The Grounds

The gardens and the grounds surrounding the Manor House are an integral part of the property and have been beautifully landscaped with a lake, thatched duck house and mature trees, whilst further to the south is a paddock with mature hardwood trees, a lake and orchard. Immediately to the south of the house is an attractive terraced paved seating area with lawns beyond. From here you will see the Gaze Tower, added in the late 18th century, and built by John Pearse who died in 1794. From the top of the spiral stairwell there are magnificent views across to Dartmoor.  All in all the property is set in approximately 6 acres including woodland and natural pond.

Located beyond the Chapel is the outdoor heated swimming pool with patio edging and changing facilities, enjoying views over the lawned garden area and lake.
 
The cottages, which are located to the rear of the house, have their own separate drive which finishes in a parking and turning area to the rear of the house. At ground floor level the Gardener's, Groom's and Coach Cottage are approached.   Attached to the cottages and forming part of the courtyard, is an additional self contained unit, which is currently being let out as a holiday let.
The workshop which measures 54'5 x 28'1 is positioned within the courtyard and lends itself to potential Class Q conversion (subject to the necessary planning consents).  Located to the rear of the cottages is a further open fronted barn which does benefit from lapsed planning permission to convert into an annexe to the main residence. (Planning ref: 57/1915/10 given by South Hams District Council on 16.08.2010).

About Millington Tunnicliff, Ivybridge

19 Fore Street, Ivybridge, PL21 9AB

The chances are that if you have moved home or sold your business in the Plymouth or South Hams area in the last 30 years you will recognise one of the names, Millington or Tunnicliff. One of us has probably been involved in one way or another, whether it was with your sale, purchase or in the chain somewhere.

We have both been successful Managers for Corporate and Independent Estate Agents for the last 20 years. We have now decided that it is time to put all of our experience, training and expertise to good use in our own business. From the reaction we have had since we announced this, we think we have probably done the right thing !

Between us we have vast experience of the residential property market, new home sales, business transfer, overseas property, property rentals and more recently domestic energy assessment .

We can advise you on local solicitors, surveyors, financial advisors and undertake Domestic Energy Assessments.

We hope to be able to assist the people of Ivybridge, the South Hams and surrounding areas with our experience for many years to come.

Stuart Millington has lived in and around the South Hams all of his life, was schooled in Ivybridge but his teachers have now retired! Stuart is married to Sarah and has two children. In his spare time he still enjoys playing football and squash with a little golf thrown in when time allows. Stuart is renowned for his fashion sense, he still believes that desert boots and grandad shirts are in vogue !

Nigel Tunnicliff has lived and worked in and around Plymouth and the South Hams for the last 35 years. Nigel went to Plymouth College where he was not the perfect academic student but did enjoy success on the rugby field and cricket pitch. Nigel is married to Stephanie and has one daughter. In his spare time Nigel enjoys cooking, golf, numerous armchair sports and is not adverse to testing a beer every now and again.
