About this property

The expansive grounds, spacious interiors and opulent decor of this South Devon farmhouse complex makes for the perfect special occasion escape for a group of up to 14 human guests and three canine companions. You’ll be blown away by the elegance of the traditional country-style furnishings with chandeliers, wooden beamed ceilings and wood burners throughout the numerous reception rooms. Located on 32 acres of grounds in the Blackdown Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, you’ll be surrounded by nature walking trails with the coast also within reach.

Original features and classic soft furnishings run throughout the farmhouse and barn to create a truly luxurious experience. Take your pick from several reception rooms for relaxing with a glass of wine, get stuck into a good book in the library or soak up the sun in one of the conservatories. Cook a feast in one of the two farmhouse-style kitchens with wooden worktops and dine together in the banquet-style dining room with exposed stone walls and neutral tones. Enjoy a game of pool for some after-dinner entertainment, or take a soak in a roll top bath. There are six bedrooms, three bathrooms and one shower room. Outside are terraces with furniture, lakes, a fountain and a boathouse amidst the beautifully presented gardens.

Unwind in nature during your stay in this rural property down a country lane in Devon, near the small village of Combe Raleigh (1.5 miles). There are plenty of scenic walking routes in the Blackdown Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and the East Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty is just 7.5 miles away. Spend a day by the sea at the sandy Branscombe Beach (13 miles) or pop to the market town of Honiton (3 miles) for a meal out and to browse the boutique shops.
