Description
Canonteign Manor, a 400-year-old Domesday Manor, has a rich history dating back to the 12th century. The property has been owned by several notable families, including the Davy family in the 17th century, and was even garrisoned for the King during the Civil War. In the 19th century, it was purchased by Sir Edward Pellew, later Lord Viscount Exmouth, who built a new house nearby and converted the original manor into a farm. The property has undergone extensive renovations over the years, including a recent sympathetic restoration by Lady Exmouth in the 1970s. Today, the manor is a comfortable and workable family home, combining its historic charm with modern conveniences. The property features elegantly proportioned rooms with stone fireplaces, mullion windows, and stunning views of the valley. The interior includes a spacious dining hall, a well-designed kitchen, a study, snooker room, and formal sitting room, as well as seven bedrooms and several bathrooms. The property also boasts a gymnasium, family games room, steam and sauna facilities, and a staff apartment. The grounds, which stretch to around 10 acres, include a bluebell wood, a heated outdoor swimming pool, and a level lawn, providing a private and sheltered spot to enjoy the sunshine. Canonteign Manor is a truly unique and special property, located in a convenient and picturesque setting.
