CRABADON MANOR
The Manor offers enormous charm and character yet its manageable size makes it ideal as both a family home and a place for entertaining. There are numerous historic features throughout the house including oak panelling, slate flag floors and impressive fireplaces.
Crabadon Manor has a long history built in Medieval times as a summer retreat for the Monks of Cisterian Monastery of Buckfastleigh in the 13th century. The over mantal in the drawing room denotes its heritage from the monastery at that time. Whilst the building used to comprise four sides around the lily pond, part of which was made into cloisters, the Manor has been reconfigured to take full advantage of its southerly aspect.
Entrance to the Manor is from the two storey porch at the front which leads to the central cross passage. The impressive front door leads to an entrance hall from which the principal reception rooms are accessed. To one side is the library through which leads to the drawing room. On the other side of the hall is a good sized dining room ideal for entertaining. Beyond the dining room is the farmhouse style kitchen/breakfast room which in turn leads to the usual service rooms including the utility, laundry room and a conservatory.
