SELLERS INSIGHT

Manor House found us when we were giving the housing market a much-needed rest whilst on holiday locally.

The moment we walked through the door we were aware of the warmth and peace. This unmistakable atmosphere has continued over the last 15 years.
The beautiful garden brought joy and fruitful fulfilment to our retirement years.

Finally, the peace and genuine friendliness of the village is priceless.


STEP INSIDE

Manor House offers the best of both worlds, a tranquil setting often described as the perfect slice of Devon, yet only 4 miles from a walk on the beach at Lyme Regis. Dating back to the 16th century, this Grade II listed home is rich in character and history.

High ceilings, abundant natural light and generously proportioned rooms are a hallmark of this delightful home. A formal dining room, complemented by a separate breakfast room, offers flexible dining options for both family gatherings and more intimate occasions.

The beautifully appointed kitchen, with its impressive dual-control electric Aga, provides a warm and inviting focal point, a true centrepiece to the home. From here, a stable door opens onto a patio with views stretching down the garden, perfect for alfresco dining or morning coffee. A discreet utility cupboard ensures everyday essentials are neatly tucked away.

The sitting room is an inviting space to unwind, featuring an inglenook fireplace with wood burner, ideal for cosy evenings, or simply a spot to enjoy a book and admire the outlook from the attractive front aspect.

Upstairs, the character of Manor House continues to shine.

The principal bedroom is a generous retreat where history meets comfort, featuring a striking moulded stone arch and a stained-glass window that reflect the home’s heritage. Despite its historic features, it remains a practical and inviting space with built-in wardrobes and an en-suite bathroom.
The three additional bedrooms are all spacious doubles, each with its own character and charm. The second bedroom is especially appealing, with views across the gardens and the added benefit of an en-suite shower room. A further well-appointed shower room serves the remaining two bedrooms.


STEP OUTSIDE
Sitting in a beautiful position opposite the historic village pond (known locally as Combpyne Harbour), The Manor House enjoys private, secluded gardens and woodland extending to 2.7 acres. A convenient driveway sits alongside the house, complete with an EV charging point. The gardens immediately surrounding the house are level and beautifully landscaped, with lawns bordered by established shrubs, trees, and flowering plants.

Pathways meander through the grounds, leading to terraced areas of woodland that run the full length of the property, a haven for wildlife and a place of complete tranquillity. One of the lower pathways, known as The Nuns’ Walk, pays homage to the property’s historical and ecclesiastical past. As you wander past the summerhouse, a stone archway opens into a productive area of garden set aside for fruit and vegetables, complete with a useful store and workshop.

At the far end of the grounds, a large level area with a concrete driveway and gated access to the road offers additional opportunities for garaging, workshops, or further development (subject to any necessary consents).
