Description


Orleigh Court – A Timeless Country Manor in the Heart of North Devon

Set behind a stately, tree-lined approach and nestled within eight acres of private parkland and ancient woodland, Orleigh Court is one of North Devon’s most captivating historic homes. Grade I-listed and rich in legacy, this noble manor has stood proudly since the 14th century — first built for the Denys family and lovingly preserved through generations. No 1 is the significant east wing of the house with its private gardens of around three acres.
Its magnificent Great Hall, with its soaring 15th-century hammerbeam roof sets the tone for a residence of rare architectural merit and deep-rooted charm.

Inside, the house blends heritage with modern refinement. Five elegant bedrooms, a sunlit reception hall and drawing room and a bespoke country kitchen provide warmth and comfort, while flagstone floors, open fireplaces, and oak panelling speak of history at every turn. Orleigh Court is not just a place to live, it is a place to belong.

Life at Orleigh Court is about moments made timeless. The principal rooms face south, basking in daylight and opening to views of rolling lawns, blooming borders, and a landscape shaped by nature and care. There is a wonderful sense of space — both within and beyond the walls — for families to explore, host, rest and grow.

The kitchen is the heart of the home: custom-made cabinetry, deep teal tones, and the gentle hum of the Aga create a welcoming warmth. The family bathroom bursts with character and colour, while the principal suite captures the soft glow of the morning sun.

Here, every window frames a painting, every wall tells a story, and every season brings new enchantment. Yet beyond the romance, there is practicality too, with ample storage, multiple reception rooms, and a layout that supports modern living without compromising period grace.

Outside
Orleigh Court’s grounds are nothing short of magical. The gardens flow seamlessly into woodland and meadow, offering a rich and ever-changing tapestry of colour and texture. Children can roam wild beneath ancient oaks, and summer days unfold with picnics on the lawn, badminton on the grass, and long walks under dappled light.

The private gardens feature not just restful lawns and al fresco dining terraces but a productive vegetable garden, orchard, and raised beds ensuring seasonal bounty, while a hidden summerhouse offers the perfect retreat for a good book or a quiet afternoon with a glass of wine. Birds, butterflies, and the occasional deer are frequent visitors and at dusk, the light settles across the land.

Location
Tucked away in the gentle countryside just outside the village of Buckland Brewer, Orleigh Court enjoys a perfect blend of seclusion and convenience. The community here is friendly and well-connected, with a popular local pub, primary school and village shop.

The dramatic coastline of North Devon lies just a short drive away, with the golden beaches of Westward Ho!, Instow and Saunton within easy reach. The historic market town of Bideford is nearby for daily essentials, while Barnstaple provides wider amenities and a direct rail link to Exeter and beyond.

For those travelling further afield, the A361 North Devon Link Road offers access to the M5, and Exeter Airport or even Bristol are easily reached — making this tranquil retreat surprisingly well connected.

This is a place to slow down, breathe deeply, and reconnect — with nature, with family, and with the steady, grounding rhythm of the countryside.
