Forming part of a Georgian manor house, this beautiful and most
elegant of homes nestles around 4 miles south of Barnstaple in the
picturesque village of Newton Tracey. Â The living space and
communal areas both inside and out make this unique holiday stay an
absolute contender for your next big family occasion or rounding up
of old friends. Â
Period features are abundant; the sash windows, original French
Doors to the patio and sweeping bespoke staircases ooze yesteryear
style. Recently redesigned and refurbished, the owners have done
quite simply an outstanding job imprinting their flair for colour,
the contemporary and interior design, showcasing the very best
features of this fabulous home.
On entering the property you can kick off your muddy boots and
sandy sliders and hang up your dry robes in the porch, before
stepping into the statement hallway, complete with luxe
chandelier.
On the ground floor you and your guests have a rich selection of
ultra cosy sofas in the main living room, as well as beautiful
reading chairs and love seats arranged in the open plan snug and
dining room. Â Guests visiting during cooler months are welcome
to fire up the woodburning stove, whip up a hot chocolate and perch
on one of the many window seats overlooking the
grounds. Â
The kitchen has been recently renovated with panache and
functionality merging harmoniously. A huge fridge freezer,
plenty of storage, utensils, coffee machine and a stunning Lacanche
range cooker will ensure you have what you need for cooking your
guests some proper Devon munch. Â There is a spacious hardwood
dining table seating 10, where you can cook and entertain
simultaneously thanks to the open plan setup.
Sleeping accommodation is spread over the first and second
floors, where each room displays its unique boutique-country manor
feel. On the first floor there are two double bedrooms and a third
spacious super king bedroom. The first floor also has a utility
room with washing facilities, and two  bathrooms with
freestanding baths (one roll top and one high back), and large
walk-in showers; plenty of pruning space for guests morning and
evening. Â The second floor provides a further small double
bedroom and a larger super-king size room.

Outside there is ample, lit parking on the private driveway, and
a large lawn to the front which is great for kids, big kids and
your dogs to play on. A short walk beyond the driveway is further
