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.

Presented by James Cooper - Part of By Design’s network, with more than 25 years’ experience in the South Devon premium property market. Introduction Lillies is a striking contemporary home in a wonderfully peaceful position on the edge of Christow, within Dartmoor National Park and looking out across the Teign Valley. There is a calmness to the house that is immediately apparent. Light pours in through large expanses of glazing, the views are drawn into the main living spaces, and the layout has been designed to feel open, easy and sociable. Yet this is not simply a quiet retreat. Lillies is also a great house for entertaining, with generous open plan living space, terraces, bi-fold doors, a built-in wood fired oven and a natural flow between inside and out. It is the kind of house that works just as well for slow mornings and peaceful evenings as it does for parties, family gatherings and long summer lunches. Set in around 2.67 acres, with gardens, paddock, woodland, a triple garage and a separate studio, Lillies offers space, privacy and flexibility, sitting on the edge of Christow village, while still being in easy reach of Exeter, the A38, A30 and M5. The Inside The house has a distinctive contemporary design, with white rendered elevations, honey-coloured stone and a slate roof with deep eaves. Inside, the feeling is light, open and calming, with floor to ceiling windows helping to frame the outlook and bring the outside in. The main living space sits at the heart of the house. The sitting room, dining area and kitchen/breakfast room work together beautifully, creating a sociable layout that feels relaxed and practical for everyday life, while also being ideal for entertaining. The sitting and dining areas are interlinked and share an exposed stone wall with a double-sided fireplace, giving warmth and character to the contemporary interior. Large sliding doors open directly onto the terrace and garden, so in the warmer months the house can open up and flow naturally outside. One of the more unexpected features is the study space, accessed via a hidden bookshelf door off the living room. It is a lovely detail and gives the house a sense of fun, while also providing a useful quiet space for working from home, reading or escaping from the busier parts of the house. The kitchen/breakfast room is generous and well planned, with plenty of space around a large central island and a wide oak work surface for informal dining. It has a relaxed country feel, with farmhouse-style units, built-in electric appliances and a slate tiled floor, but the layout keeps it firmly part of the main living and entertaining space. A real highlight is the built-in wood fired oven, perfect for pizza, roasts or relaxed cooking whatever the weather. The bi-fold doors beside it open directly onto the rear patio, making this a brilliant space for hosting, with food, drinks and guests moving easily between the kitchen and outside. Also on the ground floor are a utility room, boot room and cloakroom, which are all valuable additions for a home with land, gardens and plenty of outdoor space. Upstairs, the part-galleried landing leads to four double bedrooms. The principal bedroom suite includes a large dressing room with built-in wardrobes, an en suite bath and shower room, and its own balcony overlooking the garden, grounds and the views beyond. The guest bedroom has an en suite shower room, while the two further double bedrooms are served by the family bath and shower room. Two of the bedrooms also have access to a further balcony, again making the most of the outlook. The Outside Lillies is approached down a lane, with a gated turn-off leading into a large gravelled parking area with space for several vehicles. One of the real strengths outside is the garage building. This is a substantial detached structure and far more than just garaging. On the ground floor there is a triple garage, providing excellent storage and parking, but the scale of the building means it could lend itself to a wide range of future uses, depending on someone’s needs. It could work well for car storage, bikes, workshop space, a gym, hobbies, or potentially something more ambitious, subject to any necessary permissions. Above the garage is a really spacious studio with its own shower and WC. This gives the property a huge amount of flexibility. It could make a fantastic home office, creative studio, guest space or ancillary accommodation to the main house. There may also be potential for it to be used as a holiday let, subject to the necessary permissions. The gardens wrap mainly around the eastern side of the house, where a paved terrace looks over the lawn and out towards the paddock beyond. The lawn is bordered by post and rail fencing, creating a natural divide between the immediate garden and the land. There is also a further paved terrace to the front of the house, which faces west and enjoys the evening sun, but it is the rear garden that really adds to the way the house can be enjoyed. From the kitchen, bi-fold doors open directly onto a large patio area, creating a natural entertaining space that works wonderfully, especially with the built-in wood fired oven. From here, a sloped path leads up to a level lawn, where there is a summer house with power. This could work well as a garden store, home office, studio or simply a quiet garden room, depending on how a new owner wants to use the space. A further path leads down the side of the property to a covered seating area, ideal for sitting outside when you want to escape the sun or enjoy the garden in a more sheltered spot. Together, these outside spaces give Lillies a lovely balance. It is peaceful and calming day to day, but also a brilliant house for entertaining, with space for summer lunches, drinks with friends, family gatherings and pizza evenings whatever the weather. Behind the garage is a small area of woodland and the paddock lies beyond the garden and is bounded by a stream along the northern side. Altogether, the gardens, paddock and woodland amount to approx 2.67 acres. Location Lillies is tucked away, but not isolated, on the western side of the Teign Valley within Dartmoor National Park. Christow village centre is approximately 0.7 miles away and offers a good range of local amenities, including a community shop, doctor's surgery, a primary school, church, pub and community hall. The surrounding countryside is a major part of the appeal. The property sits close to Tottiford and Kennick reservoirs, with Dartmoor, the Teign Valley and open countryside on your doorstep, making this a wonderful area for walking, cycling and enjoying the outdoors. Moretonhampstead is around 6 miles away and offers further day-to-day amenities, while Exeter city centre is approximately 10 miles away, providing a much wider choice of shops, restaurants, schools, transport links and cultural facilities. The property is well connected by road, with the A38 Devon Expressway just 7 miles away, the A30 around 8 miles and the M5 motorway within 10 miles. Exeter St David's station, around 10 miles away, offers regular high-speed services to London Paddington and Waterloo, while Exeter Airport is 15.5 miles away. There is a good choice of schooling within easy reach, including the primary school in Christow, and independent schools such as Stover School, Exeter School, Exeter Cathedral School and The Maynard.

The current owners obtained planning permission in 2019 to change the use of the property from C3 Residential Dwelling House to its present holiday let use. As such, buyers should be aware that the property is not currently permitted for unrestricted residential occupation as a C3 dwelling. Should a buyer wish to use Canonteign Manor as a private residential home, a change of use planning application would be required. By Design has contact with experienced planning consultants who are familiar with matters of this nature, and further guidance can be made available to interested parties should they require it. Buyers should make their own enquiries and take independent planning advice before proceeding. History A Domesday Manor, Canonteign was given to the canons of St Mary du Val in Normandy circa 1125 and later conveyed to the Prior and convent of Merton, in Surrey. After the Reformation it was granted to Lord John Russell and then passed through a series of owners. It was garrisoned for the King during the Civil War and taken by Fairfax in 1645. According to Lysons, it belonged to the Davy family in the 17th century. In 1812, Sir Edward Pellew, later Lord Viscount Exmouth, purchased the manor and it became a farm after 1828 when Exmouth built Canonteign House close by. It was restored by Lady Exmouth in the 1970s and, during recent years, the ancient house has been brought into the 21st century with extensive and sympathetic renovation. Today, Canonteign Manor is an extraordinary and beautifully maintained historic property, combining the character of its 400-year-old origins with the comfort and convenience of modern technology. It has been sympathetically cared for to ensure it continues to stand proudly for decades to come. Interior The real magic of Canonteign Manor is its generously proportioned and elegant rooms, which, although lit from mullion windows, are both tall and light. Most of the principal rooms have a focal point of a granite fireplace and enjoy spectacular views across the valley of the River Teign. From the main entrance, you step into the dining hall, an impressive space by anyone’s standards. With a stone floor, intricate wood panelling on the walls and beautiful stone mullion windows, it is a very special space indeed, with a substantial dining table which comfortably seats twenty guests. A large open fireplace provides a beautiful focal point. Moving through the dining hall, there is access into the cloakroom and rear entrance. There is also a staircase to the first floor. The kitchen has been very well designed to fill a large space without it feeling overwhelming. There is a large central island and plenty of storage. The AGA sits on one side of the room and the owner has added a large oven and hob to the other. Double doors open into the breakfast room, which has a grand fireplace with wood burner, creating another generous reception space. On the other side of the house, there is a spacious study, a snooker room and a formal sitting room. Each room has been decorated sympathetically in neutral tones to enhance the natural beauty of the building’s windows, stonework and period features. The main reception rooms are fitted with wood burners, creating inviting spaces in winter. The current owners have enhanced the property with LED lighting, refurbished bathrooms and carried out extensive work to the roof. There are two staircases which access the first floor, where you’ll find the bedrooms. The largest rooms are at either end of the house. The principal bedroom suite has been improved with the renovation of the ensuite to create a luxury space with high-quality fittings and finish. The principal bedroom is accessed via the dressing room, where there are numerous built-in wardrobes. The second and third bedrooms are also of a generous size and accommodate large four-poster beds. There are seven further bedrooms, all of which are bright, inviting spaces. They either have ensuite facilities or are very close to facilities. From the landing, a staircase takes you up to the second floor. The amount of space here is a real surprise, with exposed wooden beams, plenty of light and gorgeous elevated views across the grounds, valley and hills beyond. The main space here has previously been used as a comprehensive gymnasium but could suit a number of different uses, subject to any necessary consents. It leads into another substantial room which is set up as a games and TV room. It is large enough to create a cinema space if desired. Also on this floor are various store rooms, as well as a room with steam and sauna facilities and a further room currently set up as a massage/treatment room. The staff apartment, also on this floor, provides a generous living/dining room with lovely views, a fully fitted kitchen, bathroom and double bedroom. Exterior The house stands in simply landscaped grounds which include large areas of lawn and a park-like field providing space for grazing if required. The grounds are approached through a pair of electrically operated tall gates opening onto the gravelled drive, which leads to a generous parking and turning area beside the house. There is a further garden space to the far side of the house. Steps lead down to the outdoor swimming pool and large level lawn. The pool is currently decommissioned and may require attention before being brought back into use. This remains a lovely, private and sheltered area of the grounds to enjoy the sunshine. The grounds stretch to around 10 acres in total and gently slope to the lower boundary. The boundary is made up of mature trees, giving excellent privacy in all directions. Canonteign Manor is one of the South West’s most significant ancient houses. Presented in good condition and situated in a spectacular yet convenient location, it offers a remarkable combination of history, scale, privacy and setting. Location The nearest village is Christow, which also overlooks the Teign Valley and is popular due to both its location and good range of community facilities, including pub, village school, shop, sports fields, doctor’s surgery and clubs. Bovey Tracey, the popular town on the edge of Dartmoor, is around 10 minutes’ drive away. You’ll find a range of amenities there, along with the popular Devon Guild of Craftsmen. Exeter is a short drive away, accessible either via the A38 dual carriageway or the very scenic Teign Valley road and B3212.

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.

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.

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.

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
