Manor Farm is magical property with extensive gardens and grounds, situated at the heart of a pretty South Devon village, within easy walking distance of all its amenities including two pubs and a community shop.

The Grade II listed Georgian manor house provides approximately 6,300 square feet of accommodation and has been thoroughly and sympathetically restored in recent years, retaining period charm and character, but adding contemporary interior design including the highest quality fixtures and fittings.

Either side of the Georgian front entrance hall are the formal drawing and dining rooms, behind which are a large modern kitchen/breakfast room and a sun room leading directly to the garden, then a further utility room/ pantry and cloakroom to the rear.

The original 15th Century Devon longhouse includes a cross passage hallway running between the snug and the study, and on the first and second floors are five well-proportioned bedrooms and three bathrooms.

The entrance driveway leads into a large, enclosed courtyard, providing ample parking space, and the former farm's hayloft provides top-quality ancillary accommodation consisting of a sitting room on the first floor and a bedroom with freestanding tub and ensuite shower room on the ground floor.

Off the courtyard is a triple garage and a large workshop.

The stunning gardens and grounds to the south of the house, are a particular feature of the property, and have been transformed by the current owners into a biodiverse wildlife haven, previously run as the 'The Sustainable Garden', providing courses on gardening in tune with nature.

Surrounded by mature trees and hedgerows, the grounds include a southwest-facing garden with well-designed herbaceous borders, a 'Potager Garden' for organic vegetables and herbs, a wooden greenhouse, an ancient cider apple orchard, a wildflower meadow, a wildlife pond, and an old stone linhay ruin which has been turned into a 'Secret Garden'.
