Marley Head, South Brent, Devon

Set within an impressive Grade II* listed former manor house, this beautifully presented second floor apartment forms part of an exclusive private estate surrounded by stunning communal grounds, a tennis court and an idyllic lake. The property offers well-proportioned accommodation including two double bedrooms, a spacious sitting/dining room, a modern fitted kitchen and two ensuite shower rooms, and has been significantly improved by the current owners to a high standard throughout. Further benefits include a single garage and an allocated parking space.

Accessed via a communal entrance with stairs rising to the second floor, the apartment opens into a welcoming entrance hall with excellent built-in storage, including a useful utility cupboard housing laundry appliances. A long inner hallway showcases the character of the building, with high ceilings and attractive period detailing throughout.

The sitting/dining room is a particular feature of the home, with two large sash windows with shutters to the front aspect enjoying far-reaching views over the grounds and tennis court. A feature fireplace with solid fuel fire adds warmth and character to the space.

The kitchen is fitted with a range of modern wall and base units with Corian work surfaces and integrated appliances including induction hob, oven, fridge and dishwasher, together with an instant hot water tap. The room also enjoys an attractive outlook and benefits from underfloor heating.

Both bedrooms are generous doubles, each benefitting from their own ensuite shower room fitted with underfloor heating and heated towel rails. Bedroom one also includes fitted wardrobes, providing excellent storage.

Externally, the property is set within beautifully maintained communal grounds, accessed via a gated approach that leads through woodland to open lawns. The estate also offers use of a tennis court and a picturesque lake, creating a peaceful and highly desirable setting. In addition, the property benefits from a single garage and an allocated parking space.

The estate itself has a rich and varied history, originally forming part of a historic manor house which has evolved over the centuries before being carefully converted into an exclusive development of just a small number of homes, combining period character with modern living within a private and secure setting.

Located on the edge of Dartmoor National Park, the property is ideally positioned for access to outstanding countryside, walking and riding routes, while also being within easy reach of the South Hams coastline with its well-regarded beaches. Nearby towns provide a good range of amenities, independent shops and transport links.

The property is leasehold with a 999-year lease from 1996 and a share of the freehold. A service charge applies, and the home benefits from mains electricity, shared private water and drainage, and oil-fired central heating.
