Lamerton, Tavistock, Devon, PL19

Hurlditch Court is a classic Grade II listed Devon manor house set within a stunning grounds of around 14 acres, with 2 cottages, 2 shepherds huts and numerous outbuildings. The setting provides the perfect combination of privacy, tranquillity and easy access to local amenities. The views are outstanding, and all elements of this mini-estate are immaculately presented and maintained. The property is accessed via a long drive that slopes gently down to the front of the house, where the striking slatestone and granite façade reveals itself, creating an impressive and lasting first impression. The drive sweeps around the side, leading to a large parking and turning area in between the house and the stables.

The entrance to the house sets the tone for the rest of the property, with immaculate presentation and finish combined with an abundance of features, many of which have been sympathetically added or restored. On entrance to the house, it is immediately noticeable how warm it is, unusual for a house of this size and age. This is thanks to the underfloor heating that has been installed throughout the three floors, powered by the bio mass boiler. The entrance hall leads to the stunning reception hall, with wood panelling and an intricately detailed fireplace. This is an ideal space for welcoming and entertaining guests or for simply relaxing on the sofa enjoying the warmth of the fire.

From the reception hall, the principal ground floor rooms are accessed. Of particular note is the generous drawing room, with another beautiful fireplace, cornicing and detailed ceiling plasterwork, as well as magical views over the grounds and surrounding countryside. A panelled dining room provides the perfect space for formal entertaining, with a passage beyond leading to a wine cellar. The layout, proportions and impressive ceiling heights ensure the house flows extremely well with an abundance of natural light and plenty of circulation space.

The house is neatly separated between the formal and informal rooms, with a comfortable sitting room positioned on the other side of the reception hall, with a set of double glass doors leading to the breakfast room with another beautifully detailed carved fireplace. The breakfast room is situated off the immaculately presented kitchen, with large central island and fitted with the latest appliances. Beyond the kitchen is the utility and a rear entrance to the house, where a back corridor gives access to the integral annexe consisting off an open plan kitchen/sitting room, bedroom and shower room. On this side of the house, there is planning permission in place to create an orangery and garaging for 4 cars. This would be a superb addition to the property.

From the reception hall, a grand cantilevered staircase leads to the first floor, where the same exacting standards and attention to detail in the finish continues throughout the bedroom accommodation. A large family room with seating adds to the feeling of space and light, and from here the principal bedrooms are accessed. Every bedroom has an en suite bath or shower room, all of which are finished and presented to an exceptional standard and the quality of the refurbishment is noticeable throughout.

The principal bedroom is of particular note, with magnificent proportions and far reaching views. There is also a large dressing room, en suite bathroom and as with all the other bedrooms, a bar within the walk in wardrobe. The second floor contains a beautifully presented self-contained flat with a drawing room, kitchen and two bedrooms, both with en-suite facilities. This area could easily be re incorporated into the main house if required.

Positioned in an exceptional rural position just outside the charming village of Lamerton, this superb family home offers magnificent views in a private and peaceful setting.

Despite its secluded setting, Hurlditch Court benefits from convenient proximity to essential amenities.
