6 bed 4 bath Detached
Secluded 29‑acre restored estate with period features and lake views.
Grade II* listed 17th‑century hall, sympathetically restored after 2017 fire
Wooladon Hall is an exceptional 17th‑century country house set in about 29 acres of pasture, woodland and its own lake, arranged around an attractive former farmyard with a range of period outbuildings. Restored to a high standard after a 2017 fire under Historic England oversight, the house retains historic fabric — cob walls, exposed timbers, stone mullion windows, inglenook fireplaces and oak joinery — combined with two well‑equipped kitchens and generous reception rooms. The principal rooms face southeast and enjoy uninterrupted views over the grounds and lake.
The house provides six double bedrooms (two en suite) across vaulted first‑floor spaces, four reception rooms and four bathrooms, comfortably accommodating a large family or multigenerational living. The estate drive and courtyard offer ample parking and useful outbuildings that could support garaging, workshops or conversion (subject to listed‑building and planning consents). The setting between two Devon Wildlife Trust reserves gives outstanding wildlife interest and privacy.
Important practical points are clear: the property is Grade II* listed — changes will be constrained and will require specialist consents and maintenance — and the plot is substantial, bringing significant ongoing upkeep and grounds management responsibilities. Broadband speeds are reported as slow, which may affect home working, although mobile signal is excellent. The local area is rural with limited nearby services; the nearest primary school and facilities are in Hatherleigh, around three miles away.
This is a rare offering for someone seeking a characterful, historically significant country estate with lake frontage and large grounds. It will particularly suit buyers comfortable with listed‑building ownership, committed to maintaining a large estate, and attracted to privacy, wildlife and traditional craftsmanship.
