luxury real estate for sale Totnes, United Kingdom

Presented by Ian Bransdon, part of By Design’s network and trusted for more than 30 years in the South Devon property market. INTRODUCTION Tucked away in a peaceful semi-rural setting, Westerland Dale is a substantial and versatile detached home offering 6,172 square foot of spacious and flexible accommodation to suit a wide range of lifestyles. Originally constructed in the 1960s and owned by the same family for the last fifty years, the property has been significantly extended over time, most notably with the addition of an impressive indoor swimming pool complex that must be seen to be fully appreciated. Currently arranged as a five bedroom home over two floors, the layout includes four bedrooms on the first floor, along with a generously proportioned ground floor master or guest suite complete with en suite facilities. There are four reception rooms, three of which are part of the main house, with a sizeable fourth located above the garaging offering excellent potential for annex conversion or alternative use. The stunning indoor pool complex is a real highlight, featuring direct access to a large south facing sun terrace, ideal for entertaining or relaxing. Car enthusiasts will be delighted by the extensive parking and twin double garages, with the larger garage accommodating up to four vehicles and incorporating an inspection pit. The second garage also offers room for two cars and further space could be created by removing built-in cupboards and storage units. Set behind wrought iron gates and surrounded by well screened borders, Westerland Dale occupies a 0.79 acre plot with easy to maintain wraparound gardens. There's ample parking to the front of the garages, and attractive countryside views can be enjoyed from various parts of the grounds. While the property would now benefit from some modernisation and perhaps reconfiguration to suit contemporary tastes, it offers an exciting opportunity to create a truly outstanding home in a prime location. An early viewing of this lovely family home is strongly recommended to appreciate the scale and potential on offer. THE INSIDE Deceptively spacious and full of possibility, Westerland Dale is nestled in the peaceful hamlet of Westerland, near Marldon. The home offers generous living accommodation, an impressive leisure space, and exciting potential to update or reimagine the property as a contemporary family residence or even a Grand Designs style project. Set across two floors, the layout includes a series of flexible reception rooms arranged off the central hallway and kitchen, as well as a welcoming sun room to the front. The two principal reception rooms lead directly to the outstanding indoor swimming pool complex, which features its own shower room, sauna and changing area, whilst opening directly onto the south facing sun terrace. This space could easily be reconfigured to form a spectacular open plan kitchen/living area with its seamless access to the outdoors. Also on the ground floor is a study or additional bedroom, along with a spacious guest or master suite with en suite facilities. Upstairs, there are four further generously sized bedrooms many enjoying lovely views over the surrounding countryside as well as a family shower room/WC and there is scope to create an additional bathroom if desired. The large dual aspect fourth bedroom connects to a landing area with stairs heading down to the garages with a substantial reception room positioned above. This expansive space lends itself perfectly to conversion into a luxurious master suite, separate guest accommodation, or even a self-contained annex. Both double garages offer extensive secure parking. The larger garage includes space for up to four vehicles and an inspection pit, while the second can accommodate two cars and could be reconfigured to suit further needs. Together, these spaces open the door to exciting design possibilities that could enhance the home's layout and function even further. STEP OUTSIDE A set of private wrought iron gates leads onto the spacious driveway, with ample parking in front of both garages. As with the house itself, the grounds of Westerland Dale are surprisingly extensive, with large lawns wrapping around the property and offering an ideal canvas for keen gardeners or those seeking outdoor entertaining space. The gardens are bordered by mature hedging and planting, ensuring a high level of privacy and creating a peaceful, secluded environment. There are countryside views from several vantage points within the grounds, adding to the charm of this idyllic setting.

We needed considerable space, and the size and proportions here were perfect. While considerable work was required to bring the property up to our own standards, that never concerned us – the location and the sheer scale were exactly what we were looking for, and everything else we could improve.Since owning the property, we have comprehensively upgraded it throughout, including Cat 5 cabling, new plumbing, full redecoration and new fittings. Every floor came up and every ceiling came down, effectively rebuilding and reconfiguring every aspect of the building and bringing it back to life. We wanted generous rooms, flexibility of space and elevated views, all of which Stuart Lodge provides.It has been a wonderful large home for us and has suited our needs perfectly. Unfortunately, our circumstances have now changed, and with them, our requirements, which is why we have made the difficult decision to sell.As a former hotel, the property also offers tremendous business potential. We have already created two self-contained apartments and have had plans drawn up to reconfigure the building further, including options to create up to eight apartments or fourteen HMO units. If we were younger, we would absolutely undertake this project ourselves. The works required are relatively modest in the context of the building, and the potential income could be substantial, in the region of £70,000 per annum.The beauty is that you could enjoy living in a magnificent home and have substantial income from a variety of letting possibilities at the same time – with no contact with your tenants, Stuart Lodge is a truly special opportunity.”LOCATION Stuart Lodge affords a pleasant, elevated position off Rousdown Road, with some pleasant Bay views from the front aspect of the property and first floor level in particular. This exceptional Villa offers easy access into Chelston's shops, Torquay town centre, the harbour and the Royal Torbay Yacht Club.

Introduction Overcrag is a detached property arranged over two floors, covering 2,965 square feet. Although the property is generally in good condition, it would benefit from reconfiguration to maximise its location and align with contemporary coastal home design trends. This is an opportunity to fully embrace the stunning views and exceptional location. Seller’s Story When the chance to purchase Overcrag arose in 2014, we knew it was meant to be our home. Already residing on Rock End, we were aware that few properties offer such a dramatic position with uninterrupted sea views. The building was in its original state, and over the years, we have made enhancements to meet our needs. However, with a house like this, it is the plot that stands out, and a new owner might wish to redesign it according to their own preferences. In our view, the location is unparalleled in Torbay. We relish the outstanding views and the convenience of being just minutes' walk from restaurants, theatres, Torquay Marina, and Meadfoot Beach. The Inside The property’s entrance opens into a welcoming hallway. Bedrooms on either side offer potential for repurposing, such as transforming them into a study or hobby room. Continuing down the hallway, you’ll find an inner hall providing access to two guest bedrooms, each with its own en-suite shower room, as well as an additional shower room. Opposite the entrance hall, double doors open into the kitchen breakfast room. This ‘L’-shaped space extends into the garden room and living room. There is also a door leading to the double garage and storage area. The sun room capitalises on the panoramic bay views, featuring windows that span from side to side and French doors opening to the garden. The spectacular view from here could be further integrated into the current layout. The sun room seamlessly connects to the sitting room, which has a door leading back to the entrance hall. The living room is a spacious area currently used as a home gym, offering magnificent views of the sea. The first floor is dedicated to the main bedroom suite, which makes the most of the views and includes an en-suite bathroom. The Outside At the front of the property, there is a generous parking area with access to the rear on one side. Additionally, there is a large raised flower bed and a double garage. The rear garden is designed over two levels, focusing on the view. The upper tier, accessible directly from the sun room, features a resin surface and a small lawn area. Steps lead down to the lower level, which includes a small greenhouse and a private gate leading onto the South West Coast Path.

INTRODUCTIONCommanding a magnificent position between Dartmoor National Park and the South Devon coast, Bickington Barton is an exceptional 16th-century grade II listed country residence that seamlessly blends historic charm with modern rural living. Set within just over six acres of glorious Devon countryside, this distinguished property offers a rare lifestyle opportunity — combining character, versatility, and breathtaking views in equal measure.Beautifully presented, the main house retains a wealth of period features, from exposed beams and granite fireplaces to graceful proportions throughout. The grounds encompass a range of traditional barns, a stable block, and a former piggery, presenting exciting potential for equestrian use or a thriving smallholding. With ample space and privacy, the property also lends itself to multi-generational living or guest accommodation, with scope to create an impressive annex or holiday retreat (subject to planning consents).Peacefully positioned on the edge of a charming rural village, Bickington Barton enjoys an idyllic countryside setting, offering an unparalleled Devon lifestyle of comfort, heritage, and natural beauty.HISTORYWith roots reaching deep into England’s early history, Bickington Barton occupies land first settled during the Saxon era and is recorded in the Domesday Book of 1086. The property forms part of a rich rural heritage, in the company of other period homes and barn conversions, all built around the 15th-century village church — a timeless setting that has evolved gracefully through the centuries.Once owned by the Bickford family, a name long associated with local prosperity, the estate bears a proud connection to William Bickford, inventor of the pioneering Safety Fuse in 1831 — a creation that transformed the mining industry by drastically improving safety of the miners.Many of the home’s original architectural features remain beautifully preserved, including granite pillars and fireplaces, and an exquisite plank-and-muntin screen, each echoing the craftsmanship of a bygone age.The surrounding landscape tells its own story. Just down the lane, The Dartmoor Halfway Inn recalls a time when farmers transporting livestock to coastal market ports would rest overnight — drawn by the fertile land and natural wells that sustained travellers and animals alike. Today, gazing across the rolling fields, it is easy to imagine the scene centuries ago — animals grazing on the same rich pasture and the enduring rhythm of rural Devon life continuing much as it always has.STEP INSIDEGranite pillars herald the entrance to Bickington Barton, inviting you into a home where history and character are woven into every detail. Upon entering, the reception room immediately impresses, featuring a large fireplace, wooden flooring, and a window overlooking the picturesque garden, complete with fitted wooden shutters. A beautifully preserved plank-and-muntin screen adds further historic charm, creating a welcoming space that truly oozes character.Adjoining the reception room, a cozy snug offers an intimate retreat, with its own fireplace and traditional window shutters, perfect for quiet evenings.The living room is a statement of grandeur and warmth, boasting parquet flooring and another impressive fireplace with a feature inset arch to the side which the current owners , decorate with seasoned logs. A door from the living room leads directly to an external porch, seamlessly connecting indoor and outdoor living.The kitchen is a bright, inviting heart of the home, designed around space for a central kitchen table, ideal for family gatherings. Solid oak worktops and wooden units frame an electric AGA with electric module, complemented by a bespoke mantel.

The property also includes a boot room, with a range of units, ideal as kitchen overspill plus access to the rear courtyard so ideal for bringing in dirty boots and pets. A cloakroom adds convenience with attractive tiled flooring linking to the boot room.Ascending to the upper floors, the property offers six generously proportioned bedrooms, arranged around a split-level landing that reflects the home’s historic character.The main bedroom is a particularly impressive space, once likely two separate rooms, now offering a spacious retreat complete with a modern ensuite, dressing room, and breathtaking views across the surrounding Devon countryside.Five of the bedrooms enjoy stunning vistas, with windows overlooking the front and side of the house and the sweeping landscape beyond. To the rear of the house is a highly versatile space easily serving as a self-contained annex, with a large bedroom, adjoining sitting space, ensuite bathroom, and a private entrance from the courtyard, ideal for guests, extended family, or potential rental use. The main bathroom is elegantly appointed, featuring a sunken bath, and wooden flooring.SELLERS INSIGHT“When we first discovered Bickington Barton, we instantly fell in love with its rural tranquillity and timeless charm. We wanted something that felt truly remote — surrounded by countryside and nature — yet still close enough to everyday life. Here, we found that perfect balance. The house is just minutes from everything — the moors, the coast, and nearby towns — yet when you arrive, it feels as though you’re miles from anywhere.As a family, we needed to be near good schools and local amenities, and honestly, we didn’t think we’d find somewhere that offered both practicality and seclusion. Then we found Bickington Barton — and it changed everything. It’s so quiet and private, and the setting has given us a lifestyle we only ever dreamed of.We always wanted to try our hand at a smallholding, especially while the children were young enough to enjoy it, and this property gave us the confidence to do just that. It’s given us all a new lease of life — fresh air, space, and the joy of living in tune with the land.We adore the character and history of the house. It’s incredible to think of the generations who have lived here before us, and the many centuries of stories within these walls. Every quirky feature — from the granite pillars to the old plank-and-muntin screen — adds to its charm, and we’ve loved every single one of them.As the children grew, the space here has been a blessing — everyone has room to spread out without ever feeling on top of each other. The bedroom at the rear has been ideal for visiting family and later became a perfect space for our eldest son, giving him independence while still keeping him close.Outside there are no limitations, life flows easily between swimming in the pool during summer, lounging or working in the garden, or tending to the animals year-round. Living here has brought us such a healthy, balanced way of life, and we’ll always be grateful for the years we’ve spent as part of this incredible home’s story. Now, it’s time for someone else to fall in love with Bickington Barton and make their own story.”STEP OUTSIDEThe front of Bickington Barton is approached via a private driveway, offering ample parking and a five-bar gate leading to the yard. A detached barn provides versatile storage and features an undercroft. Stone walling surrounds the garden, which is accessed via a picturesque gate leading to the front door. Multiple seating areas have been created to take full advantage of the stunning surrounding views, with raised decking offering a perfect vantage point to enjoy sunsets across the valley.

With breathtaking views over the coastline, this remarkable property is designed for those seeking both elegance and tranquility.Flooded with natural light, the spacious interiors span three floors and include five generously sized bedrooms and five bathrooms, offering comfort and flexibility for family life or entertaining guests.The garden is a standout feature — an oasis of calm inspired by the Italian Riviera.

This is a rare opportunity to own a peaceful and luxurious retreat in one of the South West’s most desirable locations.SELLERS INSIGHT“It was the garden that first drew me to Belton House. Having grown up in France, I had always dreamed of owning an orangery, and I knew I wanted an established garden, sea views, and — if I was lucky — a swimming pool. Belton House ticked every box.When I saw the wisteria bloom for the first time that May, I knew I’d found something truly special. For the past 15 years, I’ve poured love and care into creating a Mediterranean-style oasis, using no pesticides so that birds, bees, and butterflies could thrive here. Torquay’s unique microclimate has allowed me to grow a huge range of tropical and exotic plants that would never survive elsewhere in the UK.We moved here from London looking for a slower pace of life, proximity to the beach, and excellent schools. Meadfoot Beach is just a ten-minute walk away, and the local grammar schools and 20 nearby beaches made this an ideal location for our family. Despite the peaceful setting, we’re only minutes from Wellswood and its cafés, shops, and restaurants — and the Osborne Hotel is just down the road with an indoor pool and tennis court, which has suited our lifestyle perfectly.Inside, the house feels bright and spacious, with thick walls and large rooms that open up to the sea view. We later converted the attic to create even more space for our growing family. The layout has worked so well over the years — when the children were downstairs with friends, we could barely hear a sound!This home has been our sanctuary. We've hosted countless dinner parties and summer pool gatherings — it’s a sociable, open space, yet it often feels like we’re in the middle of nowhere. Our neighbours have become dear friends, and we’ve created so many memories here.The garden is my pride and joy and will be dearly missed. Belton House is unlike anywhere we’ve ever lived — it’s more than a home; it’s a lifestyle, a retreat, and a little piece of paradise.”STEP INSIDEHidden behind a substantial stone wall and sleek sliding gate, Belton House is a true coastal retreat.From the moment you arrive in the courtyard — where a large feature pond surrounded by mature planting fills the air with the soothing sound of trickling water — you’re immediately immersed in a sense of peace and Mediterranean charm.Step inside to a bright, open hallway, where natural light pours through vertical window panes framing views of the pond. White-washed floorboards and crisp, clean walls give the home a calm, continental feel. For convenience, there is a cloakroom and WC off the hallway.The generously sized living room enjoys stunning ocean views through two large windows. A sleek built-in media unit and electric fireplace add warmth and function, making this a perfect space to unwind. The living room flows seamlessly into the dining room, which has patio doors opening onto a balcony overlooking the side courtyard.The flow continues into the stylish, contemporary kitchen, where patio doors lead to the front terrace and pond, allowing indoor and outdoor spaces to blend harmoniously. At its heart is a large central island with an electric hob, integrated sink, and dishwasher. A wall of cabinetry houses the fridge, freezer, oven, and microwave, creating a highly functional and beautifully designed space.Also on the ground floor is a spacious bedroom suite featuring fitted wardrobes, two large windows framing coastal views, and a luxurious ensuite with both a bath and a walk-in shower.On the first floor, a landing leads to a guest WC and a superb bedroom suite complete with a large double bedroom, dressing room, and an ensuite wet room.

This level also features a well-equipped laundry room.Additionally, you'll find a study or library with fitted bookshelves, and a second reception room with patio doors leading out to the side courtyard — ideal as a garden room, home office, or additional lounge.USEFUL INFORMATIONServices - Mains gas, water, drainage and electric Tenure - Freehold Council Tax - Torbay Council (G £3,899.72) EPC - D Broadband - www.ofcom.org.uk

We knew we wanted to be close to the sea and within an established, executive road, and whilst we viewed other properties with perhaps more immediate kerb appeal, we instantly fell in love with the space and feel of Villa Nova.It’s a home that is incredibly bright, easy to maintain, and has adapted effortlessly to every stage of our lives. The lift has provided us with ease of living and the property has been fully accessible even with a wheelchair. When the family come to stay, there is more than enough room for everyone, yet it feels equally comfortable for just two—particularly in more recent years, where being able to live predominantly on one level has been such a benefit.One of the things we have loved most is the connection to the outside. Having access to the garden and terraces from so many rooms is a real joy—it allows you to truly live both inside and out, whether that’s enjoying a quiet morning coffee or hosting family and friends in the warmer months.The location has been equally special. From coastal walks and nearby shops to the ease of accessing further afield, it offers the perfect balance of lifestyle and convenience.We are moving to be closer to family, but we leave with a house full of memories and feel very fortunate to have called this our home for so many years.”

Passing over the driveway, you’re greeted by beautifully tended gardens that wrap around a sun-drenched terrace — the perfect spot for morning coffee or long summer lunches. Step inside through the front door and into a welcoming hallway, where a wide archway and high feature window hint at the character within. To one side, a spacious sitting room invites you to relax and unwind. Light pours in through dual-aspect windows and a wide sliding door that draws the garden right into the room. Across the hall, the second living room offers warmth and character in equal measure — complete with an ornate marble fireplace and rich wooden floors that speak to the home’s early 1900s origins. This room flows effortlessly into the open-plan kitchen and dining area: the heart of the home.

A stylish family shower room serves the remaining two double bedrooms, and all the showers are equipped with individual pumps, ensuring superb water pressure throughout.SELLERS INSIGHT“We moved into this home 27 years ago, with our young children and our dog, all eager for a change in lifestyle — something rooted in community, nature, and fresh air. After more than a year of searching for the right place, we were drawn to Ilsington, a village that felt just right from the very beginning. Ilsington is a rare gem. It’s wonderfully peaceful, yet far from remote. Just a short distance to the open wilds of Dartmoor and within easy reach of the South Devon coast, it offers the best of both worlds. Being only 10 minutes’ drive to the A38, we had quick access to major road and rail routes which was essential for work. Ilsington gave us the perfect balance between practicality whilst still living in the countryside. We are part of such a welcoming community with excellent amenities — a friendly village shop; run by locals, a lovely pub, primary school, tennis court and sports ground, all within walking distance. And the Ilsington hotel and spa is only a stone’s throw away, where we swim most days. There’s a genuine sense of belonging here, with local events, friendly neighbours, and a slower pace that encourages you to stop, chat, and enjoy life a little more. I still remember the morning I saw the For Sale board outside the house whilst driving through the village. We’d been searching for such a long time so I called the agent and viewed the property that afternoon. At the time, the house needed a little love, but it was full of light, had a wonderful flow, and just felt right. Since then, we’ve made it our own and created countless memories; we’ve hosted big family celebrations for milestone birthdays; with music on the terrace and had big family Christmases: some of our best memories made are the quiet days at home, games in the garden, countryside walks, board games in the living room, the kids doing their homework at the dining table.The garden wraps around the house, with sunshine at every time of day, and the stables have been brilliant for storing all our stuff from bikes to lawnmowers. It’s been an ideal home for us and a peaceful one too, where you can hear the birds and truly enjoy the stillness. Now that our children have grown up and moved away, it’s time for us to turn the page and move on to the next chapter in our lives. This home, and this village, have given us so much — we hope it does the same for its next owners.”

Introduction Grey Gables is a house of real stature. Grade II listed and rich in character, it stands within beautiful mature grounds on the edge of Bovey Tracey, combining the feel of a country house with the convenience of a well connected market town nearby. Dating back in part to the 16th century, it is a home with depth, presence and a fascinating story behind it. What is especially appealing today is the work that has already been done. During the current ownership, substantial investment has gone into the important areas of the property, including a new roof, lead work, drainage, exterior landscaping and management, along with an enlarged drive and additional parking area. The result is a handsome and deeply atmospheric home where much of the essential work has already been tackled, leaving the next owner free to focus on enjoyment and to bring their own decorative vision over time. History Grey Gables has evolved over centuries and its story is woven into the history of Bovey Tracey itself. Records suggest there has been a substantial house on the site since at least 1765, though the origins of the property reach further back, with references to an earlier building in the 1600s and evidence of former foundations within the grounds. Over time the house was altered and enlarged, and at one stage took on the form of a Georgian house with a granite wraparound. In the mid 19th century the house, then known as The Vicarage, became associated with Canon Charles Leslie Courtenay, appointed Vicar of Bovey Tracey in 1849. His wife, Lady Caroline Margaret Somers Cox, had close links to Queen Victoria, and the house is said to have enjoyed royal associations during that period. Grey Gables was restored in 1854, and later passed into private ownership following the war. Its long history can still be felt throughout the house today, not just in its architecture and detailing, but in the sense of permanence that runs through it. The Inside The approach to Grey Gables sets the tone, and once inside, the house opens beautifully. An imposing oak front door leads into a generous reception hall, from which the principal rooms unfold. One of the most memorable spaces is the chapel, with its vaulted rib ceiling and leaded light windows, a remarkable room that speaks directly to the property’s past. The morning room, drawing room, dining room, garden room and office all add to the scale and versatility of the accommodation. The drawing room and dining room now flow more openly, with the former doors between them removed, giving these two principal rooms a better sense of connection for modern living and entertaining. The former butler’s pantry and snug have also been combined to create a larger and more practical space on the ground floor. Elsewhere, the house is full of period atmosphere, from the Ashburton marble fireplace in the morning room to the stone mullioned windows, bay window, wood burner, old safe and the extensive cellar spaces below. The cellars themselves are a wonderful feature, offering excellent storage and further flexibility. The kitchen is generous and characterful, with high ceilings and original detailing, and is supported by a useful adjoining utility room. Upstairs, the accommodation is arranged across two linked landing areas and includes six double bedrooms, one en suite and two further bathrooms. The layout gives the house breadth and flexibility, whether for family life, visiting guests or multi generational living. Several of the bedrooms enjoy lovely outlooks across the surrounding area. The Outside The grounds are a huge part of Grey Gables’ appeal and now extend to around 2.15 acres. They provide privacy, variety and a lovely sense of escape, while still leaving the town within easy reach. A long private drive leads through granite gateposts to the house, where the enlarged driveway and additional parking area make arrival and everyday practicality much easier. There is also a large garage with space for storage and vehicles. The principal terrace is south facing and looks out across the lawns towards the surrounding landscape, creating a natural setting for outdoor dining, entertaining or simply sitting in the sun. The gardens unfold in distinct areas, giving them real interest. There are broad lawns, a woodland section with winding paths, a walled garden, productive spaces, greenhouse, fruit trees and a number of useful outbuildings including a potting shed, storage sheds and a lovely garden summer house. The overall feel is green, established and wonderfully private. Location Grey Gables enjoys an enviable position on the very edge of Bovey Tracey, close enough to walk into town for everyday needs, yet with a setting that feels calm and tucked away. Bovey offers a good range of amenities including shops, eateries, public houses, a health centre, post office and primary schooling. The location also works exceptionally well for wider access. Newton Abbot is around 15 minutes away and provides a mainline rail link to London Paddington, while the A38 gives straightforward access to Exeter, Plymouth and the M5. Dartmoor National Park is just moments away, with Haytor and the open moorland landscape close by, and the coast at Teignmouth, Shaldon and Torquay is also within easy reach.

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. A range of outbuildings adds further appeal, including a detached barn with store and hayloft, a large greenhouse, a two-storey barn, and an additional barn—ideal for a variety of uses.While steeped in history, Little Wolleigh embraces modern sustainable living. A biomass boiler, solar thermal water system, and solar panels provide an impressive low-carbon footprint, plus fibre throughout the premises including the art studio, ensures this period gem remains as practical as it is picturesque.STEP INSIDEApproaching the house, you’re greeted by a substantial front door—likely original—set within a striking granite surround, a fine example of the history woven into this property.You enter into the dining room, where oak panelling sets a rich tone. 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. Extended to create a luxurious cooking, dining, and entertaining space, it is designed with modern family life in mind. 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. Its en-suite bathroom—also accessible from the landing—features a freestanding bath set before a picture window, a large walk-in shower, and charming curved walls, reflecting the property’s age and character.Bedrooms two and three, in the original part of the house, are generous doubles, while bedrooms four, five, and six all enjoy countryside 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

Presented by James Cooper - Part of By Design’s network, with more than 25 years’ experience in the South Devon premium property market. Introduction Wolverwood is a bold and highly individual home, tucked away in a private hillside setting on the edge of historic Plympton St Maurice. Set within around 3.5 acres of gardens, terraces and paddocks, it offers privacy, versatility and a lifestyle that is increasingly hard to find so close to Plymouth, the A38 and wider routes into Cornwall and towards Exeter. What makes Wolverwood especially compelling is the way it combines two distinct parts into one highly adaptable whole. The contemporary section of the house provides striking modern living space together with three beautifully appointed bedrooms, while the original cottage offers three further bedrooms and its own characterful accommodation. This arrangement makes the property particularly well suited to multigenerational living, buyers wanting a home with lettable income potential, or those who run a business from home and need genuine separation between different parts of daily life. Alongside the house is a substantial detached commercial building with B1 category use, adding another valuable dimension for anyone seeking workspace, storage, studio, gym or business premises from home. The Inside At the heart of Wolverwood is a remarkable open plan kitchen, dining and living space extending to over 14 metres in length. It is a room designed for modern living on an impressive scale, bringing together strong contemporary styling with warmth, comfort and practicality. The bespoke kitchen is centred around a large island with breakfast bar seating and features an Everhot electric range, induction hob, built-in appliances, larder and utility. Copper toned details, Microcement finishes, feature lighting and exposed steelwork all give the space a polished interior designed feel, while the layout allows room for relaxed seating, dining and entertaining. A contemporary wood burner adds warmth and focus, making this a space that works just as well for everyday family life as it does for hosting friends. The modern side of the house also includes three luxury bedrooms, creating a superb main home environment that feels stylish, spacious and private. The principal suite is especially impressive, with triple aspect windows, a walk-in wardrobe, wet room ensuite, freestanding bath and access to a wraparound balcony. It has the feel of a boutique hotel suite, calm, beautifully finished and generous in scale. Two further bedrooms in this part of the house are equally well presented, each with their own strong sense of design and comfort. The original cottage provides a lovely contrast, bringing texture, warmth and a more traditional feel to the overall arrangement. Here, there is a formal dining room with a wood burner and garden outlook, a comfortable family room with slate flooring and French doors opening outside, and a characterful kitchen with oak worktops, fitted cabinetry and a glazed roof section drawing in natural light. This side of the house also provides three further bedrooms, giving real flexibility for dependent relatives, older children, guests or those looking to create income from part of the accommodation, subject to any permissions or requirements a buyer may wish to satisfy. Taken as a whole, Wolverwood is far more than a six bedroom house. It is a home that can evolve around different needs and stages of life, whether that means living across generations, balancing home life with supplementary income, or simply having the space to work, host and live in a more flexible way. The Outside Outside, Wolverwood is just as impressive. The grounds extend to around 3.5 acres and include gardens, terraces, areas of natural planting and small paddocks, all contributing to the sense of privacy and space. The property is fully fenced and entered via electric gates, giving it a secure and tucked away feel from the moment you arrive. Around the house are several places to sit, relax and enjoy the outlook. The cottage side has a more intimate garden feel, while the modern extension opens onto broad terrace and balcony areas that create a strong indoor and outdoor flow. There is ample parking for cars and vans, making the property highly practical for larger households, visiting guests or business use. A major asset here is the detached commercial building, which greatly broadens the appeal of the property. With B1 category use, it offers valuable flexibility for offices, storage, workshop use, fitness space or an established home run business, all clearly separate from the main house itself. For buyers wanting to combine lifestyle and work in one setting, this is a significant advantage. Wolverwood also remains registered as a smallholding, giving the next owner the option to keep livestock or make broader use of the land if desired. Location Wolverwood is positioned on the outskirts of historic Plympton St Maurice, with the town centre around 1.5 miles away for everyday amenities including supermarkets, schools, post office, banks and bakeries. Plymouth city centre is approximately 5 miles away and offers a much wider range of facilities, including grammar and private schools, Plymouth University, Derriford Hospital, theatres, cinemas, shopping, Royal William Yard and an excellent choice of restaurants. The ferry port also provides crossings to Spain and France. For buyers who value accessibility, the location works especially well. The A38 is easily reached, opening convenient routes towards Cornwall, Exeter and the M5, with Exeter approximately 40 miles away. It is a setting that gives you privacy and breathing space without losing touch with day to day convenience or wider transport links.

Internally, the accommodation unfolds with the scale, symmetry and ceiling heights so emblematic of the period, creating a home of genuine architectural presence.Reception space is both generous and versatile, thoughtfully arranged to provide an excellent flow for family life and entertaining alike.

Together, these elements celebrate the craftsmanship of the era, while the overall layout delivers the flexibility and practicality required for modern living.SELLERS INSIGHT“We have been incredibly fortunate to call Parklands home for more than thirty years, and it has truly been the most wonderful place to bring up our family. When we first arrived, we knew immediately that it was somewhere special — a house full of character, surrounded by beautiful grounds, and set in a landscape that feels endlessly inspiring. It quickly became our dream home.Our children have grown up here and absolutely flourished in this setting. There is something magical about living somewhere like this — the freedom of the gardens, the sense of adventure in the grounds, and the ever-changing landscape beyond. It offers everything you could hope for from a countryside home, and it has provided the backdrop to so many cherished memories as a family.One of the things we have loved most is the location. Lustleigh is such a special place and increasingly rare to find these days. There is a genuine sense of community in the village, and it’s something we’ve always valued enormously. Being able to walk into the village in just five or ten minutes has been a real joy — whether for the shop, meeting friends, or village events — yet when you return to Parklands, you feel completely removed from everything, as though you are a million miles away.The views are something we will miss deeply. Every window frames a different outlook across the gardens, trees and surrounding countryside. The landscape constantly changes — with the seasons, the light and even throughout the day — so there is always something beautiful to look at.Parklands has become such a part of us and our lives that it will always hold a very special place in our hearts. However, the time has come for a new chapter, and we hope another family will come here and start creating their own memories. We certainly know that we will never forget a single day of living here.”STEP INSIDEAn original timber door leads into a practical sun/boot room with stone paved floor — an appropriate prelude to a house so intrinsically connected to its landscape.

Presented by James Cooper - Part of By Design’s network, with more than 25 years’ experience in the South Devon premium property market. Introduction Combe Barn occupies a wonderful position on the edge of Lustleigh, one of Dartmoor’s most sought after villages. Set within approximately 8.30 acres of garden, paddock and woodland, the property offers a superb combination of space, privacy, village access and immediate access to the surrounding countryside. The house itself is far larger than it first appears, extending to approximately 5,358 sq ft and providing generous, flexible accommodation arranged over two principal levels. With five double bedrooms, impressive reception space, a striking vaulted living room and lovely views across the wooded valley, this is a substantial home in a very special Dartmoor setting. The current owners acquired Combe Barn in 2007 with planning consent in place to demolish and build a new dwelling. Rather than lose the character of the original barn, they saw the potential to retain and rebuild the barn element while adding a significant new wing. The project was completed in 2009, creating the spacious and individual home seen today. The Inside The approach to the house leads to an impressive covered entrance, opening into a large hallway. From here, the scale of the property quickly becomes apparent. There is a wide staircase rising to the first floor, a cloakroom, and excellent space for coats, boots and everyday country living. The hallway continues past one of the double bedrooms, which has direct access out onto the terrace, before opening into the main living room. This is one of the standout spaces within the house, with a high vaulted ceiling, galleried landing above, and a substantial stone fireplace creating a strong focal point. Two sets of doors open directly onto the terrace, where the outlook stretches across the wooded valley beyond. Beyond the living room is a substantial games room, currently arranged with a full-sized snooker table. This is a wonderfully versatile space and could suit a variety of uses depending on lifestyle. From here there is access to a further bedroom, an office and a bathroom, with a staircase leading up to the kitchen area. On the first floor, the galleried landing overlooks the living room below and leads into the kitchen breakfast room. The kitchen is fitted with modern units and enjoys views out over the grounds and down the valley. A door also provides direct access outside, adding practicality to the layout. An opening leads through to the dining room, another generous space with a window to the side, three rooflights and a glazed wall overlooking the living room. It creates an enjoyable connection between the main living areas while still giving each space its own identity. At the other end of the landing are three large double bedrooms. The principal bedroom has a staircase leading down to a particularly large bathroom and dressing room, creating a private suite with excellent proportions. The Outside For those who enjoy the outdoors, Combe Barn offers a wonderful amount of space and variety. The property sits in approximately 8.30 acres, made up of gardens, paddock and woodland, giving a real sense of privacy and freedom. The terrace is positioned to make the most of the views across the valley and provides a lovely place to sit, eat outside or simply enjoy the surroundings. From the land, you can walk through towards the community orchard and into the village, which adds enormously to the lifestyle appeal of the property. There are two driveways, a garage and an old stable, currently used for storage. The mix of garden, woodland, paddock and outbuildings gives the property flexibility, whether for family life, outdoor hobbies, animals, or simply enjoying a quieter Dartmoor lifestyle. Location Lustleigh is one of Dartmoor’s most attractive and popular villages, known for its pretty period homes, strong community, surrounding countryside and access to some of the National Park’s finest walking routes.

Introduction Beadon Farm is a rare kind of property, not just because of its setting, its scale, or its privacy, but because of the way it makes you feel. Hidden within a private valley on the eastern edge of Dartmoor National Park, this remarkable home sits at the heart of its own 63 acres, a peaceful and fully self-contained hamlet surrounded by ancient woodland, wildflower meadows, and re-wilded pasture. What sets Beadon apart is the care that’s gone into every part of it. The land has been restored with ecological purpose. The buildings have been brought back to life with impeccable craftsmanship. And the entire property has been shaped by a clear, long-term vision, one rooted in flexibility, sustainability, and calm.  Teams of stone masons were brought in to rebuild old walls and create entire new walled gardens.  A local blacksmith designed bespoke metal gates featuring foxglove and birds that are now a timeless signature of the farm.  At its core, Beadon Farm is about connection. With nature, with others, and with the kind of lifestyle that’s becoming harder to find. This is a home that offers space, seclusion and possibility, a place to live, retreat, share or simply enjoy. And while it feels a world apart, it remains well connected to Exeter, the coast, and London beyond. Seller’s Story When we first arrived at Beadon Farm, we were looking for somewhere quiet, somewhere we could live in a more thoughtful and connected way.  Easily sourcing organic meats from local butchers, amazing fresh seafood from the Ashburton fish deli and the weekly deliveries from Riverford Farm all supplement the organic greens grown at Beadon Farm that made this location perfect.   While we had ideas of how we saw our renovations evolving, what unfolded over time was shaped by the land itself, and by a simple desire to create a home that felt calm, restorative, and in tune with its surroundings. Working closely with local specialists and Dartmoor National Park, we focused on bringing balance back to the valley. We’ve restored hedgerows, expanded habitats for pollinators, and added more than 40 mature trees. We’ve shaped walking paths through the ancient woodland, and have done everything we can to protect and encourage biodiversity. At the same time, we’ve restored every building with care, not just to a high standard, but with a view to how the spaces could support different kinds of living. Whether it’s for quiet retreat, gathering with others, or simply day-to-day life, we wanted Beadon to feel flexible, generous and quietly grounding. We’ve always thought of this place as a healing and learning retreat — not in a formal sense, but in how it holds space for stillness, creativity, and reflection. Although we had hoped to stay longer, a move overseas now means it’s time for the next chapter — both for us, and for Beadon. Our hope is that the next owners will value what’s been created here, and carry it forward in their own way, whether that’s as a private home, a place to share with others, or a bit of both. This valley has been good to us. It’s peaceful, generous, and full of potential, and surrounded by wonderful neighbours.   We’ll miss it, but we’re proud to pass it on. The Farmhouse The main house at Beadon Farm stands at the centre of the hamlet, a handsome, traditional farmhouse with classic Dartmoor proportions, carefully restored and extended to suit modern living. Its white render and heritage green windows give it an understated elegance, while inside, the rooms feel calm, generous and welcoming. The front door opens into a central hallway. To the left is a snug with a wood burning stove, a cosy, relaxed space with garden views, and opposite, a generous games room with large windows and large fireplace with wood burner.  Straight ahead, the house opens up into a wide inner hallway with access to the cloakroom, a well-appointed utility room with double Miele washers and dryers, as well as a rear entrance. The kitchen is the heart of the home, a large, sociable space with bespoke cabinetry, a central island, electric Aga, and built-in pantries.  It flows naturally into the dining room on one side, and the conservatory and garden terrace on the other, creating a seamless link between indoor and outdoor spaces. Beyond the kitchen is the main reception room: a peaceful, light-filled space with a stone fireplace and double doors leading to the conservatory, which offers views across the garden, orchard and surrounding hills. Upstairs, the principal suite includes a spacious bedroom, a walk-in dressing room, and a stylish en-suite bathroom. Two further double bedrooms each have their own en-suite shower rooms, while the fourth bedroom, currently used as a study, offers flexibility for guests, family or work. Throughout the house, features such as exposed beams, timber-framed windows and stonework sit comfortably alongside modern systems including air conditioning in key areas, underfloor heating throughout the ground floor, and hardwired internet in every room, offering the charm of a period home with the convenience of a contemporary one.  The farmhouse and barns are all linked with a hardwired intercom phone system.  Thatch Barn Once a dilapidated tin-roofed agricultural building, The Thatch Barn has been reimagined as a beautifully crafted thatched retreat. Now a luxurious, self-contained guest suite that blends rustic charm with elegant, modern living. The ground floor offers a spacious and versatile living area, carefully zoned to include a fully fitted kitchen with integrated appliances, a stylish dining space with bespoke banquette seating, and a generous lounge with bespoke cabinetry and space to unwind or work. This area could also include a generous bedroom space. Large windows and thoughtful lighting give the space a bright, calm feel, while underfloor heating and air conditioning ensure year-round comfort.  There is a downstairs shower room with walk-in rainfall shower, along with a discreetly positioned washer and dryer in the hallway leading to the shower room.  Upstairs is a dedicated bedroom with vaulted ceilings and integrated storage, alongside a beautifully appointed cloakroom.  Every detail has been considered - from the handcrafted finishes to the elegant lighting, creating a peaceful and private haven that could, subject to any necessary permissions, lend itself to equally serve as guest accommodation, a creative studio, or even a luxury holiday let. Rowan Barn Rowan Barn is a beautifully converted detached barn, currently used as a calming space for yoga, work, and relaxation. With its vaulted ceilings, exposed beams, and a sense of quiet elegance, it offers a flexible retreat that feels connected yet distinct from the main house. The open-plan layout provides real versatility. It’s perfectly suited to creative pursuits, wellness practices, or working from home—but equally, it would make a wonderful guest suite. The kitchen is beautifully appointed, with bespoke cabinetry and a Lacanche cooker, while the shower room is finished to a luxurious standard, with large-format marble-effect tiles and a walk-in shower enclosure. Comfort is carefully considered throughout, with underfloor heating and air conditioning ensuring a pleasant environment all year round. Nettle Barn Set just beyond the main farmhouse, Nettle Barn has been thoughtfully converted from its former agricultural use into a tranquil and versatile building. Accessed from the main yard, with a secondary entrance from the flower and vegetable garden, it offers a peaceful retreat with far-reaching views across the valley. The main room is currently arranged as a bright and uplifting studio, with a vaulted timber ceiling, large windows, white oak cabinets, and glazed doors that open onto the surrounding landscape. There is a kitchenette with a large sink for flower cutting or washing up from art projects and a cloakroom.  Whether used as an art space, a quiet study, a place to read or reflect—or with modest changes and subject to permission, as a guest suite—this is a building full of possibility. At the far end, a purpose-built greenhouse connects seamlessly to the stone structure. Designed for practical use, it features floor drainage and underfloor heating to support year-round planting and propagation.  It would also be a good space for other art practices such as clay work, painting and sculpting. The Gardens The gardens surrounding the farmhouse are beautifully maintained and thoughtfully designed, providing the perfect setting for the home and the wider hamlet. At the front of the farmhouse is a wonderful garden in a formal courtyard with an expansive lawn and well-established, irrigated borders filled with shrubs, perennials and seasonal colour. A charming water feature made from an old mill stone sits at the far end of the garden and was primarily built for the birds and other flying visitors.  The fountain perfectly framed from the front door and adds a peaceful soundtrack to the setting.  At the rear, paved terraces provide excellent space for entertaining or quiet enjoyment, with the level lawn flowing naturally into open grassland and up toward the newest wildflower meadow. Subtle, tasteful garden lighting around the house and yard adds warmth and atmosphere at dusk. Tucked behind Nettle Barn, the flower and vegetable garden is a particular highlight. Neatly fenced and beautifully laid out, it features a series of irrigated raised beds surrounded by gravel paths and ornamental planting, perfect for growing fresh produce and cut flowers. With an old Cornish well built into the centre, the area is as pleasing to the eye as it is practical, with a nearby seating area making the most of the views. Adjacent to this, and hidden behind the Tractor Barn, is a discreet workers' WC and a dedicated staff kitchen and dining room, making day-to-day life on the estate more comfortable and efficient. Further along the back of the Tractor Barn, a large greenhouse supports year-round growing and propagation. Across the grounds, numerous thoughtful seating areas have been created, each offering a unique perspective of the land and a moment of stillness, whether for solitude or time shared with friends. Together, the gardens form a series of inviting, manageable spaces that gently blend into the natural surroundings, as practical as they are peaceful. Outbuildings Beadon Farm is well supported by a thoughtfully designed set of outbuildings, offering flexibility for agricultural, operational, and creative use. The Tractor Barn A substantial modern building with concrete flooring, high eaves, and wide double doors, this is the working heart of the estate. It comfortably houses machinery, tools, and implements, with built-in storage and a timber-framed internal workshop/storage shed. Recently installed lighting, power, and insulation make it a highly functional space all year round. The Farm Office and Barn Across from the Tractor Barn is an original stone barn that houses the heated farm office where there are bookshelves full of farming and gardening reference materials, maps of the fields, along with tables and chairs to hold meetings.  The built-in desk space and filing system is ideal for managing the day-to-day running of the property or for use as a project hub, studio, or consultancy space. At the other end of this barn is a far infrared sauna and additional storage space.   The Berry Hut A timber-framed pitched-roof structure, the Berry Hut encloses the estate’s soft fruit beds.  Higher Tractor Barn Positioned away from the main cluster of buildings, the Higher Tractor Barn provides a highly useful service and storage area. Its location offers easy access for deliveries and equipment, making it a practical addition for running the property efficiently. The Land Beadon Farm extends to approximately 63 acres in total, including around 30 acres of gently sloping grass fields, suitable for grazing, agriculture or conservation, and enclosed largely by traditional hedgerows and new chestnut fencing and Iroko gates.  The remaining land includes about 30 acres of ancient woodland, providing a peaceful and biodiverse environment. The woodland areas, including parts of Netton Cleave and Little Down, feature established tree cover, copious bluebells, streams and informal paths, offering natural spaces for quiet enjoyment. The current owners have taken a careful ecological approach to land management, focusing on enhancing habitats, supporting pollinators and maintaining the balance and natural character of the landscape.  When an old Ash tree had to come down, it was repurposed and carved by a local artist into a long dragon style bench, and other mythical elements.  It’s a manageable and well-connected parcel of land, offering scope for those looking to farm, re-wild, or simply enjoy a quieter pace of life. Location Beadon Farm is located in open countryside between Hennock, Bovey Tracey and Chudleigh, within the boundary of Dartmoor National Park. Although wonderfully secluded, the property is well connected by road, rail and air. The vibrant town of Ashburton is within 15 minutes, while Exeter is around 30 minutes away. From nearby Newton Abbot, trains to London Paddington take approximately 2.5 hours. Exeter Airport offers flights to a range of domestic and European destinations. The surrounding area is one of the most beautiful and unspoilt in the UK, with dramatic moorland, deep river valleys and sandy, blue flag beaches, all within easy reach. Beadon sits quietly in its own valley, yet offers exceptional access to the best of the South West. The local communities nearby host the famous Widecombe Fair and the impressive Bovey Tracey Craft Fair, to name a few. Estate Team The day-to-day running of the estate is currently overseen by a full-time estate manager who works from the farm office. He has played an integral role in developing and maintaining the property, and his presence provides reassurance and continuity to any future owner. In addition, the sellers have curated a reliable network of local contractors, including housekeepers and a gardener.  Two different private chefs are available for gourmet occasions. There is also a local yoga teacher and two different massage therapists who have come to the farm for appointments. A full handover and list of contacts will be available to ensure a seamless transition for the new owner. NB The sellers currently retain a full-time estate manager, a gardener, and a network of trusted contractors. Buyers should note that any ongoing arrangements would require separate agreement and are not included in the sale. Stamp Duty We are advised by the sellers that the property may qualify for a reduced Stamp Duty Land Tax rate due to its farming classification.

Langdon Court is an exceptional Grade II* house set on ten acres with far reaching views of the rolling countryside. With a formal walled garden, further mature gardens, a private lake and sixteen bedrooms, the property is undoubtedly one of the finest turn-key properties on the market in South West England. The house was built in circa 1577 and was remodelled in 1693. Over the past few years the building has undergone extensive renovations to create an exceptional home finished to the highest standard throughout. The current owners have created a beautiful, modern country house with each room being individually styled to create a home steeped in character and comfort. Grand period features are found throughout the home; high ceilings, large sash windows, hand-carved fireplaces and wooden floors contrast with the beautiful colour palette of pastel hues hand picked by internationally renowned designer who owns the home. The fully-fitted kitchen is every chef’s dream. The current owner is an internationally renowned restaurateur who has ensured it has been completed to the highest professional standard with extensive marble countertop space, two ovens, a separate prep kitchen and a formal dining room. Keen hosts, the property has been curated to ensure there is ample space to entertain, but also to unwind, with a media room, library, morning room and drawing room. At the centre of the home you will find the Palm Court, an exceptional and unique space which is painted in a vibrant green with a glass ceiling and original Victorian tiled floors. There are sixteen ensuite bedrooms over the first and second floors which boast freestanding baths, marble floors and large windows which overlook the grounds. The principal suite features a large walk-in wardrobe with bespoke cabinetry and a freestanding bath, and a separate beauty room. The house has further potential for improvement and expansion by converting the extensive cellars into a luxurious spa and the pretty outbuildings into summer houses. In 1960 the property was converted into a hotel, and still has planning permission to use it as such. Currently the home generates an income from hosting weddings, private events and photoshoots. Located in the heart of Devon, Langdon Court is 20 minutes from the seaside city of Plymouth where regular trains travel to London which can be reached in just over three hours.

Introduction Canonteign Manor is one of Devon’s most remarkable historic houses, set within around 10 acres in the beautiful Teign Valley. Grade I Listed and with origins reaching back centuries, it offers exceptional scale, character and presence, together with far-reaching views across the surrounding countryside. With its ancient stonework, mullion windows, granite fireplaces, grand reception spaces and wonderfully private grounds, it is a significant and atmospheric country property. Canonteign Manor was used as a private residential dwelling for many years prior to its change of use and, subject to the necessary planning consent, could once again make a wonderful home. Before arranging a viewing or making enquiries, interested parties should be aware of the current permitted use of the property, which is explained below. Planning Information Canonteign Manor is currently permitted for use as Sui Generis Holiday Let. 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. This lovely Cathedral city offers many restaurants and high-quality shopping outlets. There is also a very popular university and excellent range of schooling.

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.

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.
