Set among twenty-five acres of grounds in the Devon countryside, this Victorian manor house is a real showstopper in which charming period features rub shoulders quite happily with modern amenities. Among the manicured garden, you'll find a saltwater swimming pool that's heated by solar panels, a tennis court surrounded by Rhodendrum bushes and corners with orchards and vegetable patches — not to mention a Grade II-listed grotto. If rain cancels play at any point, you can always head into the barn that's been converted into a dance-studio-come-yoga-space. In here, there's also a well-equipped gym, an infra-red sauna and a games room to keep you busy. That's before we've even got to the home itself. It's hard not to be instantly wowed by the grand dining room, double-aspect living rooms and hallway complete with a baby grand piano. Upstairs, there are bedrooms to suit every design taste, from four-poster beds straight out of a period drama to more contemporary options. Although there's plenty to keep you occupied without leaving the address, the excellent location gives you heaps more options. There are a pair of pubs and a restaurant in the surrounding village of Chumleigh, while both Westward Ho! and Saunton Sands beaches take fifty...Read more minutes to reach in the car. There are walking routes galore in the surrounding Devon countryside, too.Read less
