A striking, historically converted former convent church, this substantial family home blends dramatic Gothic Revival architecture with comfortable modern living. The vaulted dining hall with marble columns and stained glass provides a unique central space, while four generous bedrooms, three bathrooms (two en suite) and flexible reception rooms give scope for family life and home working. The house has been sympathetically renovated and is presented to a high standard throughout.
Set in just over an acre, the plot is a major asset: a private walled garden, kitchen garden with raised beds, summer house, paddock and extensive parking with a garage. The grounds offer privacy, varied outdoor seating areas and far-reaching views — ideal for families who value space, gardening or small-scale equestrian use. Commuting to Exeter, Newton Abbot or Torbay is straightforward via nearby A38/A380 links.
Practical points to note: the property is unlisted but retains many original fabric elements (granite walls likely without insulation), and the EPC is a D. Drainage is to a shared sewage treatment plant with a monthly fee; access is via a private shared driveway with shared maintenance responsibility. Fibre broadband is present but recorded broadband speeds are slow locally.
This is a distinctive home for buyers who want period character on a large plot with room for hobbies, children and animals. While very private and substantial, buyers should budget for long-term fabric and energy improvements and be aware of the communal drainage and access arrangements.
