This expansive property, nestled in the picturesque landscape of East Devon, presents a unique opportunity for renovation and investment. Comprising a substantial ten-bedroom estate, it includes a four-bedroom main residence, two additional cottages, four lodges with holiday let permissions, and a manager’s lodge. The site extends over six acres of charming gardens and grounds, featuring established meadows, shrubs, hedgerows, and trees.
The main house is beautifully designed with an open-plan living space that captures ample natural light through its vaulted ceiling and full-height panoramic windows. This extensive 31-foot area combines the sitting room, dining room, and kitchen into a cohesive entertaining space. The bespoke kitchen features high-quality finishes including an AGA, making it suitable for both daily living and hosting gatherings. Four well-appointed bedrooms are situated on the ground floor; the principal bedroom boasts a dressing room and en suite bathroom while the other three bedrooms lead directly to the garden.
The four lodges are characterized by their stylish modern design and include Magnolia Lodge, Mimosa Lodge, and Oak Lodge. Each lodge features timber cladding and large windows that create bright interiors with open-plan kitchens and living areas. Additionally, Fir Lodge offers a single-level two-bedroom layout with expansive living space enhanced by sweeping views of surrounding fields.
With five fully serviced caravan pitches available—each equipped with gravel hardstanding and individual waste outlets—the potential for generating further rental income is evident. The generous grounds provide ample parking for residents as well as visitors.
