Property Description
“A truly magical estate to escape to and unwind…”
High in the Devon hills above the Taw/Torridge estuaries Webbery Manor Estate is an oasis of rural tranquillity. Steeped in history and with several noteworthy owners, Webbery Manor Estate was first mentioned in the Doomsday Book. It was given to Nicholas the Crossbowman, by a grateful William the Conqueror as a Saxon manor. In the 17th century it passed to the Lippincott family, one of whom set sail with the Mayflower flotilla to settle in America. In the 18th century, John Cutcliffe, the grandson of the owner, fought at the battle of Waterloo and was personally promoted by the Duke of Wellington.
Picture perfect and just for two, S18948 is the ideal romantic retreat, entered via one of the walled gardens. The spacious, comfortable living/dining room has oak floors, antiques and beautiful period Edwardian knoll sofa. While the lovely kitchen with oak work tops and slate floor has everything you need to create that romantic meal for two. For that touch of opulence, there is a superb walnut inlaid 5ft French empire-style bed, while the en-suite bathroom has large walk-in shower. Enjoy balmy evenings on the terrace looking onto the walled garden, perfect for watching the sun go down.
