House For Sale £2,350,000
Situated close to open moorland with spectacular views, this beautiful Devon manor house sits in a private and peaceful position elevated above Gidleigh, near the popular town of Chagford. The property enjoys a magical setting, with breath taking views over the surrounding countryside, whilst being within easy reach of local amenities and transport links.
Berrydown Manor forms an L shaped layout, with some magnificent original features and superb proportions, with a number of sash windows ensuring an abundance of natural light and opening up the spectacular views to the east, over to Exmoor, the Teign Valley and beyond to the Blackdown Hills.
A central entrance hall with staircase to first floor, leads to the attractive family kitchen with 4 oven aga, central island and breakfast room. Opposite the kitchen and on the other side of the entrance hall is a dining room with one of the three wonderful granite fireplaces, providing an ideal space for year round entertaining. Beyond this, the library contains perhaps the most impressive of all the granite fireplaces, rising high above the wood burning fire and considered to be of late 16th century origin. The original cross passage links the library and principal drawing room, which is of exceptional proportions and an ideal room for entertaining. Some of the finest far reaching easterly views can be enjoyed thanks to the sash windows.
The superb proportions and excellent flow of rooms continues to the first floor, where the design and layout allows for a flexible and adaptable bedroom accommodation, perfect for family life.
The mature and established gardens and grounds complement the house perfectly and there are some superb outbuildings. At the entrance to the drive is a large granite barn currently used as a machinery store and wood store. There is potential to add a second storey to this barn with the possibility of converting to ancillary accommodation subject to obtaining the necessary planning consents.
The land is predominantly to the front of the house, with established borders and mature trees giving a sense of privacy and seclusion and ensuring shelter and protection for the property.
There are two ponds, higher and lower, fed by the leat that flows through the garden and fields.
A pathway then leads to the stable yard with five large boxes, feed room and tack room with electricity and water connected. Below is
the large railed manège measuring about 20m x 40m. The orchard and paddocks, one with a field shelter, lie beyond this, gently sloping away to the east, opening up the stunning far reaching views. The grounds extend to around 21 acres.
