Property description & features

  • Tenure: Freehold
This is a remarkable Victorian Grade II Listed property, originally built in the 1830s, that offers a unique blend of historical charm and modern luxury. Lovingly restored, the manor preserves its original character while providing spacious and contemporary living.

Upon arrival, the private, pillared drive welcomes you to the estate's grandeur. The entrance features a pillared porch leading into a distinguished hall with a classic parquet floor and a grand staircase. This sets the tone for the elegance that pervades the property. To the left, the drawing room is a highlight, with dual-aspect views, a marble fireplace, and French doors that open to a picturesque terrace, enhanced by double doors for optional room division.

To the right, the kitchen/breakfast room is a chef's delight, designed by the esteemed Barnes of Ashburton. It features a four-oven Aga and high-end appliances from Gaggenau, Miele, and Sub-Zero, all complemented by elegant marble countertops. Opposite the kitchen, a separate cloakroom and a cobble-floored wine cellar add to the home's charm. Adjacent is a generous-sized office that connects to a boot room, offering ample storage.

The hallway leads to a well-appointed butler's kitchen/laundry, equipped with a washing machine, tumble dryer, oven, fridge freezer, and dishwasher. The snug/cinema room provides a cozy atmosphere with a working fireplace, while a fully equipped gym, featuring a mirrored wall and TV screen, opens to an outdoor area with a Swedish hot tub and fire pit.
On the first floor, a bright landing, illuminated by a glass dome, guides you to three double bedrooms. The master bedroom boasts dual-aspect views and an ensuite bathroom. Bedroom two includes a large ensuite shower room, and bedroom three shares access to a spacious shower room from the landing. Turning right from the staircase, the layout includes a separate cloakroom and two additional bedrooms. Bedroom four offers private access to a large family bathroom, while bedroom five features a vaulted ceiling and adjacent shower room. The flexible design allows for conversion into a separate annexe if desired.

The manor is set on approximately 1.5 acres of private gardens and land, featuring a high-walled Victorian vegetable garden with fruit trees, vegetable patches, and a greenhouse. A paved terrace leads to a beautifully maintained lawned garden with mature trees, shrubs, and vibrant flower beds. The outdoor kitchen and entertainment area, equipped with a gas-fired BBQ, wood-fired pizza oven, drinks fridge, and an open fire with a chimney, are perfect for gatherings, with bespoke sail shades providing comfort and ambiance.

The propertys prime location offers easy access to Meadfoot Beach, Torquay harbour, and local shops. Torquay, recognized as the UK's top seaside resort, promises a vibrant community with abundant sports and leisure opportunities. The area features excellent education and healthcare facilities, and its marina is a haven for water sports enthusiasts.

Beyond the coastline, Devons picturesque rolling hills, charming market towns, and the rugged landscapes of Dartmoor offer scenic variety. Excellent transport links, including intercity trains from Newton Abbot to London Paddington and further enhancements via the Kingskerswell bypass, ensure accessibility to Exeter and the M5. The nearby University City of Exeter enriches the region with its historic cathedral, vibrant shopping, and a regional airport with direct flights to London City Airport.

The property is more than a home; it offers an exceptional lifestyle with the perfect balance of historical allure and modern comfort in a coveted location.
