Filleigh Mews: An Architectural Masterpiece of Grandeur and Versatility

Grand 4,400 sq. ft. detached main house with a 1,150 sq. ft. linked annexe situated on a sprawling 1.8 acre plot.

Nestled within the prestigious Filleigh Estate, Filleigh Mews is a property of immense scale and architectural beauty, offering over 5,550 sq. ft. of total living space (measurements approximate). Characterised by its striking Delabole slate and rendered elevations, the home was masterfully extended ten years ago to create a seamless flow between its historic roots and contemporary luxury.

From the moment you enter the galleried reception hall, the sense of volume is apparent, with expansive levels that lead down into the social heart of the home. The main residence is anchored by a magnificent 40ft Cucina Colore designer kitchen hub, a culinary showcase featuring black granite surfaces, a central breakfast island, and a full suite of Siemens integrated appliances. This space transitions into the 36ft dual-aspect sitting room, where a soaring Delabole slate fireplace with a wood-burning stove provides a dramatic focal point.

Natural light floods the ground floor through a full-width conservatory with thermostatically controlled roofing, offering panoramic views of the beautiful gardens. Upstairs, the accommodation features a luxurious master suite with a private dressing room. The third floor offers three versatile attic rooms—perfectly suited for a home cinema, art studio, or dedicated hobby space.

The Annexe

A thoughtful link extension connects the main house to a superb self-contained annexe, specifically remodelled for high-specification, accessible living. Entirely level-access, the annexe features a spectacular 26ft vaulted music room (currently utilized as a second bedroom for the annexe), a granite-topped kitchen, and a luxury bedroom suite complete with a large walk-in wardrobe and a modern wet room.

Grounds & Gardens

The property is a horticultural sanctuary. The historic walled garden serves as a Mediterranean-style secluded sun trap with far-reaching views of the Devon countryside. It features fruit trees, a vegetable plot, a fruit cage, and a Large Greenhouse / Orangery containing a grapevine believed to have been planted in the early 1900s. The grounds are completed by a private swim-spa, a Koi pool, a large double garage with workshop, and a large garden shed.
