There are an extensive range of outbuildings at The Sanctuary. A large proportion are original and many of which are two storey and linked to the house creating a lovely enclosed courtyard.
This outbuilding includes numerous stores, stables and workshops. There is also secure garaging for numerous cars, accessible from both the courtyard and the driveway.
Surrounding the house are delightful lawns which can be reached from many of the rooms of the house. One of the particular features is the lower walled garden and terraces with its 'crinkle crinkle' wall overlooked by the kitchen/breakfast room and accessible from the swimming pool complex. Sitting above this garden is the walled kitchen garden with productive beds and fruit trees.
For the equestrian enthusiast, the facilities at The Sanctuary are second to none, including a superb steel framed indoor riding school measuring about 46m in length, and a further covered area which houses 6 stables, a feed room and tack room. There are a further 4 stables within the stable yard. There are numerous bridle paths in the area and quiet lanes for gently hacking.
The property sits in the middle of the land with pasture surrounding the house and gardens. To the south is parkland interspersed with a number of mature trees. A further field flanks the drive to the north and located below the indoor riding school.
Beyond the former Victorian dairy, there is access to further pasture and a field divided into smaller grazing paddocks as well as a turnout area. To the north of the riding school, there are two further fields with access onto Raddon Hill. Flanking the pasture on the north and eastern boundary is a belt of mature woodland.
As you enter the property, immediately to the right is a detached red brick Lodge. This building offers two reception rooms and a separate kitchen on the ground floor. At first floor level there are three bedrooms and bathroom.
The Sanctuary is set in an elevated, south facing position, between the villages of Thorverton and Shobrooke in Mid Devon, enjoying far-reaching views across the Exe
Valley to Dartmoor in the distance.
The property is well located, having easy access to Exeter, Tiverton, Crediton & communication links, whilst also being surrounded by some of Mid-Devon's most beautiful and unspoilt countryside. Shobrooke to the west has a popular pub, the Red Lion, and there is also Shobrooke Park, a historic country estate, open to the public, with a series of footpaths, a fishing lake, and grassy amphitheatre, often used for live music on summer nights.
Thorverton to the east, has a church, two pubs and an excellent farm shop. It also has an excellent primary school, whilst Exeter and Tiverton also offer a good selection of state and private schools, including Exeter School and The Maynard School in Exeter, as well as Blundell's in Tiverton. There is also the Queen Elizabeth Academy at Crediton, which is highly rated.
Communication links to the area are good, with the M5 Motorway accessed at Tiverton or Exeter. There are two mainline train stations in Exeter and also a station at Tiverton Parkway providing regular direct links to London Paddington in about two hours. Exeter International Airport has an ever increasing number of flights to UK and international destinations, including a daily flight to London City Airport.
