Manstone Manor is a substantial Grade II* listed stone residence dating from 1633, set in large private, mature gardens in a quiet Sidmouth location. The house offers generous, characterful accommodation across two floors with original features such as exposed beams, mullioned windows, a first-floor solar, and working fireplaces. Rooms are spacious with vaulted ceilings to some bedrooms and a traditional kitchen with an Aga — ideal for buyers seeking historic charm and roomy family living.
Practical benefits include private parking, a large garage with a workshop and a studio above, mains services and gas central heating, and ultrafast broadband. The studio and outbuildings provide potential ancillary use or flexible workspace, but any change of use or alteration will require listed-building and planning consents.
Important considerations: the Grade II* listing brings restrictions and will complicate repairs, alterations and any modernisation, potentially increasing time and cost. The age of the building means ongoing maintenance and sensitive restoration will be necessary to preserve character and fabric. Council tax is band F, reflecting higher running costs.
This property will suit buyers who value historic architecture, generous living space and private gardens, and who understand the responsibilities and rewards of owning a high-status listed home. It offers a rare opportunity to own a prominent period house close to Sidmouth’s amenities and the Jurassic Coast, with scope for sensitive improvement subject to consents.
