"An impressive period manor house set in over acres of Devon countryside with its own lake, six holiday let cottages and a host of leisure facilities. "

The Property

Nestling in a beautiful, peaceful and very private setting, West Charleton Grange is a fine country house set in nine acres of mature grounds. Within the grounds are six superb, self-contained properties: the west wing of the grange plus five separate cottages. Thought to have been built originally as a farmhouse in the 16th century and substantially altered two centuries later in the Georgian period, West Charleton Grange is built of the mellow, local stone under a slate roof and has wide, tall sash windows, well-proportioned rooms and excellent ceiling height.

The house is unlisted and has been refurbished to a very high standard retaining many architectural features including an elegant main staircase, several fireplaces, coving and a wealth of fine joinery. The main part of the house faces east and south with the later and separate former staff wing looking west.

The ground floor has three good-sized reception rooms with the sitting and dining rooms facing south with views across the garden and lake through wide, sashed bay windows. The sitting room has direct access to the large kitchen/breakfast room forming a wonderful family hub to the house and both face west to catch the best of the afternoon daylight into the early evening.

The kitchen has a large dining area with French windows to the paved terrace outside and is fully fitted with a range of built-in electric appliances and a two-oven Sandyford cooker. The two wings of the house are linked by a lovely reception hall with a sweeping, elegant staircase that rises to the galleried landing above.

Upstairs there are five generous double bedrooms, all of which face east or south and have lovely views. The principal bedroom faces south and has an enormous, en suite bath/dressing room with a separate wet room fitted with a double shower. Two further bedrooms have en suite facilities and the remaining two bedrooms share the family bath and shower room.

West Wing House and Holiday Cottages

Behind the main house is an attached, former staff wing known as West Wing House, which currently serves the largest of the self-contained holiday properties and comprises a combined living room and kitchen/dining room and three bedrooms. On the ground floor it is separated from the main part of the house by a lobby with two doors and could therefore serve as an annexe or be easily incorporated into the house again. In addition, there are five letting cottages converted from traditional estate buildings. The outline details of the holiday accommodation units are set out below:

All cottages incorporate a combined living room and kitchen/dining room with flat screen TV and Wi-Fi. The majority also have wood burning stoves. All cottages except Granary have private outdoor terraces. The holiday properties have access to barbeques, outdoor playground and playing field plus separate guest parking.

The Folly, Outbuildings and Grounds

Within the grounds are several other buildings. The Folly is a bespoke, oak-framed entertainment building with high vaulted ceilings and exposed roof timbers that can accommodate up to 30 people. In addition to the party room, it has a large terrace at the front, a fully equipped kitchen, WC and is equipped with a projector and drop down screen for use as a cinema room. Close by are an indoor pool building with changing rooms, gym and a children’s playground. The garden and grounds extend to about nine acres and incorporate lawns, a secret garden, orchard, woodland, lake and stream, along with ample separate parking for the main house along with a triple garage, garden store and boat store.
