LOCATION
Situated in the heart of the South Hams rolling countryside, Crabadon Manor is in a wonderful, secluded valley in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, with the south Devon coastline and Dartmoor National Park nearby. The neighbouring village of Moreleigh, about two miles away, offers a popular and highly renowned 17th Century pub, The New Inn which has been run by the same family since 1972. Crabadon is situated in the triangle of Totnes, Kingsbridge and Dartmouth, all being beautiful market towns situated on the water, and all towns offering an extensive range of amenities including a leisure centre, supermarkets, a cinema, a wonderful and eclectic mix of shops and boutiques as well as several pubs and restaurants. All three towns offer primary and secondary education and Totnes, which is about 6 miles away, has a main line rail link to London in 2 hours 42 minutes. Dartmouth sits on the mouth of the River Dart and is home to Britannia Royal Naval College. The A38 with links to Plymouth, Exeter and the M5 is about 5 miles.
THE PROPERTY
Crabadon Manor was built in Medieval times as a Summer Retreat for the monks of the Cisterian Monastery of Buckfastleigh in the 13th Century; the Monastery having been founded in 1135 by a grant from King Stephen. The overmantel in the drawing room denotes its heritage from the monastery at that time. The building used to comprise four sides around the lily pond, part of which was made into a set of cloisters. The house, as it stands now, is of a long single depth rectangular layout with a central cross passage with two storey porch at the front. An impressive front door leads to the entrance hall with its heavy slate floor and oak panelling, setting the tone for the rest of the house. From the entrance hall the principal reception rooms are accessed, with the drawing room being accessed from the library. There is a lift accessed from the library which rises to the first floor.
Both the drawing room and dining room feature impressive fireplaces, and the farmhouse style kitchen/breakfast room with AGA and space for informal family dining room is the social hub of this fabulous historic home. From the kitchen, the practical elements of the house are accessed including a utility/laundry room and a conservatory leading to the garden. The generous proportions continue to the first floor where there are six well-appointed bedrooms. The principal bedroom has an en suite shower room.
LILY POND COTTAGE
Immediately behind the house is Lily Pond Cottage, a detached two-bedroom cottage providing ancillary accommodation ideal for holiday letting, or guest accommodation. The accommodation comprises a kitchen/breakfast room and bedroom with en suite bathroom on the ground floor and a generous sitting room/second bedroom on the first floor with shower room.
CRABADON COTTAGE
A detached three-bedroom cottage, situated along the lane with its own private access. The cottage and gardens lie in approximately 0.33 acres.
OUTBUILDINGS
There are a range (x6) of attractive and historic stone outbuildings at Crabadon Manor. The former stable building to the north east of the house and the range of outbuildings immediately to the north are Grade II listed in their own right.
GARDENS AND GROUNDS
The established gardens and grounds complement the house perfectly, giving a great sense of privacy and seclusion. Immediately in front of the house is an area of lawn gently sloping down to the secondary driveway that leads to the courtyard at the back of the house where some of the barns are accessed. The land is predominantly pasture with areas of ancient woodland, again protecting the privacy of the property. In total the grounds extend to about 20 acres.
