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 Wolverwood is a bold and highly individual home, tucked away in a private hillside setting on the edge of historic Plympton St Maurice. Set within around 3.5 acres of gardens, terraces and paddocks, it offers privacy, versatility and a lifestyle that is increasingly hard to find so close to Plymouth, the A38 and wider routes into Cornwall and towards Exeter. What makes Wolverwood especially compelling is the way it combines two distinct parts into one highly adaptable whole. The contemporary section of the house provides striking modern living space together with three beautifully appointed bedrooms, while the original cottage offers three further bedrooms and its own characterful accommodation. This arrangement makes the property particularly well suited to multigenerational living, buyers wanting a home with lettable income potential, or those who run a business from home and need genuine separation between different parts of daily life. Alongside the house is a substantial detached commercial building with B1 category use, adding another valuable dimension for anyone seeking workspace, storage, studio, gym or business premises from home. The Inside At the heart of Wolverwood is a remarkable open plan kitchen, dining and living space extending to over 14 metres in length. It is a room designed for modern living on an impressive scale, bringing together strong contemporary styling with warmth, comfort and practicality. The bespoke kitchen is centred around a large island with breakfast bar seating and features an Everhot electric range, induction hob, built-in appliances, larder and utility. Copper toned details, Microcement finishes, feature lighting and exposed steelwork all give the space a polished interior designed feel, while the layout allows room for relaxed seating, dining and entertaining. A contemporary wood burner adds warmth and focus, making this a space that works just as well for everyday family life as it does for hosting friends. The modern side of the house also includes three luxury bedrooms, creating a superb main home environment that feels stylish, spacious and private. The principal suite is especially impressive, with triple aspect windows, a walk-in wardrobe, wet room ensuite, freestanding bath and access to a wraparound balcony. It has the feel of a boutique hotel suite, calm, beautifully finished and generous in scale. Two further bedrooms in this part of the house are equally well presented, each with their own strong sense of design and comfort. The original cottage provides a lovely contrast, bringing texture, warmth and a more traditional feel to the overall arrangement. Here, there is a formal dining room with a wood burner and garden outlook, a comfortable family room with slate flooring and French doors opening outside, and a characterful kitchen with oak worktops, fitted cabinetry and a glazed roof section drawing in natural light. This side of the house also provides three further bedrooms, giving real flexibility for dependent relatives, older children, guests or those looking to create income from part of the accommodation, subject to any permissions or requirements a buyer may wish to satisfy. Taken as a whole, Wolverwood is far more than a six bedroom house. It is a home that can evolve around different needs and stages of life, whether that means living across generations, balancing home life with supplementary income, or simply having the space to work, host and live in a more flexible way. The Outside Outside, Wolverwood is just as impressive. The grounds extend to around 3.5 acres and include gardens, terraces, areas of natural planting and small paddocks, all contributing to the sense of privacy and space. The property is fully fenced and entered via electric gates, giving it a secure and tucked away feel from the moment you arrive. Around the house are several places to sit, relax and enjoy the outlook. The cottage side has a more intimate garden feel, while the modern extension opens onto broad terrace and balcony areas that create a strong indoor and outdoor flow. There is ample parking for cars and vans, making the property highly practical for larger households, visiting guests or business use. A major asset here is the detached commercial building, which greatly broadens the appeal of the property. With B1 category use, it offers valuable flexibility for offices, storage, workshop use, fitness space or an established home run business, all clearly separate from the main house itself. For buyers wanting to combine lifestyle and work in one setting, this is a significant advantage. Wolverwood also remains registered as a smallholding, giving the next owner the option to keep livestock or make broader use of the land if desired. Location Wolverwood is positioned on the outskirts of historic Plympton St Maurice, with the town centre around 1.5 miles away for everyday amenities including supermarkets, schools, post office, banks and bakeries. Plymouth city centre is approximately 5 miles away and offers a much wider range of facilities, including grammar and private schools, Plymouth University, Derriford Hospital, theatres, cinemas, shopping, Royal William Yard and an excellent choice of restaurants. The ferry port also provides crossings to Spain and France. For buyers who value accessibility, the location works especially well. The A38 is easily reached, opening convenient routes towards Cornwall, Exeter and the M5, with Exeter approximately 40 miles away. It is a setting that gives you privacy and breathing space without losing touch with day to day convenience or wider transport links.

Introduction Grey Gables is a house of real stature. Grade II listed and rich in character, it stands within beautiful mature grounds on the edge of Bovey Tracey, combining the feel of a country house with the convenience of a well connected market town nearby. Dating back in part to the 16th century, it is a home with depth, presence and a fascinating story behind it. What is especially appealing today is the work that has already been done. During the current ownership, substantial investment has gone into the important areas of the property, including a new roof, lead work, drainage, exterior landscaping and management, along with an enlarged drive and additional parking area. The result is a handsome and deeply atmospheric home where much of the essential work has already been tackled, leaving the next owner free to focus on enjoyment and to bring their own decorative vision over time. History Grey Gables has evolved over centuries and its story is woven into the history of Bovey Tracey itself. Records suggest there has been a substantial house on the site since at least 1765, though the origins of the property reach further back, with references to an earlier building in the 1600s and evidence of former foundations within the grounds. Over time the house was altered and enlarged, and at one stage took on the form of a Georgian house with a granite wraparound. In the mid 19th century the house, then known as The Vicarage, became associated with Canon Charles Leslie Courtenay, appointed Vicar of Bovey Tracey in 1849. His wife, Lady Caroline Margaret Somers Cox, had close links to Queen Victoria, and the house is said to have enjoyed royal associations during that period. Grey Gables was restored in 1854, and later passed into private ownership following the war. Its long history can still be felt throughout the house today, not just in its architecture and detailing, but in the sense of permanence that runs through it. The Inside The approach to Grey Gables sets the tone, and once inside, the house opens beautifully. An imposing oak front door leads into a generous reception hall, from which the principal rooms unfold. One of the most memorable spaces is the chapel, with its vaulted rib ceiling and leaded light windows, a remarkable room that speaks directly to the property’s past. The morning room, drawing room, dining room, garden room and office all add to the scale and versatility of the accommodation. The drawing room and dining room now flow more openly, with the former doors between them removed, giving these two principal rooms a better sense of connection for modern living and entertaining. The former butler’s pantry and snug have also been combined to create a larger and more practical space on the ground floor. Elsewhere, the house is full of period atmosphere, from the Ashburton marble fireplace in the morning room to the stone mullioned windows, bay window, wood burner, old safe and the extensive cellar spaces below. The cellars themselves are a wonderful feature, offering excellent storage and further flexibility. The kitchen is generous and characterful, with high ceilings and original detailing, and is supported by a useful adjoining utility room. Upstairs, the accommodation is arranged across two linked landing areas and includes six double bedrooms, one en suite and two further bathrooms. The layout gives the house breadth and flexibility, whether for family life, visiting guests or multi generational living. Several of the bedrooms enjoy lovely outlooks across the surrounding area. The Outside The grounds are a huge part of Grey Gables’ appeal and now extend to around 2.15 acres. They provide privacy, variety and a lovely sense of escape, while still leaving the town within easy reach. A long private drive leads through granite gateposts to the house, where the enlarged driveway and additional parking area make arrival and everyday practicality much easier. There is also a large garage with space for storage and vehicles. The principal terrace is south facing and looks out across the lawns towards the surrounding landscape, creating a natural setting for outdoor dining, entertaining or simply sitting in the sun. The gardens unfold in distinct areas, giving them real interest. There are broad lawns, a woodland section with winding paths, a walled garden, productive spaces, greenhouse, fruit trees and a number of useful outbuildings including a potting shed, storage sheds and a lovely garden summer house. The overall feel is green, established and wonderfully private. Location Grey Gables enjoys an enviable position on the very edge of Bovey Tracey, close enough to walk into town for everyday needs, yet with a setting that feels calm and tucked away. Bovey offers a good range of amenities including shops, eateries, public houses, a health centre, post office and primary schooling. The location also works exceptionally well for wider access. Newton Abbot is around 15 minutes away and provides a mainline rail link to London Paddington, while the A38 gives straightforward access to Exeter, Plymouth and the M5. Dartmoor National Park is just moments away, with Haytor and the open moorland landscape close by, and the coast at Teignmouth, Shaldon and Torquay is also within easy reach.
