Second home - United Kingdom

Presented by James Cooper - Part of By Design’s network, with more than 25 years’ experience in the South Devon premium property market. Introduction Combe Barn occupies a wonderful position on the edge of Lustleigh, one of Dartmoor’s most sought after villages. Set within approximately 8.30 acres of garden, paddock and woodland, the property offers a superb combination of space, privacy, village access and immediate access to the surrounding countryside. The house itself is far larger than it first appears, extending to approximately 5,358 sq ft and providing generous, flexible accommodation arranged over two principal levels. With five double bedrooms, impressive reception space, a striking vaulted living room and lovely views across the wooded valley, this is a substantial home in a very special Dartmoor setting. The current owners acquired Combe Barn in 2007 with planning consent in place to demolish and build a new dwelling. Rather than lose the character of the original barn, they saw the potential to retain and rebuild the barn element while adding a significant new wing. The project was completed in 2009, creating the spacious and individual home seen today. The Inside The approach to the house leads to an impressive covered entrance, opening into a large hallway. From here, the scale of the property quickly becomes apparent. There is a wide staircase rising to the first floor, a cloakroom, and excellent space for coats, boots and everyday country living. The hallway continues past one of the double bedrooms, which has direct access out onto the terrace, before opening into the main living room. This is one of the standout spaces within the house, with a high vaulted ceiling, galleried landing above, and a substantial stone fireplace creating a strong focal point. Two sets of doors open directly onto the terrace, where the outlook stretches across the wooded valley beyond. Beyond the living room is a substantial games room, currently arranged with a full-sized snooker table. This is a wonderfully versatile space and could suit a variety of uses depending on lifestyle. From here there is access to a further bedroom, an office and a bathroom, with a staircase leading up to the kitchen area. On the first floor, the galleried landing overlooks the living room below and leads into the kitchen breakfast room. The kitchen is fitted with modern units and enjoys views out over the grounds and down the valley. A door also provides direct access outside, adding practicality to the layout. An opening leads through to the dining room, another generous space with a window to the side, three rooflights and a glazed wall overlooking the living room. It creates an enjoyable connection between the main living areas while still giving each space its own identity. At the other end of the landing are three large double bedrooms. The principal bedroom has a staircase leading down to a particularly large bathroom and dressing room, creating a private suite with excellent proportions. The Outside For those who enjoy the outdoors, Combe Barn offers a wonderful amount of space and variety. The property sits in approximately 8.30 acres, made up of gardens, paddock and woodland, giving a real sense of privacy and freedom. The terrace is positioned to make the most of the views across the valley and provides a lovely place to sit, eat outside or simply enjoy the surroundings. From the land, you can walk through towards the community orchard and into the village, which adds enormously to the lifestyle appeal of the property. There are two driveways, a garage and an old stable, currently used for storage. The mix of garden, woodland, paddock and outbuildings gives the property flexibility, whether for family life, outdoor hobbies, animals, or simply enjoying a quieter Dartmoor lifestyle. Location Lustleigh is one of Dartmoor’s most attractive and popular villages, known for its pretty period homes, strong community, surrounding countryside and access to some of the National Park’s finest walking routes. From Combe Barn, the village centre can be reached on foot in around 10 minutes. Here you will find the village pub, church, community shop and post office, tea rooms and the community orchard. Walking down along the leat brings you to the cricket pitch, while continuing further opens up some of the area’s best countryside routes. For those who enjoy walking, riding or simply being outside, the location is superb. Lustleigh Cleave, Wrayland, Hisley Bridge, the river valley, Foxworthy and Manaton are all part of the wider landscape that makes this part of Dartmoor so loved. It is an exceptional place for those who want a genuine village and countryside lifestyle. Despite the rural feel, the property is not isolated. Exeter is approximately 20 miles away and the M5 can be reached in under 30 minutes. Newton Abbot is around a 20-minute drive and provides a wider range of shops, supermarkets and everyday amenities, as well as a mainline railway station with services to London Paddington taking from approximately 2.5 hours.

Introduction Canonteign Manor is one of Devon’s most remarkable historic houses, set within around 10 acres in the beautiful Teign Valley. Grade I Listed and with origins reaching back centuries, it offers exceptional scale, character and presence, together with far-reaching views across the surrounding countryside. With its ancient stonework, mullion windows, granite fireplaces, grand reception spaces and wonderfully private grounds, it is a significant and atmospheric country property. Canonteign Manor was used as a private residential dwelling for many years prior to its change of use and, subject to the necessary planning consent, could once again make a wonderful home. Before arranging a viewing or making enquiries, interested parties should be aware of the current permitted use of the property, which is explained below. Planning Information Canonteign Manor is currently permitted for use as Sui Generis Holiday Let. The current owners obtained planning permission in 2019 to change the use of the property from C3 Residential Dwelling House to its present holiday let use. As such, buyers should be aware that the property is not currently permitted for unrestricted residential occupation as a C3 dwelling. Should a buyer wish to use Canonteign Manor as a private residential home, a change of use planning application would be required. By Design has contact with experienced planning consultants who are familiar with matters of this nature, and further guidance can be made available to interested parties should they require it. Buyers should make their own enquiries and take independent planning advice before proceeding. History A Domesday Manor, Canonteign was given to the canons of St Mary du Val in Normandy circa 1125 and later conveyed to the Prior and convent of Merton, in Surrey. After the Reformation it was granted to Lord John Russell and then passed through a series of owners. It was garrisoned for the King during the Civil War and taken by Fairfax in 1645. According to Lysons, it belonged to the Davy family in the 17th century. In 1812, Sir Edward Pellew, later Lord Viscount Exmouth, purchased the manor and it became a farm after 1828 when Exmouth built Canonteign House close by. It was restored by Lady Exmouth in the 1970s and, during recent years, the ancient house has been brought into the 21st century with extensive and sympathetic renovation. Today, Canonteign Manor is an extraordinary and beautifully maintained historic property, combining the character of its 400-year-old origins with the comfort and convenience of modern technology. It has been sympathetically cared for to ensure it continues to stand proudly for decades to come. Interior The real magic of Canonteign Manor is its generously proportioned and elegant rooms, which, although lit from mullion windows, are both tall and light. Most of the principal rooms have a focal point of a granite fireplace and enjoy spectacular views across the valley of the River Teign. From the main entrance, you step into the dining hall, an impressive space by anyone’s standards. With a stone floor, intricate wood panelling on the walls and beautiful stone mullion windows, it is a very special space indeed, with a substantial dining table which comfortably seats twenty guests. A large open fireplace provides a beautiful focal point. Moving through the dining hall, there is access into the cloakroom and rear entrance. There is also a staircase to the first floor. The kitchen has been very well designed to fill a large space without it feeling overwhelming. There is a large central island and plenty of storage. The AGA sits on one side of the room and the owner has added a large oven and hob to the other. Double doors open into the breakfast room, which has a grand fireplace with wood burner, creating another generous reception space. On the other side of the house, there is a spacious study, a snooker room and a formal sitting room. Each room has been decorated sympathetically in neutral tones to enhance the natural beauty of the building’s windows, stonework and period features. The main reception rooms are fitted with wood burners, creating inviting spaces in winter. The current owners have enhanced the property with LED lighting, refurbished bathrooms and carried out extensive work to the roof. There are two staircases which access the first floor, where you’ll find the bedrooms. The largest rooms are at either end of the house. The principal bedroom suite has been improved with the renovation of the ensuite to create a luxury space with high-quality fittings and finish. The principal bedroom is accessed via the dressing room, where there are numerous built-in wardrobes. The second and third bedrooms are also of a generous size and accommodate large four-poster beds. There are seven further bedrooms, all of which are bright, inviting spaces. They either have ensuite facilities or are very close to facilities. From the landing, a staircase takes you up to the second floor. The amount of space here is a real surprise, with exposed wooden beams, plenty of light and gorgeous elevated views across the grounds, valley and hills beyond. The main space here has previously been used as a comprehensive gymnasium but could suit a number of different uses, subject to any necessary consents. It leads into another substantial room which is set up as a games and TV room. It is large enough to create a cinema space if desired. Also on this floor are various store rooms, as well as a room with steam and sauna facilities and a further room currently set up as a massage/treatment room. The staff apartment, also on this floor, provides a generous living/dining room with lovely views, a fully fitted kitchen, bathroom and double bedroom. Exterior The house stands in simply landscaped grounds which include large areas of lawn and a park-like field providing space for grazing if required. The grounds are approached through a pair of electrically operated tall gates opening onto the gravelled drive, which leads to a generous parking and turning area beside the house. There is a further garden space to the far side of the house. Steps lead down to the outdoor swimming pool and large level lawn. The pool is currently decommissioned and may require attention before being brought back into use. This remains a lovely, private and sheltered area of the grounds to enjoy the sunshine. The grounds stretch to around 10 acres in total and gently slope to the lower boundary. The boundary is made up of mature trees, giving excellent privacy in all directions. Canonteign Manor is one of the South West’s most significant ancient houses. Presented in good condition and situated in a spectacular yet convenient location, it offers a remarkable combination of history, scale, privacy and setting. Location The nearest village is Christow, which also overlooks the Teign Valley and is popular due to both its location and good range of community facilities, including pub, village school, shop, sports fields, doctor’s surgery and clubs. Bovey Tracey, the popular town on the edge of Dartmoor, is around 10 minutes’ drive away. You’ll find a range of amenities there, along with the popular Devon Guild of Craftsmen. Exeter is a short drive away, accessible either via the A38 dual carriageway or the very scenic Teign Valley road and B3212. This lovely Cathedral city offers many restaurants and high-quality shopping outlets. There is also a very popular university and excellent range of schooling.
