When the current owners bought Fingals, it was a rundown farmhouse and for over 40 years, they have been sympathetically renovating it and extending it to now provide 4 self-catering homes, in addition to the main house. In 2017, Fingals was granted change of use (Planning Application Ref: 0693/17/FUL) from hotel (C1) to residential dwelling (C3) with four ancillary self-contained holiday apartments; Barberry Brook, The Barn, The Folly and Wisteria.
As soon as you step through the front door, you experience the warmth, relaxation and comfort which hugs you as you arrive, and it always attracted guests who wanted a 'home away from home'. In addition to the house and holiday homes, there is a heated indoor swimming pool, a grass tennis court, a games room, a sauna, and a gym.
Fingals is a wonderful listed manor house, which would make a superb family home and offers a wonderful opportunity to live in the beautiful Devon countryside, whilst earning an additional income from the holiday lets. The dedicated website describes in superb detail the accommodation and this can be viewed at
Gardens
The manor house and holiday homes are all situated in glorious and well-established gardens of about 1 acre. The gardens, which are level, are a delight, and well-stocked with an array of plants and colour. There are lawned areas, al fresco dining terraces, a summerhouse, flower beds and borders and a lawn tennis court, where you can host your very own Wimbledon! The boundary is bordered by a pretty brook which feeds into the Dart Estuary. There is a dedicated parking area for about 10 vehicles, with an electric charging point. There is large garage/workshop/potting shed.
Fingals is situated in a hamlet, amidst glorious, rolling South Hams countryside, in a tranquil, hidden valley about a mile from the village of Dittisham and about half a mile from the Dart Estuary. Dittisham is a quintessential 'chocolate box' village, with a wonderful mix of cottages and thatched houses, quaint lanes and a large village green known as The Ham, which is situated on the banks of the River Dart.
Dittisham remains one of the most sought-after villages in the South Hams, not just because of its charm, but because it is a vibrant community with two village pubs, post office/general store, a waterside cafe and a popular
sailing club.
Dartmouth is about 5 miles on the road or about 20 minutes down river, and offers an array of shops, boutiques, pubs and restaurants, as well as a cinema, indoor and outdoor swimming pools, 3 supermarkets, a health centre and a good selection of schools.
Totnes, a wonderful market town and a hub of activity, is about 7 miles distant and offers a mainline rail link to London Paddington with a journey time of about 2 hours and 40 minutes. The A38, which in turn leads to the
M5, is about 15 miles from Fingals. There is a good selection of independent and state schools, including three grammar schools across the river in Torbay.
Dittisham 1 mile, Dartmouth 5 miles, Totnes (train station) 7 miles (All distances are approximate)
