Description:
A MAGNIFICENT EARLY GEORGIAN MANOR HOUSE LOCATED WITHIN A SCENIC VALLEY IN POPULAR EAST DEVON
DETAILS
Four Reception Rooms. Two Cloakrooms. Kitchen. Thirteen Bedrooms. Nine Bathrooms. Four Shower Rooms. Garage. Large Garden.
SITUATION
The property, which is Grade II* Listed, is situated a short distance from the small village of Knowle, in attractive East Devon countryside which forms part of an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The house is located to a valley between Woodbury Common to the north and the delightful seaside resort of Budleigh Salterton to the south. The magnificent coastline from Budleigh Salterton eastwards has been designated as a World Heritage Site, and is know as the Jurassic Coast.
Budleigh Salterton, which lies about a mile to the south, has an attractive and unspoilt seafront with delightful walks along the River Otter and a good range of day to day shopping and leisure facilities, inns, a health centre and library.
The popular resort of Exmouth is some 5 miles distant and offers a wider range of shopping, 2 miles of sandy beaches, and excellent water sports facilities.
The Cathedral City of Exeter lies within about 11 miles, the city has a fine university, is home to the recently established Peninsula Medical School, and is the administrative centre for Devon.
COMMUNICATIONS
Communications are excellent with the M5 motorway about 9 miles distant, a mainline railway station at Exeter with intercity trains to London, Midlands and the North. Exeter Airport offers flights both within the U.K., Europe and further afield.
RECREATION
There are excellent tennis courts and croquet lawns in Budleigh Salterton. Golf courses are available at Budleigh Salterton and Woodbury Park, Sidmouth and Exeter. There are opportunities for sailing, bathing and water sports along the Exe Estuary, fishing in the River Otter and walking along the South West Coastal Footpath.
TIDWELL MANOR
The Manor is an imposing and elegant early Eighteenth Century house, the hopperheads recording the date of construction as 1725. It is built of brick walls under slated roofs, and internally the house has some magnificent plasterwork and wall panelling. The house is well laid out over three floors, together with a basement, which has converted into a bar and function room but would make an ideal hobby room or gym.
Whilst the house has been used as a hotel for many years, it could relatively easily be reconverted to a private house in which case it would provide comfortable family accommodation on all three floors.
To the side of the house is a large former coach house, presently used as garaging and storage. Planning Permission has been obtained to convert the coach house into ancillary residential accommodation, providing three self contained units.
At the rear of the property is a small one bedroom staff flatlet, and there is also a separate shed.
The grounds extend to just under two acres and are mainly laid to lawn with a number of attractive trees and shrubs, including a magnificent copper beech and a horse chestnut tree.
The property adjoins Tidwell Barton, a working farm, but it is separated from the farm by a high wall and the coach house. We understand Tidwell Barton Farm is run on organic principles.
