The sweeping drive leads from the main road whilst also serving 5 other properties in part, leads you on a journey into the farmstead which, with its cob and stone colour washed elevations under a slate roof with PV panels on the southern side and pale green framed double glazed windows makes quite a statement. Bordering some of the formal garden with its post and rail fencing the drive leads around to an abundance of parking and many of the outbuildings and detached a bungalow beyond which the acreage extends.Coming into the reception hall you get a real sense of what owning this home is all about as here, there is honey coloured wood, a part glazed period door, and finefloor Off to one side is a boiler room, which also makes a very useful drying room and on the other a cloakroom. The dining room, which is found beyond the reception hall, features a substantial inglenook fireplacewith bread oven which really sets the tone for this room coupled with the large slate tile flooringand beyond glazed double doors lead you into the triple aspect drawing room which has more of a modern feel forming part of the two storey extension added on. This room has been designed around the orientation of the sun with double doors opening onto one of the many terraces this home has to offer and for the colder months, there is a log burner sat upon a raised hearth to cosy up to. These two connecting rooms will provide a great entertaining area for any new owner, as they have for the current Vendors. Coming back into the older part of the house you enter a large double aspect open plan kitchen/breakfast/family area interlinking with the drinks room all zoned into distinct areas with exposed stonework. The use of the slate flooringcontinues throughout this area, so it is simple to look after with any muddy feet or paws coming in for the outside.The kitchen over the years has been updated and now features extensive matching composite work surfacing with bistro counter for informal eating whilst leaving the main kitchen area with its units, AEG induction hob, extractor and Bosch oven and grill free for food prep and cooking.

Part of the gallery overlooks the family room downstairs.The main bedroom suite is an impressive double aspect room, forming part of the previously mentioned extension, having a large walk in dressing room before getting to the actual bedroom. The tiled ensuite is of a hotel standard having a double ended bath with floor standing swan neck tap with shower attachment, close coupled WC, large walk in shower and twin wash hand basins with associated walnut effect bathroom cabinetry.

The ramped access leads to an entrance hall, three bedrooms, bathroom with separate WC, sitting room, dining room and kitchen with conservatory off. Of recent years the kitchen and bathroom were renewed by the Vendors along with a new fuse box and upgrading of the electrics. This has proved to be a successful long term let although it would be ideal for relatives as both properties are close by but offer independent living.OutsideThere is plenty of parking with the bungalow having space for two vehicles.Within proximity of the farmhouse is a detached double bay timber garage 14’9 x 14’9, a detached workshop/studio 20’10 x 15’ and garage 22 x 19 with a twin pair of opening doors and a substantial detached standalone workshop 58’ x 19.

The main pasture runs away from buildings being edged by woodland on two sides and at the bottom there is a previously stocked lake of about two acres with further pasture/paddock beyond. The foliage and trees around the lake is overgrown but once cleared back would make a special place to just sit and enjoy the sounds of nature and the lapping of the water. There is a strategically placed summer house that would do with some upgrading or total replacement.GardensThese are found on two sides of the house with several terraces strategically placed to make the most of the orientation of the sun and one, to enjoy the view towards High Bickington and Exmoor on the horizon. A large, raised expanse of lawn contours around the terraces and gives ample space for children to run and play whilst post and rail fencing provides a boundary to the drive on one side and mature heading on another.Agents NoteAs agents we are advised as follows:The drive from the road is owned by the farm and any maintenance is shared based on the area of the drive used by the four neighbouring properties.

The other serves the remainder of the farm and the three cottages, each cottage paying two-sevenths of the emptying cost. The bungalow is currently occupied by a tenancy, and the rent includes water and sewerage. Some of the boundaries are owned by an adjacent landowner, one of the cottages. The vendor receives an annual fee for the telecom poles within the curtilage with one due to be renewed and repositioned away from the house.

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.

French doors open to a private balcony with courtyard views. Approx. 844 sq.ft. Each property has been designed to offer comfort, privacy, and versatility—making them equally suitable for guests, extended family, or inclusion in a larger group booking. 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. Despite the sense of seclusion, the property is remarkably well connected. The nearby town of Okehampton (around 8 miles) provides a full range of everyday amenities including supermarkets, cafés, independent shops, medical services, and schooling. It also benefits from a recently reinstated railway link offering direct trains to Exeter in under 40 minutes, and onward connections to London Paddington and beyond. To the east lies Dartmoor National Park—an iconic expanse of granite tors, wooded valleys, and wild moorland, perfect for walking, horse riding, wild swimming, or simply switching off in nature. The north Devon and north Cornwall coasts are both within easy reach, offering dramatic cliffs, sandy beaches, and excellent surfing. Exeter, around 30 miles to the east, serves as the region’s commercial and cultural hub, with extensive shopping, respected schools, sporting facilities, and an international airport offering flights within the UK and to selected European destinations.

It has previously been used as holiday accommodation, generating valuable income, and enjoys its own level and enclosed garden space.Our clients have lived at Blagdon for around eight years, during which time they have carefully and meticulously transformed it from a boutique hotel and restaurant retreat into a superb private residence. This transformation is now virtually complete, allowing incoming purchasers the opportunity to add their own final touches.Regardless, the quality of this property should not be underestimated.

This space has potential to be converted into a gym, studio or leisure area if the kitchen is relocated.In the historic west wing of the house, two further reception rooms provide both atmosphere and character.
