Fremington Manor, Fremington, Barnstaple, EX31 2NX

Fremington Manor is an impressive Grade II Listed Georgian residence that formerly operated as a care home, offering accommodation within 56 bedrooms, including some doubles meaning the home previously held registration for 60, and 38 with ensuite facilities. The property presents a strong opportunity for redevelopment, either to re-establish a high-quality care facility or, subject to planning permission (STPP), for alternative uses. However, given the protected nature of the property, this should not be assumed and you should undertake your own due diligence.

The original manor house, constructed in red brick with pitched slate roofs behind a parapet wall, has been extended multiple times. These include a purpose-built two-storey rear/side extension added in 1996, as well as single-storey additions and a conservatory overlooking the gardens. The main entrance is through a single-storey section, and the property is accessed via a private tarmac driveway leading to a car park with space for approximately 30 vehicles.

The site slopes down to the east, allowing many bedrooms and communal areas to overlook the extensive lawned grounds and a patio terrace. The property is equipped with a gas-fired central heating and hot water system, with separate boilers for the original building and the extension, and also benefits from a backup generator.

Fremington is a large village and civil parish located in North Devon, approximately three miles west of the market town of Barnstaple. Positioned on the south bank of the tidal estuary of the River Taw, the village is home to Fremington Manor and lies along Church Hill (B3233) in a predominantly residential area but within Fremington Conservation Area. Nearby amenities include St Peter?s Parish Church, a small retail parade, and the Fremington Local Nature Reserve, which leads to Fremington Quay and the South West Coast Path. Barnstaple, a historic river-port town at the lowest crossing point of the River Taw before it meets the Bristol Channel, is situated about 41 miles northwest of Exeter and 96 miles southwest of Bristol.

The area benefits from strong transport links. Road access is provided by the A361 North Devon Link Road, connecting to the M5 motorway at Junction 27, and the A39 Atlantic Highway, which offers scenic coastal routes. Rail services are available from Barnstaple railway station, with connections to Exeter St Davids and onward travel to London and other major cities. For faster mainline services, Tiverton Parkway station?approximately 37 miles away?offers direct trains to London Paddington in just over two hours.

The opportunity presents a chance to purchase a closed former care home which was deregistered in May 2025.

The home was recognised as a premium care home within the immediate vicinity. The opportunity now exists for a new owner either locally based or further afield to acquire the property and re-establish the business or, subject to the necessary planning permission, pursue an alternative use.

It should also be noted that due to the protected nature of the property, this cannot be assumed and any interested party should undertake their own due diligence prior to making a legal commitment to purchase.

The home was previously registered with the CQC to accommodate a maximum of 60 clients. The home was deregistered back in May 2025.
