Description - Lincombe Manor is an historic character residence with a fascinating history. The property is Grade II Listed as being of architectural and historical interest. The core is believed to date back to circa 1500's and is thought to have been extended in the Georgian and Victorian eras. In more recent years the property has been tastefully modernised to combine 21st century refinements with original period features which include inglenook fireplaces, beamed ceilings, some Elizabethan Mullion windows with shutters, exposed stone work etc. The accommodation is characterful, generous, well presented and arranged over 2 floors. There is an attached 2 storey workshop with lapsed consent for conversion into a self-contained annexe. There are a further range of period barns attached to the rear, suitable to be retained as outbuildings or offering scope for conversion to additional accommodation to the main house, as a large annexe for holiday rental, studio/leisure etc or a combination of such uses, subject to planning permission.

Lincombe Barn is a separate 2 storey period barn converted to a high specification by Devon Build around 2019, also Grade II Listed. The barn presents stone elevations beneath a slate roof and has its own designated garden area. Together the properties suit dual occupation by parts of the same family or, given the location, there is scope for various home and income enterprises as the barn would make an excellent holiday let. Alternatively, one could live in the barn and rent out the manor and/or further develop the aforementioned barns. Externally there is ample parking and large secluded gardens from which there are sea views. This is certainly a property that needs to be inspected to be fully appreciated. The accommodation with the approximate dimensions is more clearly identified on the accompanying floor plans but comprises:
