Full description Lot 1: Crabadon Manor
Crabadon Manor is Grade II listed house steeped in history. Believed to date as far back as the 13th century, the house was formerly a summer retreat for the monks of Buckfast Abbey.
The house is of a long single depth rectangular layout with a central cross passage with two storey porch at the front. First impressions are fantastic, with an impressive front door leading to the entrance hall with its heavy slate floor and oak panelling, setting the tone for the rest of the house. From the entrance hall the principal reception rooms are accessed. On one side is the library through which is accessed the drawing room, which is of elegant proportions and features an inglenook fireplace with wood burner.
There is a lift accessed from the library for step-free access to the first floor. On the other side of the entrance hall is the charming dining room, ideal for entertaining and also featuring an impressive fireplace with wood burner.
Beyond this is the farmhouse style kitchen/breakfast room with AGA and space for informal family dining room. From the kitchen, the practical elements of the house are accessed including a utility/laundry room and a conservatory leading to the garden.
The generous proportions continue to the first floor where there are six well appointed bedrooms. The principal bedroom, which is accessible via the lift, has an en suite shower room. The adjoining bedroom could be used as a dressing room for the principal bedroom if required. There are four further bedrooms.
Also within Lot 1 is Lily Pond Cottage, a delightful detached two bedroom cottage providing separate accommodation ideal for holiday letting. The cottage overlooks the attractive gardens and lily pond.
There are a range of attractive and historic outbuildings providing potential to conversion subject to obtaining the necessary planning consents. The former stable building to the north east of the house and the range of outbuildings to the north are Grade II listed.
The grounds extend to about 15.88 acres.
Crabadon Manor is set within a peaceful valley in the South Hams area of Devon, renowned for its unusually temperate climate and unspoilt verdant countryside. The property sits in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty with the south Devon coast and Dartmoor National Park nearby. There are many sandy beaches nearby, including Blackpool Sands (10.5 miles), Bantham (15 miles) and Thurlestone (15 miles) offering safe bathing, sailing, surfing, rowing and other recreational activities.
The Salcombe/Kingsbridge and Dart estuaries provide a perfect sailing base from which to explore The Solent, Lymington, and Isle of Wight to the east and Newton Ferrers, Plymouth, Fowey and the Fal estuary to the west.
The nearby and well-known eclectic town of Totnes boasts a market as well as a good selection of shops, supermarkets, restaurants and pubs. There is a mainline station with a direct service to London Paddington taking from 2 hours 42 minutes.
There are some well-regarded schools in the area including Kingsbridge Community College, Stover School, Mount Kelly. Slightly further afield are Exeter School and The Maynard
