Summary - Crabadon Manor, Halwell TQ9 7JZ
6 bed 3 bath Detached
Secluded medieval estate with cottages and barns, ideal for restoration-orientated families.
Approximately 20 acres of gardens, pasture and ancient woodland
Crabadon Manor is a substantial medieval manor house set in approximately 20 acres of private grounds in the South Hams Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The principal stone manor (circa 1200) offers large reception rooms, a farmhouse kitchen with AGA, six bedrooms, a lift between floors and formal gardens with mature trees and pasture. Two detached cottages, multiple historic stone barns and outbuildings create useful ancillary accommodation and income or guest-let potential.
The estate’s character is a core attraction: original granite walls, heavy slate floors, oak panelling and large fireplaces. The position in a secluded wooded valley gives strong privacy and wide countryside views, with Totnes, Dartmouth and Kingsbridge within easy driving distance and a mainline rail link to London from Totnes.
Buyers should note material constraints: the property is Grade II listed and many outbuildings are separately listed, which will restrict alterations and require listed-building consent. The house has an EPC rating of G, oil-fired central heating, presumed uninsulated stone walls and very slow broadband; substantial remediation and energy-efficiency works will likely be needed. Services are private (electricity, water, drainage), and council tax is high.
This is a rare country estate for a buyer seeking historic character, scope for sympathetic restoration, and either an owner-occupier lifestyle with ancillary letting income or a conservation-focused project. Practical considerations include ongoing maintenance of historic fabric, the logistical needs of a large rural estate, and listed-building constraints on any redevelopment.
