Summary - LUDBROOK MANOR IVYBRIDGE PL21 0LJ
12 bed 15 bath Detached
Exceptional private estate with pool and extensive entertaining facilities.
12 en suite bedrooms plus self-contained Stables annexe and separate bungalow
Ludbrook Manor is a rare, extensively restored medieval manor set in approximately 6.7 acres between Dartmoor and the South Devon coastline. The main house offers 12 en suite bedrooms, a self-contained Stables annexe and a separate Barnhay bungalow, providing versatile living or income-generating potential for events and guest stays. Period features—tower, crenellations, fireplaces, ornate cornicing and stained glass—are combined with modernised kitchens, bathrooms and an indoor heated pool.
The estate’s gardens and grounds are major assets: landscaped lawns, Japanese pond, orchards, croquet lawn, tennis court with pavilion, party barn and large parking for up to 100 vehicles. The Stables and Barnhay increase flexibility for family use or short-term rental; the pool, pavilion and party barn support entertaining or small events. Panoramic countryside and sea views from the tower terraces are standout selling points.
Practical realities are presented plainly. The property uses private water and private drainage, oil-fired boilers and remote rural utilities; broadband speeds are very slow. The granite walls are historic and likely lack modern cavity insulation, so ongoing heating costs and conservation-sensitive maintenance should be expected for a house of this age and scale. The estate’s size and outbuildings mean high running and repair costs, though the multiple self-contained units and event facilities create clear revenue or multi-generational living opportunities.
This home will suit buyers seeking a prestigious, historic country estate with flexible accommodation and extensive grounds who accept the custodial responsibilities of an ancient manor. It is less suitable for someone needing high-speed connectivity, minimal upkeep or low-energy modern systems without further investment.
