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.

Desford LE9 Desford is a village situated in the south-west of Leicestershire, benefitting from all the merits of its countryside location while also being close to motorway and rail networks that crisscross this east Midlands region. It is only seven miles west from Leicester’s city centre, with its multi-cultural restaurants, theatres, museums, galleries, rich retail selection and attractions such as the King Richard III exhibition. From Desford, the closest motorway links are the M1 and M69 toward Enderby. There are train stations at Rugby for links to Birmingham and Narborough for links to Leicester, with trains running regularly from there to London St Pancras International. East Midlands Airport (EMB) and Birmingham Airport (BHX) are the closest airports. Desford or ‘Deor’s Ford’ was first recorded in the Domesday Book of 1086 but is possibly of Anglo-Saxon origin, being based on a significant hill 400 feet above sea level. St Martin’s parish church dates from the late thirteenth century and the village centre has a selection of Grade II listed buildings including a timber framed manor house and service buildings from the 1600’s. The Baptist Church on Chapel Lane was constructed in 1866. All combine to mark the centuries that have passed in Desford, including the present development of homes. The original settlement predates the Norman Conquest. In one of many Enclosure Acts of the eighteenth century the predominant farming community were forced to become invested with industrial economics and then, with the dawn of the Industrial Revolution, came the railway. A railway station was built linking established lines to larger towns and cities. It was closed to passengers in 1964 and then to freight in 1984. A half winding wheel on Lindridge Lane is a permanent reminder of the era and today Caterpillar Inc. are a significant employer in the area, having repurposed the old Desford aerodrome. Today, the bustling village is part of the Harborough district of Leicestershire and is within a half hour drive of Enderby, Kirby Muxloe, Market Bosworth and Kirkby Mallory. Although it has existed for centuries, this large village continues to appeal to the community through a wide selection of sport, (Sport in Desford Clubhouse with new Scout hut and tennis courts) education and leisure amenities. There is an array of shops, a library, cafes, a pharmacy and parks. Public houses include The Lancaster close to the old railway station and the Bluebell Inn in the village centre.

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. From village regattas and footpaths leading to charming local cafés, to birdwatching on the common and National Trust sites nearby, there is a wealth of outdoor pursuits to enjoy. Village Information Hemingford Abbots is a highly sought-after conservation village, renowned for its charming period properties, historic church spire, and beautiful riverside walks.

Behind private timber gates and approached by a magnificent tree-lined driveway, Rookery Farm unfolds as one of Somerset's most compelling private country estates. Set within approximately 70 acres of beautiful Mendip countryside, this exceptional holding combines a substantial six-bedroom period farmhouse, a newly renovated three-bedroom annexe, extensive equestrian facilities, indoor leisure complex and over 11,000 square feet of agricultural warehousing, creating a rare opportunity to embrace an unrivalled rural lifestyle. Dating back to the 17th century, the handsome stone farmhouse forms the centrepiece of the estate, surrounded by mature gardens, open pasture and far-reaching countryside. Extending to over 8,000 square feet, the main residence effortlessly balances period character with modern family living. A welcoming reception hall, complete with a traditional turning staircase and galleried landing, leads to an array of beautifully proportioned reception rooms where stone fireplaces, exposed timbers and mullioned windows provide warmth, charm and a tangible sense of history. The kitchen and family room is undoubtedly the heart of the home; a space designed for modern country living where family breakfasts evolve into relaxed entertaining, and where the changing seasons are enjoyed through views across the gardens and estate beyond. Complementing the principal residence is a beautifully renovated detached annexe extending to approximately 1,159 square feet. Recently transformed to an exceptional standard, the accommodation blends contemporary styling with character features and includes a stunning open-plan living space centred around a striking Crittall-style internal door. Finished to a high specification throughout, the annexe offers three bedrooms and versatile accommodation perfectly suited to multi-generational living, guest accommodation, staff quarters or potential income generation. Leisure facilities are equally impressive. The indoor swimming pool complex and adjoining gym create a private wellness retreat, providing year-round enjoyment whilst opening onto the courtyard and beautifully landscaped gardens. Outside, the estate has been thoughtfully curated to create a landscape of beauty and practicality. Formal lawns, specimen trees, established hedgerows, ornamental ponds, a picturesque lake and a charming summerhouse with central fire pit provide endless opportunities for entertaining, relaxation and enjoying the tranquillity of the surroundings. For equestrian enthusiasts, Rookery Farm offers an exceptional setup with traditional stabling extending to approximately 1,713 square feet, paddocks, field shelter and planning permission for a full-size arena. The surrounding acreage provides excellent grazing and riding opportunities, making the property ideally suited to both leisure and professional equestrian pursuits. A particularly valuable feature of the estate is its extensive agricultural infrastructure. Modern warehouse and agricultural buildings extending to approximately 11,346 square feet provide outstanding storage and operational capacity for farming enterprises, machinery, livestock management, equestrian operations or wider rural business interests. Few residential estates offer such a substantial and versatile agricultural asset alongside luxury family accommodation. The approximately 70 acres comprise a diverse mix of pasture, productive agricultural land and newly established woodland, creating both an attractive landscape and a practical landholding capable of supporting a variety of rural pursuits. Footpaths meander through the estate, inviting exploration and providing a deep connection to the surrounding Mendip landscape. Offering over 23,000 square feet of combined accommodation and estate buildings, Rookery Farm represents far more than a home. It is a complete country estate where family life, equestrian ambitions, agricultural interests and countryside living come together in perfect harmony. Positioned within easy reach of Wells, Bath and Bristol, this is a truly rare opportunity to acquire one of Somerset's most significant private rural residences.

Location: Coulsdon South mainline and Chipstead stations are within 1.5 miles providing routes to London Bridge, Victoria, Gatwick and the south coast. Trains from Coulsdon South to London Bridge take approximately 20 minutes. Chipstead is surrounded by open countryside ideal for walking and equestrian pursuits providing good riding and exceptional hacking. In terms of road communications the nearby A23 leads to the M25 (junction 7) and into London whilst, for the frequent traveller, Gatwick Airport is approximately 14 miles to the south. Locally there is a good choice of state and independent schools and the village is a vibrant location with a drama club and active sports clubs, including rugby, golf, tennis and football. The nearby towns of Reigate and Banstead also provide a comprehensive range of shops, boutiques, cafes and restaurants, including Waitrose and Marks & Spencer.

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.

Bifold doors frame idyllic views of the formal gardens, offering a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor living. The living room is a generous size and features exposed beams, original floorboards, as well as a feature wood-burning stove. uPVC double-glazed French doors open out to a striking south-facing timber and glass balcony, perfectly placed to capture sweeping views across the rolling countryside — an ideal setting for al fresco entertaining or peaceful morning coffee. The ground floor also benefits from a double bedroom, a modern family shower room, and a useful utility cupboard. Upstairs, the bedrooms enjoy far-reaching rural and coastal views.

Bedroom two features extensive fitted storage and a southerly outlook, while the third bedroom opens directly onto a private balcony — a perfect vantage point to enjoy dramatic sunsets year-round. Externally, the property continues to impress with extensive parking via a gravelled driveway, which also serves a timber double garage with electric door, power and lighting. The landscaped gardens are beautifully arranged with a variety of seating areas, including a covered deck with hot tub, thoughtfully planted borders, and a separate orchard/kitchen garden with a greenhouse and a beautiful pond with duckhouse. The land comprises two well-maintained paddocks with stock-proof fencing. The western paddock of approximately 1.1 acres benefits from a hay store/workshop, while the eastern paddock — measuring approximately 1.3 acres — features a field shelter, hardstanding and panoramic views over the surrounding countryside. Discreetly positioned with a high degree of separation, the Annexe is an exceptional, self-contained dwelling constructed with a timber and steel frame, allowing for vaulted ceilings throughout, and clad in low-maintenance cement fibre weatherboarding.
