East Allington

The Property:

Set in the heart of the picturesque village of East Allington, this striking Grade II listed stone-built residence offers a rare opportunity to own one of the area's most historic and charming homes. Originally constructed in 1849 as the Estate Manager’s house for the Fallapit Estate, this double-fronted detached property is brimming with character and occupies a generous plot with elevated gardens and superb views across the village and church.

Accessed via a few stone steps and through a beautiful gabled stone porch, you’re welcomed by a spacious entrance hall with a staircase and useful under-stairs storage. To the left, a bright and inviting lounge—formerly known as the parlour—features a wood-burning stove and a large window flooding the room with natural light. On the opposite side, a generous dining room also enjoys a cosy wood burner and a feature fireplace, perfect for entertaining or family meals.

The dining room flows into a stylish, well-equipped kitchen featuring an oil-fired Rayburn, a conventional oven, under-counter fridge, and space and plumbing for a washing machine. A rear porch offers additional storage for coats and boots, and access to the garden.

Upstairs, a good-sized landing leads to three double bedrooms, all with pleasant outlooks. The main bedroom is exceptionally spacious and enjoys far-reaching views over the countryside and the beautiful church opposite. The second bedroom was an addition in the mid-80s and adds extra space, ideal for a family. The bathroom is well equipped with bath with mixer shower, WC and basin, all in a clean white suite.

Outside, the elevated rear garden is private, peaceful, and split into two tiers—ideal for relaxing, gardening, or even the addition of a home office or summerhouse (subject to permissions).

There is also a large cellar, accessible externally - perfect for practical storage needs. Off-road parking for at least two vehicles is situated at the lower side of property.

This unique home combines period charm with modern comforts, offering a wonderful lifestyle in a sought-after South Hams village. Whether you're looking for a permanent residence or a characterful countryside retreat, this one is not to be missed.
