Manor Farmhouse is a substantial Grade II* Georgian farmhouse set in about 18.85 acres of pasture, orchards and amenity land on the South Devon coast. The stone-built house (c.1700) offers large, high‑ceilinged rooms, original sash windows and historic features across six bedrooms and generous reception space. The setting is private and peaceful, with south-facing gardens and broad countryside views — ideal for a family estate or buyer seeking a rural restoration project.
The property is sold as Lot 1 by informal tender and includes numerous historic stone outbuildings and 20th‑century agricultural structures. The buildings provide significant scope for alternative uses or conversions (subject to listed‑building and planning consents). The wide acreage includes biodiverse grassland, orchards, hedgerows and a watercourse, supporting both agricultural and amenity uses.
Important practical points: the farmhouse requires substantial renovation and modernisation and will demand a committed programme of works and budget. The Grade II* listing imposes restrictions and will affect repair, alteration and conversion options; prospective buyers should seek specialist heritage advice. Services are basic — private water supply, septic tank and single‑phase electricity; heating is historic/partial with oil boiler and radiators. Mobile signal is poor and broadband very slow, so the property suits purchasers comfortable with rural connectivity limitations.
This is a rare opportunity to secure a large historic house with extensive grounds and outbuildings in the South Devon National Landscape. Purchasers seeking a restored family home, hobby farm or sympathetic conversion will find strong potential here, but should allow time, specialist consents and investment to realise it. Sale is by tender — note licence for the workshop and the vendors’ retained rights during the licence period.
