SELLER INSIGHT “Living at 7 Victoria Park Road has given me the best of Exeter life, combining a peaceful, private setting with easy access to the city centre, Cathedral, and the independent shops, cafés and restaurants of Magdalen Road. Despite being so central, the house feels wonderfully secluded. The house has been a fantastic home, offering flexible space that has adapted easily to different stages of life. Whether entertaining friends, hosting gatherings or enjoying quieter days, there has always been plenty of room. The garden room in particular is a favourite space, filled with natural light and overlooking the garden. The walled garden is a real haven and surprisingly private for such a central location. The mature planting attracts an abundance of wildlife, and I have loved watching the many birds and squirrels that visit throughout the year. A particularly useful feature has been the Victorian side extension, which provides independent access to the upper floors without passing through the main house. This worked brilliantly as my family grew up, giving older children a little more independence, and could equally suit someone looking to run a business from home or create a separate workspace. I have also loved how walkable everything is, with excellent schools, parks and city amenities all close by. What I will miss most, however, is the character of the house itself. Its period features, generous proportions and sense of history create a warm and welcoming home that has been a joy to live in.” Outside The approach to the property is equally impressive. A wide entrance from Victoria Park Road leads to an extensive brick-paved driveway providing parking for up to four vehicles, whilst elegant stone steps with wrought iron railings rise to the front entrance. To the rear, the beautifully enclosed walled garden offers a peaceful and private retreat, thoughtfully landscaped around a central lawn with brick pathways and richly planted raised borders filled with flowering shrubs and seasonal colour. A sheltered seating terrace beneath the garden room provides the perfect setting for al fresco dining and entertaining, with direct access into the kitchen through French doors. Framed by mature planting and stone walling, the gardens extend to approximately 50’ x 43.5’ (15.5m x 13.2m), creating a wonderfully secluded oasis in the heart of the city. Despite its peaceful setting, the property remains exceptionally well connected, with Exeter city centre less than a mile away, excellent rail links to London from both Exeter Central and St David’ s stations, easy access to the M5 motorway and Exeter Airport offering regular connections, including flights to London City Airport.

SELLERS INSIGHT Manor House found us when we were giving the housing market a much-needed rest whilst on holiday locally. The moment we walked through the door we were aware of the warmth and peace. This unmistakable atmosphere has continued over the last 15 years. The beautiful garden brought joy and fruitful fulfilment to our retirement years. Finally, the peace and genuine friendliness of the village is priceless. STEP INSIDE Manor House offers the best of both worlds, a tranquil setting often described as the perfect slice of Devon, yet only 4 miles from a walk on the beach at Lyme Regis. Dating back to the 16th century, this Grade II listed home is rich in character and history. High ceilings, abundant natural light and generously proportioned rooms are a hallmark of this delightful home. A formal dining room, complemented by a separate breakfast room, offers flexible dining options for both family gatherings and more intimate occasions. The beautifully appointed kitchen, with its impressive dual-control electric Aga, provides a warm and inviting focal point, a true centrepiece to the home. From here, a stable door opens onto a patio with views stretching down the garden, perfect for alfresco dining or morning coffee. A discreet utility cupboard ensures everyday essentials are neatly tucked away. The sitting room is an inviting space to unwind, featuring an inglenook fireplace with wood burner, ideal for cosy evenings, or simply a spot to enjoy a book and admire the outlook from the attractive front aspect. Upstairs, the character of Manor House continues to shine. The principal bedroom is a generous retreat where history meets comfort, featuring a striking moulded stone arch and a stained-glass window that reflect the home’s heritage. Despite its historic features, it remains a practical and inviting space with built-in wardrobes and an en-suite bathroom. The three additional bedrooms are all spacious doubles, each with its own character and charm. The second bedroom is especially appealing, with views across the gardens and the added benefit of an en-suite shower room. A further well-appointed shower room serves the remaining two bedrooms. STEP OUTSIDE Sitting in a beautiful position opposite the historic village pond (known locally as Combpyne Harbour), The Manor House enjoys private, secluded gardens and woodland extending to 2.7 acres. A convenient driveway sits alongside the house, complete with an EV charging point. The gardens immediately surrounding the house are level and beautifully landscaped, with lawns bordered by established shrubs, trees, and flowering plants. Pathways meander through the grounds, leading to terraced areas of woodland that run the full length of the property, a haven for wildlife and a place of complete tranquillity. One of the lower pathways, known as The Nuns’ Walk, pays homage to the property’s historical and ecclesiastical past. As you wander past the summerhouse, a stone archway opens into a productive area of garden set aside for fruit and vegetables, complete with a useful store and workshop. At the far end of the grounds, a large level area with a concrete driveway and gated access to the road offers additional opportunities for garaging, workshops, or further development (subject to any necessary consents).

SELLERS INSIGHT What first drew us to the property, and what we have enjoyed so much over the last three years, is the wonderful sense of space, tranquillity and closeness to nature. With no near neighbours and an abundance of wildlife all around, it has been a true haven of peace and quiet. The shepherd’s hut and hot tub have added another lovely dimension to life here, giving us the chance to host friends and enjoy some very special get-togethers. We understand the previous owners also used the hut as a source of additional income, which may appeal to future owners. For anyone with green fingers, the polytunnel has been incredibly useful, complemented by a number of raised beds. It has also worked brilliantly as a log store, seasoning wood in as little as three months. One of the more unusual benefits for us has been the amount of garaging and parking. As car enthusiasts, we have loved being able to keep up to five cars under cover within the two large garages, with further space available on the driveways and hardstanding. We are only moving because we are ready to downsize. With around three acres here, it offers more land than we now need, but for the right buyer it provides a wonderful lifestyle opportunity in a peaceful and private setting. STEP INSIDE Positioned to make the very most of its commanding views across the Somerset countryside, Sanford House enjoys a beautiful south-facing aspect and offers spacious, adaptable accommodation with excellent flexibility. The principal sitting room has been thoughtfully designed to maximise the outlook, with no expense spared, including pocket doors that slide seamlessly into the wall to frame the views and create a wonderful connection to the outside. In cooler weather, a wood burner brings warmth and atmosphere, ensuring the room feels cosy whatever the season. A separate study provides a quiet space to work or retreat, while the generous dining/family room is equally versatile, enjoying lovely views, direct access to the gardens and the comfort of a further wood burner. The kitchen is beautifully appointed and well equipped with a range of integrated appliances, including double ovens and an induction hob, while the central island is perfectly placed to enjoy the outlook over the garden. Practicality has also been carefully considered, with a large utility room offering direct access outside and ample space for muddy boots, wet dogs or children after time spent outdoors. Even the boiler cupboard has been designed with useful drying space in mind. Upstairs, you are spoilt for choice with two bedrooms worthy of being the principal suite. At one end of the house, a superb bedroom enjoys a picture window that perfectly captures the views across the gardens and surrounding countryside, and is complemented by an air conditioning unit, ideal for warmer weather. Currently arranged as a gym, it is a wonderfully uplifting space that could easily inspire a workout with such an outlook. Adjoining is a luxuriously appointed shower room with a generous double enclosure. The second contender for the main bedroom is tucked further away, making it equally well suited as a private guest suite, and is also positioned to take full advantage of the stunning rural views. Its en suite bathroom is beautifully fitted, featuring a freestanding Lusso stone bath and separate shower enclosure. In addition, there are three further bedrooms and a well-appointed family shower room. STEP OUTSIDE Sanford House enjoys a beautifully peaceful and private setting, with uninterrupted views and a wonderful sense of seclusion. Offering much more than just a home, the property presents an exceptional lifestyle opportunity. An adjoining 2-acre paddock with its own vehicular access provides excellent versatility and is currently home to goats and chickens, although it could easily be adapted for equestrian use if desired. The property benefits from driveways on both sides of the house. To the left is a detached double garage with enclosed parking, while to the right there is a larger-than-average double garage, additional parking, and an adjoining timber studio with power connected. The beautiful sweeping level gardens adjoin open farmland and have been designed to make the very most of the glorious views. Interspersed with a variety of shrubs and mature trees, they create a wonderful backdrop for outdoor living and enjoyment. Tucked away in the far right-hand corner of the garden is a delightful shepherd’s hut with an adjacent wood-fired hot tub. This provides an idyllic retreat and has previously been used successfully as an Airbnb, with the right-hand vehicular access allowing for private guest parking. Alternatively, it is, of course, the perfect place for personal relaxation and enjoyment. Utilities and Services: Mains electricity, oil fired central heating (underfloor and radiators). Mains water.

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.

Sellers Insight “I will be very sad to leave Lion Court Lodge. This has been my much-loved home for 34 happy years, and I have always treasured the peace, privacy and tranquillity that comes with living on Dancing Hill. The views are something I will miss enormously. Waking up to the wildlife, with deer, woodpeckers and the dawn chorus, has been a real privilege. Some of my happiest memories have been spent around the swimming pool. On warm summer weekends, it has always been a wonderful gathering place for children, family and friends. Swimming and entertaining after dark, with the pool lights glowing and the stars overhead, has felt quite magical. After 34 years, the time has come for me to downsize. Lion Court Lodge now feels ready for a new family to enjoy everything it has to offer and to make their own special memories here.” Step Inside – The Main House Built for our clients some 34 years ago to exacting standards, Lions Court Lodge is a remarkable individual home, designed from the outset to provide generous and flexible accommodation for two families while making the very most of its elevated position and far-reaching views towards Somerset countryside including Glastonbury Tor and the Mendip Hills. The main house makes an immediate impression, with a stunning dining hall featuring a marble floor and bespoke stained-glass window. From here, a private internal door connects to the adjoining property, allowing the two homes to work together when required, while still retaining privacy and independence. The principal sitting room is an elegant and welcoming space, centred around a striking fireplace and enjoying views over the gardens and swimming pool. A separate garden room further enhances the living space, taking full advantage of the beautiful outlook across the gardens and surrounding countryside.

It is fitted with a range of units, integrated appliances and an oil-fired Aga, with ample room for a table and chairs for informal dining. A practical utility room provides useful additional workspace and direct access outside. The home was clearly designed around its setting, and this is particularly evident on the first floor, where a second sitting room connects to a stunning glazed viewing room with a small balcony. This exceptional space enjoys panoramic views across the gardens, countryside, Glastonbury Tor and the Mendip Hills, with air conditioning installed to ensure comfortable year-round use when the sun shines. There are a choice of principal bedrooms on this floor, including one with direct access onto the viewing room and a further double bedroom with en-suite shower room and wonderful views. Bedroom four/five was thoughtfully designed with teenagers or guests in mind, offering accommodation arranged over two floors, with a choice of sleeping areas, dressing space and an en-suite shower room Step Inside – The Adjoining Home The accommodation has been thoughtfully designed to provide a well-balanced and highly comfortable home in its own right. Arranged across the ground floor, it offers generous private accommodation with its own independent front door, while also benefiting from an internal connection to the main house, should the two homes wish to operate together. The accommodation opens into a modern kitchen/dining room, enjoying a pleasant front aspect and fitted with a range of contemporary units and integrated appliances. From here, bespoke oak and glass doors lead through to a generous sitting room, creating an elegant sense of flow and separation between the living spaces. The sitting room is a particularly welcoming space, with French doors opening directly onto a private rear patio, ideal for morning coffee, outdoor dining, or simply enjoying a quiet outlook over the gardens.

Marsh Mill House is a charming and historic home, positioned within the Quantock Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Dating back to the 17th or 18th century, this versatile seven-bedroom home is being offered to the market for the first time in nearly 60 years, presenting a rare opportunity to acquire a much-loved family home rich in character and heritage that is now ready for updating. Set within approximately 1.5 acres of established gardens and benefiting from a further 1-acre paddock, the property enjoys an idyllic and private setting surrounded by rolling countryside. A range of useful outbuildings offer excellent potential for a variety of uses—whether as workshops, garaging, or even scope for development (subject to any necessary consents). The house offers generously proportioned accommodation full of period charm and now offering the next owners an exciting opportunity to modernise and reimagine the space while preserving its historical integrity. Whilst the property has a wealth of character it is not currently listed. Great Wood, a vast expanse of ancient woodland of over 900 acres, lies just a short distance away, offering a haven for walkers, cyclists, and nature enthusiasts. Additionally, the nearby village of Nether Stowey provides local amenities with shops (one with a post office) church, village hall and pub and a strong sense of community. SELLER INSIGHT When Mum and Dad told us that they’d bought Marsh Mills at auction, it was a dream come true. It meant a move close to our grandparents on the edge of the glorious Quantocks, where we had spent many happy weeks in school holidays. We would live in what seemed like a mansion to five little girls under ten! We would each have our own bedroom; we’d be able to keep hens and a pony. We’d get lost in the maize of box hedges in the beautiful big garden and walk to the village school – now the Village Hall. We would play outside for hours in the garden and surrounding countryside, coming in when the bell above the kitchen rang out across the fields. In the years that followed the old house has been the happiest of family homes, populated by an assortment of chickens, ducks, geese and peacocks; sheep, horses and ponies, not to mention cats and dogs, many of them waifs and strays, who always found a welcome here, along with friends and relatives who needed a place to stay for a while – and five generations of our family, at times four simultaneously under one roof. It’s worth mentioning that long before our time the house welcomed such illustrious guests as the famous romantic poets, Coleridge, Southey and Wordsworth, who were dining at Marsh Mills with the Revd John Poole, when they heard of the death of Robespierre in 1794. It has been a joy and a privilege to call Marsh Mills our home, with its rich history, warm embrace and treasured memories. But it’s time to pass the baton, and we are sure, that whoever takes it up will love Marsh Mills as we, and previous families, have done. The fact that the house has been owned by only four families over the past 250 years speaks for itself! STEP INSIDE Marsh Mill House is rich in original features that speak to its heritage and character. From the flagstone flooring and original staircase in the entrance hall to the butler bell system and the vaulted barrel ceiling on the landing, every corner offers a glimpse into the property’s storied past. On the ground floor, you're truly spoilt for choice. The formal dining room, drawing room, and sitting room all enjoy immediate access to the gardens, creating an effortless flow between indoor and outdoor living. A further additional reception room to the rear features an eye-catching Art Deco-style staircase leading to the first floor, adding another layer of period charm. At the heart of the home, the large farmhouse-style kitchen retains its original external bell, once used to call the family in for meals—a delightful and rare detail. Meanwhile, the former game/hanging room has been transformed into a spacious and practical laundry/boot room, complete with original brick flooring. The first floor can be accessed via two staircases and enjoys beautiful views over the surrounding countryside. A choice of seven generously sized double bedrooms also enjoy the views, along with an additional nursery or study. With three bath/shower rooms, the layout caters comfortably to modern family living while retaining the property's historic charm. STEP OUTSIDE Double wooden gates open onto a sweeping driveway, which passes the front of the property and leads to a generous parking and turning area in front of the former cowstalls and stable block. These outbuildings have been partly converted and updated, now offering triple garaging with a games room above, while the original stables still feature charming cobbled flooring and traditional stalls. Adjoining the stables is a large workshop (with vehicular access to the road), a tack room, additional stable, all providing immense potential. Subject to the necessary consents, these buildings offer a fantastic opportunity to create additional living or ancillary accommodation, home office space, or leisure facilities, depending on your needs. The private gardens extend to approximately 1.5 acres and benefit from excellent sunlight throughout the day, thanks to their favourable aspect. Immediately to the front of the house, the gardens adopt a more formal style, with a beautiful array of mature trees, shrubs, and flowering plants framed by neatly clipped box hedging. Meandering pathways guide you through the grounds, past the gardener’s store, and towards a former lawned tennis court, which now provides an additional area of level garden—an ideal space for entertaining or relaxing, with lovely views over the surrounding fields. Adjacent to the property is an additional enclosed paddock of approximately 1 acre, enjoying good road access and the benefit of a mains water connection ideal for equestrian use or a smallholding. SERVICES Private drainage, mains water and electricity are connected. We encourage you to check before viewing a property the potential broadband speeds and mobile signal coverage. You can do so by visiting https://checker.ofcom.org NOTES An insurance claim for subsidence was made in 2003. The associated remedial works included the removal of one oak tree and a Garrya shrub from the garden, as well as internal redecoration. Structural repairs were minimal and primarily involved in filling historic cracks with cementitious grout and re-plastering. No significant structural intervention was required. A new structural survey in 2025 considers Marsh Mill House to be in a reasonable condition for a property of its age and type. The observed cracking is judged to be the result of long-term, historic movement over a minimum period of 21 years. All cracks identified fall within Categories 0, 1, or 2 of the BRE Digest 251 classificatio, meaning they are considered minor and suitable for routine cosmetic repair as part of normal redecoration.
