literally, alongside the birds that now fill the garden and forest.This home is so much more than bricks and mortar, it’s a way of life. Winter evenings in the hot tub under a frosty, star-filled sky; log fires crackling in the lounge or dining room while we gather for Christmas dinner and quiet mornings with a cup of tea under the holly tree, watching deer wander through the woods.We’ve loved growing our own fruit and vegetables, collecting fresh eggs, and enjoying the company of visiting wildlife including dormice, hedgehogs, foxes, deer, even the occasional pheasant casually strolling past the potting shed. The garden is alive with birdsong and bees, dragonflies flitting over the pond, and the comforting scent of roses as you arrive home.There are memories in every corner: summer days on the deck with family and friends, autumn evenings around the brazier, sports days and hide-and-seek in the garden, breakfasts with Vincent the vole and Peter the pigeon outside the window. The cellar has been a calming retreat for crafts and exercise, while the summerhouse has hosted many happy guests.We’ve enjoyed the balance of countryside and community, with dog walks at the beach, trips with the grandchildren to Haldon Forest Park, and lunches at nearby Kenton Park Estate or Powderham Castle.We’ve always said that Big Friendly Lodge gives you space — space to think, to grow, to be. Whether you want quiet or company, projects or peace, this house welcomes it all. It’s a home that adapts to you.Why are we leaving? Simply because it’s time. We’re getting older, and we want to pass this beautiful home on while it’s still full of life and in great condition, with a happy heart and ready for its next chapter.”** These comments are the personal views of the current owner and are included as an insight into life at the property.

INTRODUCTIONLittle Wolleigh is anything but little. This Grade II listed, 16th-century farmhouse stands proudly within its grounds on the outskirts of Bovey Tracey, perfectly placed on the approach to Dartmoor National Park.A property of true character and substance, it was sympathetically extended in the 1930s, blending timeless period features with modern touches. Inside, the home offers six generous bedrooms and three reception rooms, creating versatile spaces for family living and entertaining.Set in just over 3 acres, the grounds are as enchanting as the house itself, with formal gardens, orchards, and woodland to explore. A range of outbuildings adds further appeal, including a detached barn with store and hayloft, a large greenhouse, a two-storey barn, and an additional barn—ideal for a variety of uses.While steeped in history, Little Wolleigh embraces modern sustainable living. A biomass boiler, solar thermal water system, and solar panels provide an impressive low-carbon footprint, plus fibre throughout the premises including the art studio, ensures this period gem remains as practical as it is picturesque.STEP INSIDEApproaching the house, you’re greeted by a substantial front door—likely original—set within a striking granite surround, a fine example of the history woven into this property.You enter into the dining room, where oak panelling sets a rich tone. From here, the accommodation flows into the living room, your eye immediately drawn to the impressive fireplace with large wood burner and parquet flooring. A third reception room showcases exposed wooden beams, adding to the farmhouse character.The layout is both generous and practical, with two staircases connecting the old and newer parts of the house. A large cloakroom/store and a utility room provide excellent everyday functionality.The kitchen is the heart of the home. Extended to create a luxurious cooking, dining, and entertaining space, it is designed with modern family life in mind. A box window overlooks the gardens, while French doors open onto a side patio leading to the greenhouse—perfect when cooking with fresh produce. A wood burner adds warmth and atmosphere in the cooler months.Refitted in 2021, the kitchen combines traditional charm with modern convenience, featuring wooden worktops, ample storage units, a twin butler sink, space for a fridge/freezer, an integrated dishwasher, and a large range oven (available by negotiation). From here, an inner hallway leads to a store room, door to the driveway and a sizeable utility room, perfectly suited to busy family living.Upstairs, the sense of space continues. The first floor is arranged across both the original farmhouse and the later extension, linked by a wide, light-filled landing with wooden floors.The principal bedroom is substantial, with built-in wardrobes and beautiful garden views. Its en-suite bathroom—also accessible from the landing—features a freestanding bath set before a picture window, a large walk-in shower, and charming curved walls, reflecting the property’s age and character.Bedrooms two and three, in the original part of the house, are generous doubles, while bedrooms four, five, and six all enjoy countryside views. A modern shower room completes the accommodation.SELLERS INSIGHT“When we first came to Little Wolleigh, we were looking for space, seclusion, and the freedom to live and work creatively. Having always lived with neighbours close by, we wanted somewhere private yet still near amenities—and this home gave us exactly that.The outbuilding has been the perfect art studio, while the extensive gardens have provided endless opportunities for our children and animals to grow, play, and explore. It feels so special that the house blends so naturally into the countryside; you’d hardly know it was here. There’s always a sunny spot to sit, and the orchard and trees have been a constant source of joy for us.We love being so close to the Moors—ideal for walking our dogs. The landscape is breathtaking in every season, from snowy winter walks to summer days on nearby beaches.The eco-friendly features have been a real benefit—our borehole, biomass boiler, and solar panels mean the house is comfortable all year round with a low environmental footprint. The flexible layout has worked brilliantly for us, with bedrooms swapping as the children grew, and plenty of space for guests who love having their own area.This home has been the backdrop to so many memories: hosting home education groups of 30–40 children, bird of prey camps, birthdays, and visits from local people who remember playing here in their childhood. There’s ample parking, excellent fibre connection (even in the studio), and the outbuildings have given us incredible opportunities for work and hobbies.We will especially miss the magnificent Copper Beech tree at the centre of the garden—it has always felt like the heart of this special place.”STEP OUTSIDEThe grounds, extending to just over 3 acres, are nothing short of enchanting. A gardener’s dream, they are divided into distinct areas of interest, filled with fruit trees—The ancient orchard has dozens of apples, alongside pear, plum, quince and fig. A fenced enclosure is ideal for chickens or small livestock.In one direction lies the site of a former swimming pool, now reimagined with a thatched roof structure used as a seating area with patio space and box hedging, perfect for gatherings. Stone steps create a charming amphitheatre-style feature, which has been used for events such as home education groups. A bridge over a lily pond continues the journey through the grounds, with hedging marking the boundaries and ensuring privacy.The outbuildings are equally impressive. A large detached, listed barn with mezzanine (once a hayloft) and adjoining store offers huge versatility. A further outbuilding, currently used as a home office, enjoys triple-aspect windows and bifold doors, a cloakroom, and kitchenette—ideal for work or hobbies. A door leads to a store room housing the water filteration system and stairs to an attic room providing additional storage. Another barn houses the biomass boiler, alongside further store rooms, ideal as a workshop or home gym. A large greenhouse finishes the outbuildings, with a pump to regulate temperature it’s an ideal environment for home growing all year round.A formal garden with luscious lawn provides an idyllic area to enjoy the sunshine and views of the countryside surrounding the property. There is ample parking on the driveway with double gated access, plus further gated parking near the detached barn with access directly to the road; ideal for additional parking for visitors or parking a caravan/boat.Together, the house and grounds provide an exceptional balance of period charm, modern living, and sustainable practicality.USEFUL INFORMATIONGrade II Listed Services: Bore hole, Septic Tank, Windhager Biomass boiler linked to a solarthermal system, solar panels, Mains Electric Underfloor heating to Bathrooms Council Tax Band: G EPC Rating: F
