Description

This Grade II listed Devon manor estate comprises a principal house of approximately 9,300 sq ft, a three-bedroom gatehouse lodge, traditional ancillary buildings and around 32.52 acres of grounds. The rural setting overlooks the Taw Valley and is reached by a sweeping drive through the estate grounds. The manor house is described as having 13 bedrooms and eight bath or shower rooms, with accommodation arranged over several floors. Its reception rooms include a sitting room, dining room, library and reception hall, alongside a kitchen and breakfast room, study, office, laundry, games room, service spaces and cellar. Period details noted in the particulars include high ceilings, plaster cornicing, fireplaces and sash windows. The grounds include formal gardens, lawns, mature trees and pasture. The traditional outbuildings are described as retaining much of their original character and are linked to the estate's former farm and domestic use. Any adaptation would be subject to the relevant planning and listed-building consents. The scale of the house, separate lodge and range of buildings offer scope for different uses, subject to condition, permissions and the practical requirements of operating a large rural property.

Our WHOTS verdict

An internal assessment of the opportunity to acquire, improve and create value.

80out of 100
Grade AStrong opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

At £1,650,000, this Grade II listed manor is a strikingly low-priced opportunity against the local average: about £177 per sq ft compared with £288. Its scale and setting are exceptional, with 13 bedrooms, a gatehouse, around 32 acres, formal gardens and a substantial range of traditional stone outbuildings. The asking price is well below the local £/sq ft benchmark, creating scope to acquire a remarkable country estate and shape it for a new use or way of life.

Inside, the large reception rooms retain fireplaces, cornicing and timber floors, while the kitchens, bathrooms and décor are dated and offer a clear medium-scale programme for modernisation. The grounds appear maintained, and the main house looks in use; some ancillary buildings are weathered or open-sided, so their condition and any adaptation potential need careful assessment. The listed status will also matter when planning changes.

Key opportunities

  • Modernise the dated kitchens, bathrooms and interior finishes while retaining the reception rooms’ fireplaces, cornicing and timber floors.
  • Make the most of the manor’s 13 bedrooms, gatehouse and extensive accommodation for a large household or another suitable lifestyle use.
  • Explore the potential of the formal gardens, grounds and substantial range of traditional stone ancillary buildings, subject to condition, listed status and any required consents.

Key risks

  • The weathered or open-sided ancillary buildings need a thorough condition survey; photographs do not establish their internal or structural state.
  • The Grade II listing may constrain the scope and methods of alterations, so proposals will need appropriate heritage advice and consent.
