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. Approx. 1,997 sq.ft. Eversfield Apartment Linked to the Coach House but independently accessed, this adaptable unit offers one or two bedrooms, a living space, an en suite, and an additional WC—ideal for staff or flexible guest use. Eversfield Cottage A two-bedroom home of character and scale, featuring a dramatic double-height atrium, open-plan living and dining space, contemporary kitchen, and gallery landing leading to two en suite bedrooms and a balcony overlooking the courtyard.

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.

When we first arrived, we knew immediately that it was somewhere special — a house full of character, surrounded by beautiful grounds, and set in a landscape that feels endlessly inspiring. It quickly became our dream home.Our children have grown up here and absolutely flourished in this setting. There is something magical about living somewhere like this — the freedom of the gardens, the sense of adventure in the grounds, and the ever-changing landscape beyond. It offers everything you could hope for from a countryside home, and it has provided the backdrop to so many cherished memories as a family.One of the things we have loved most is the location. Lustleigh is such a special place and increasingly rare to find these days. There is a genuine sense of community in the village, and it’s something we’ve always valued enormously. Being able to walk into the village in just five or ten minutes has been a real joy — whether for the shop, meeting friends, or village events — yet when you return to Parklands, you feel completely removed from everything, as though you are a million miles away.The views are something we will miss deeply. Every window frames a different outlook across the gardens, trees and surrounding countryside. The landscape constantly changes — with the seasons, the light and even throughout the day — so there is always something beautiful to look at.Parklands has become such a part of us and our lives that it will always hold a very special place in our hearts. However, the time has come for a new chapter, and we hope another family will come here and start creating their own memories. We certainly know that we will never forget a single day of living here.”STEP INSIDEAn original timber door leads into a practical sun/boot room with stone paved floor — an appropriate prelude to a house so intrinsically connected to its landscape.

Notably contemporaryLocated within the south Leicestershire village of Cosby, this house sitting on a third of an acre of ground, has been redesigned to maximise its potential. Containing over 3,000 square feet of interior space, it easily fulfils contemporary expectations for a bespoke executive property. Originally constructed during the 1940s, it has been the project of the present homeowner for ten years, with a complete renovation and extension beginning in October 2020 and a total rewiring in 2023. The resulting transformation is an outstanding detached house that along with many other features, provides three reception rooms, a spacious kitchen and breakfast diner, and a ground floor guest suite with five large double bedrooms across the first floor.Established residential area The house is located within a quiet residential area of similarly unique, characterful properties and benefits from little traffic by being atop a cul de sac. Kerb appeal is immediate. It is fronted by an open plan arrangement of paving, discreet planting and a wide drive that winds to the front and side. It is undoubtably a statement property. Characterful features include an intersecting and overlaid hip and valley roof, with dormer windows and an impressive apex window. Anthracite window frames and white rendered walls create expectations of a modern interior, as everything about the exterior-including the new roof complete with replacement fascia, soffits and guttering- establishes the impression of sharp, clean structural lines. This is enforced by the symmetry of the open weather porch, shielding a composite front door, and matched with a pair of translucent glass panels.Vehicular access is unhindered and there is ample parking. An integral single garage is immediately to the right of the property and access to the main house can be gained from here, through a downstairs washroom. The garage is equipped with overhead lighting, a store cupboard and power. The tour of the ground floorThe house has been totally renovated and enlarged to prioritise light, airiness and space.

This is a generous property that reflects minimalism, great design and decisions made with high quality as standard. The residence is in every way, uncluttered. Unhindered lines of sight and a neutral colour palette, provide an interior décor that is the blueprint for free flow contemporary living, and the central point of convergence, is the entrance hall.The hall’s stunning apex window and vaulted ceiling is a major feature.

This executive home has been renovated with an exacting level of detail and attention to the fixtures and fittings. The property is coordinated throughout with matching doors, skirting boards, switches and LED ambient lighting. Fitted blinds cover most windows and most can be operated with a remote control. In the hall there are deep set windows on each side of the entrance.Optimised open plan living The open plan kitchen diner is to the right and measures nearly a third of the internal downstairs area. Covered in large porcelain floor tiles, it is an extensive light-filled room with dual aspects, and incorporates many stylish features, seamlessly running from one purposed space to another. Beginning with the breakfast room, the window has a front aspect. It is presently used as an informal sitting area but however it is used, it is within sight and easy conversation of those in the kitchen. The versatility of this space is an asset.Beyond, the kitchen is amply fitted with soft closing wall and floor non-handle units, an expanse of work top across one wall and a central island with sink and three built in USB points.

They fold back to allow the raised terrace to become an extension of the room. This is ideal for entertaining and provides immediate access to the landscaped, private garden.A landscaped garden The garden is a continuation of the open plan scheme. It is a secluded, well-maintained garden and incorporates terracing, shrubbery, planted beds, hedges and trees. A sheltered summer house and green house with raised beds provide interest for keen gardeners, while a large, grassed area is perfect for children to play safely.

Leaving this room and walking back into the kitchen, a boot room is discreetly located in the hall and then a hallway links the remaining ground floor reception rooms and guest suite.Both reception rooms are spacious, easily cater for different arrangements of furniture and have patio doors opening to the terrace. The sitting room is particularly bright, as it also has two large picture windows. It is carpeted and fitted with coordinating blinds and curtains. Likewise, the lounge has curtains. This room has a wood effect laminate flooring and a large fireplace, displaying a slate hearth, oak mantel and black gas fire. The reception rooms share an internal window.The guest suite and first floor bedroomsBefore ascending to the first floor, the ground floor has a valuable asset that has yet to be investigated.
