Wild Winds represents a rare opportunity to acquire an exceptional private lifestyle estate in one of North Devon’s most desirable coastal countryside settings. Extending to approximately 6,500 sq ft, this impressive six/seven-bedroom contemporary barn conversion combines outstanding scale, privacy and entertaining space with proven income potential, all within easy reach of the region’s renowned beaches. Currently operating as an established luxury holiday letting business, with trading figures available on request, Wild Winds offers considerably more than a substantial private residence. It presents a compelling lifestyle and investment opportunity, appealing equally to those seeking a landmark family home, a coastal retreat with income or a distinctive property from which to build a successful hospitality business. The property is set within beautifully landscaped gardens and grounds extending to approximately three acres, enjoying sweeping views across the surrounding countryside towards the sea beyond. The grounds provide excellent privacy, generous space for outdoor entertaining and the potential for equestrian use, creating a wonderfully secluded setting in which to relax, entertain and enjoy the North Devon lifestyle. Arranged over two floors, the accommodation has been thoughtfully designed for contemporary luxury living. At the heart of the home is a spectacular open-plan living, kitchen and dining space, creating an impressive yet welcoming environment for family life, entertaining and holiday guests. Expansive proportions, high-quality finishes and carefully considered design combine to create a home of genuine presence and distinction. The first floor features a superb principal suite with its own private terrace, providing an idyllic retreat from which to enjoy the surrounding landscape and coastal views. The remaining bedrooms are equally well appointed, with five ensuite facilities supporting both comfortable family living and the property’s successful operation as a luxury holiday let. Further accommodation includes a dedicated playroom and a flexible media and playroom with a wall-mounted television, offering excellent potential to create a dedicated home cinema. These versatile spaces reinforce Wild Winds’ appeal as a property designed for relaxation, entertainment and memorable stays, while allowing future owners to adapt the accommodation to suit their own requirements. An Exceptional Additional Opportunity Available by separate negotiation is a neighbouring barn benefiting from planning permission for a further substantial contemporary conversion of approximately 7,500 sq ft, subject to confirmation from the approved plans. The consent is understood to have been secured under previous Class Q regulations and represents an increasingly rare and valuable planning asset, with comparable permissions likely to be considerably more difficult to obtain under current regulations. Importantly, the neighbouring barn is not included within the principal sale of Wild Winds and its approximately three acres. Instead, it provides an additional opportunity for a purchaser wishing to create the ultimate private estate, develop a second substantial residence, establish further guest accommodation or explore a wider commercial proposition, subject to the relevant consents and individual requirements. Additional adjoining land may also be available by separate negotiation, further enhancing the flexibility and long-term potential of the wider estate. Wild Winds is therefore not simply a large coastal home. It is a highly unusual and versatile proposition: a private country estate, a luxury entertaining house, a proven holiday letting business and, for those wishing to expand, an opportunity to acquire a neighbouring development project of exceptional scale and rarity. Opportunities offering this combination of lifestyle, income, privacy and future potential are seldom available in the North Devon market.

INTRODUCTION Occupying a private position on Higher Woodfield Road in the heart of Torquay, Mintons is an exceptional Grade II listed Victorian residence, dating back to circa 1834 and steeped in rich heritage. Once owned by the renowned industrialist Herbert Minton—whose pioneering work in ceramics and porcelain influenced design across the world and was ordered by Queen Victoria—the home carries a legacy that is both rare and remarkable. This heritage is beautifully expressed throughout, most notably in the exquisite encaustic tiles synonymous with Minton’s craftsmanship, showcasing intricate geometric patterns that echo a period of true artistic innovation. Architecturally striking, the property evokes an elegant Italianate charm, with grand, light-filled rooms flowing effortlessly onto private, landscaped gardens inspired by the Mediterranean. The atmosphere is one of timeless sophistication—where classical proportions, high ceilings, decorative cornicing, and original sash windows with shutters combine to create a home of enduring character. Despite its history, Mintons has been thoughtfully maintained and sensitively enhanced, offering a seamless balance between period grandeur and modern-day living. The accommodation is both substantial and versatile. The principal residence provides five generous bedrooms and six impressive reception rooms, including a conservatory and an orangery—ideal for both formal entertaining and relaxed family living. Complementing the main house are two self-contained apartments—a one-bedroom flat and a two-bedroom coach house—perfect for multi-generational living, guest accommodation, or income potential. The accommodation could be used as one residence as all connects, but could also be used as three self contained properties. Further benefits include a swimming pool, two garages, extensive storage, and a highly usable cellar incorporating a dedicated wine cellar—completing a residence that is as functional as it is beautiful. SELLERS INSIGHT “Mintons captivated us at first sight.  A welcoming, bright, and historic house with an attractive conservatory and orangery plus a unique pavilion. It’s more reminiscent of a villa on Lake Como but fits perfectly on the English Riviera. The location is ideal being just a short walk from the harbour (perfect for boat owners), the beautiful harbour / waterfront promenade and of course the restaurants and shops in the centre. It’s also just a few minutes walk to Meadfoot Beach with its café overlooking the bay and a little further on to Ilsham Green, where dogs and kids can run around and play. We were very impressed by the secure driveway with ample parking, the beautiful house and the privacy offered by the large garden with its swimming pool. Thanks to the mild climate we were finally able to create a garden filled with exotic and Mediterranean plants. Moving from a very modern house to this historic period house was exciting; to design the various rooms with high ceilings and ornate details - according to our vision while still preserving their historic character. The modern, spacious and bright kitchen is the perfect gathering place to treat family and friends with delicacies. Enjoying breakfast in the conservatory and watching the sun set in the orangery while having a drink is one of the highlights of the day. In summer we also thoroughly enjoy the garden, sitting at different places and look at diverse perspectives. The outdoor area with its various terraces is perfect for entertaining and pool amenities. Despite the central location nights are surprisingly quiet - often all you hear are the hoots of the owl. It’s such a privilege to live at Mintons and we are aware that we’ll possibly never find an impressive home like this again”  STEP INSIDE Set privately within its own established grounds in Torquay, Mintons reveals its scale and elegance from the very first moment of arrival. An enclosed entrance vestibule—now fully usable year-round—provides a refined introduction, where elegant arch detailing above the doors and windows immediately sets the architectural tone. A striking front door with handmade glass opens into a breathtaking reception hall, where the influence of Herbert Minton is unmistakable. Here, exquisite encaustic tiles adorn both the floors and walls, creating a rare and visually rich centrepiece, framed by high ceilings and continued arch motifs. The principal reception rooms unfold beautifully from the hallway, offering both grandeur and flexibility. To the front, a refined study features decorative coving, an original bookcase, sash window with shutters, and an electric fire—an ideal work-from-home space or quiet retreat. The drawing room is a statement of classic Victorian elegance, with parquet flooring, ornate cornicing, and tall sash windows that draw in natural light and frame views of the gardens beyond. This flows seamlessly into the formal dining room, where an elegant ceiling and bay window—with direct access onto the verandah—create a perfect setting for entertaining. From here, the accommodation continues into a charming music room, complete with inset arched shelving and wooden flooring, offering yet another versatile reception space. Curved doors from the dining room open into a beautifully appointed conservatory, fully glazed and fitted with blinds, with double doors leading out to the south-facing gardens and swimming pool. The adjoining orangery mirrors this connection to the outdoors, providing additional, light-filled seating areas ideal for both relaxed living and hosting. A fully integrated Sonos sound system runs throughout these spaces, enhancing the home’s entertaining credentials. The kitchen, accessed from both the conservatory and the main hallway, introduces a more contemporary aesthetic without compromising quality. Thoughtfully designed, it features bespoke cabinetry in soft grey and cream tones, sleek granite worktops, and a substantial central island with breakfast bar. High-spec integrated appliances include a Rangemaster with five-ring gas hob, electric teppanyaki plate, twin electric ovens, grill, and slow cooker. Two atrium-style ceiling lights flood the space with natural light, complemented by motorised blinds, while a tiled floor ensures practicality. A separate laundry room and cloakroom complete the ground floor of the main house, with bifold doors opening onto a courtyard that connects seamlessly to the Butler’s flat. Steps lead down to a highly functional cellar level, offering extensive storage, plant systems for the swimming pool, and a dedicated wine cellar, carefully designed to maintain optimal temperature and humidity. This level also provides an additional cloakroom and internal access to a garage with electric door. The self-contained one-bedroom apartment is accessed independently from the front courtyard, offering excellent flexibility for guests, staff, or rental income. It comprises a characterful living room with ornate fireplace, a double bedroom, fitted kitchen, and a shower room, with access to the courtyard garden connected to the main homes kitchen.

The principal suite is particularly impressive, featuring wooden flooring, bespoke fitted wardrobes with integrated lighting, and a dual aspect that captures morning light. A luxurious en-suite completes the space, with both bath and double shower. Further bedrooms continue the theme of space and quality—each with fitted wardrobes and attractive outlooks over the grounds. One benefits from its own dressing room and en-suite via a split-level design, while another features a cleverly concealed en-suite. An additional bedroom has an en-suite bathroom, finished to an equally high standard, also accessed from the landing A further bedroom and bathroom, accessed from the landing, offer exceptional flexibility—either as a fifth bedroom for the main residence or as part of the adjoining Coach House. The Coach House itself presents a superb opportunity for multi-generational living or income generation. Connected internally yet capable of complete independence, it offers a fully integrated kitchen, dining area, and a striking vaulted living room with skylights, creating a wonderfully bright and spacious environment. A double bedroom with en-suite opens onto a private terrace, as does the living space, both enjoying elevated views. On the lower level, a generous entrance hall with cloakroom and storage leads to a further bedroom with en-suite—currently utilised as a gym. Externally, the cobbled courtyard—once used for horse-drawn coaches—adds further character and provides access to a garage, large workshop, and tool shed. Altogether, Mintons is a home of remarkable versatility—equally suited to grand family living, multi-generational arrangements, or those seeking supplementary income—without ever compromising on its sense of history, privacy, or architectural distinction. STEP OUTSIDE The grounds at Mintons are as impressive as the house itself—an established setting that perfectly complements the home’s grandeur, all set within one of Torquay’s most desirable residential enclaves. On arrival, a sense of seclusion is immediate. Automated gates open onto a sweeping driveway, where mature hedging provides natural screening and privacy, while discreet parking and an EV charging point cater effortlessly to modern living. Thoughtfully placed exterior lighting ensures the property is as welcoming by evening as it is by day. A charming covered verandah extends gracefully from the front porch along the drawing and dining rooms, offering a sheltered vantage point to sit and enjoy the grounds throughout the seasons—whether for morning coffee or evening drinks. Adjacent to the house, a generous patio terrace creates the perfect setting for al fresco dining and relaxed entertaining, seamlessly connecting indoor and outdoor living. As dusk falls, carefully positioned LED lighting enhances the atmosphere, casting a soft glow across the gardens and highlighting the property’s architectural beauty. The gardens themselves are beautifully established and thoughtfully arranged, with areas of level lawn framed by mature planting and a delightful rose garden adding colour, fragrance, and a timeless elegance. At the heart of the grounds, a further expanse of lawn features a striking central island, planted with sculptural palms and an ancient olive tree—evoking a distinctly Mediterranean feel. Meandering pathways wind gently through the gardens, creating a sense of discovery and quiet formality, while at the far boundary, a gated access leads conveniently onto Lower Woodfield Road. For leisure, a heated swimming pool (approximately 35’ x 17’) forms a true focal point—complete with a removable segmented enclosure, allowing for year-round enjoyment in complete privacy. Tucked discreetly into the upper corner of the garden lies a truly special and rare feature—a charming pavilion, richly adorned with original Minton tiles. Believed to be unique within the area, this exquisite structure provides a final nod to the home’s heritage and craftsmanship, offering a characterful retreat within the grounds.

A rare opportunity to acquire two properties - a distinguished five-bedroom period home with an additional detached three-bedroom property, both set within breathtaking gardens and grounds of nearly three acres, overlooking the picturesque River Great Ouse. The Old Rectory, a handsome waterside Grade II* listed residence believed to date from 1813, boasts elegant period features, including high ceilings, well-proportioned rooms, sash windows, intricate cornicing, exposed floorboards, and the original kitchen range. The accommodation comprises three reception rooms, five bedrooms, and two bath/shower rooms, offering a wonderful blend of character and space. The Coach House, a charming Grade II listed property converted in 1976, provides further flexibility. It features two reception rooms, three bedrooms, and two bath/shower rooms. A rare addition is the lift access from the ground to the first floor, making it an excellent choice for accessible living. The property also benefits from two independent office spaces, ideal for working from home or creating a separate studio environment. Set within magnificent mature gardens and grounds extending to just under three acres, the property enjoys stunning riverside frontage, providing a truly idyllic setting. A sweeping driveway leads up to the homes, offering ample off-street parking while ensuring privacy and a sense of grandeur. The central village location further enhances its appeal, making it an ideal residence for independent, multi-generational family living. This is an exceptional opportunity to acquire two period homes in an idyllic setting, offering flexibility, charm, and scope for personalisation. Seller Insight As the fifth generation of our family to call The Old Rectory home, it is hard to put into words just how special this place is, say the current owners. Nestled in the heart of the village yet set back from the road in a wonderfully private location, this former Georgian rectory has been the backdrop to countless cherished memories. With its high ceilings, arched windows, and generous reception rooms, it has been a place of celebration, gathering, and quiet retreat. The house sits on an expansive plot, surrounded by beautifully maintained gardens that wrap around the property, the owners continue. The front lawn, once home to a grass tennis court, has hosted everything from village flower festival teas to family weddings. The rear garden extends down through the orchard to the river, where a landing stage and boathouse provide the perfect launch point for punting, rowing, and summer picnics along the water. The Wellingtonia tree, planted in the early 1850s to commemorate the Duke of Wellington, stands as a proud testament to the property's history. Inside, our favourite space has always been the drawing room, with its bay window and French doors leading out to the garden, the owners say. This is where we gathered as a family—four children, then grandchildren—to toast crumpets on the fire at Christmas; or with all of our friends and neighbours for our mother's famous Christmas parties for nearly 100 guests! The kitchen, remodelled in 2013, opens into a breakfast room and yard, linking to the boot room for practicality. Other upgrades include a full rewire in 2018 and a new lead roof on the sitting room bay window just last year. Beyond the main house, the Coach House offers independent living, thoughtfully converted by our architect uncle in 1976 and further enhanced in 2013 with a lift, an expanded kitchen-dining area, and a sitting room with French doors overlooking the river. It enjoys its own peaceful garden, making it a perfect retreat. The local area has much to recommend it, too. The village of Hemingford Abbots itself is an idyllic place to live, with a thriving community spirit centred around the church, village hall, and nearby pub. Excellent schools, both state and private, are within easy reach, and transport links to Cambridge, London, and beyond make this an ideal countryside escape with city access.
