SituationCoombe House sits in a private and peaceful elevated position at the end of a long drive with superb far-reaching views over the surrounding countryside. The property sits on the edge of the village of Coombe Fishacre, equidistant between Newton Abbot and Totnes.

Nearby facilities include Ben’s Farm Shop and Riverford Organic near Staverton, Dartington Hall with its International Summer School & Festival and The Barn Cinema showing the latest films and live links to theatre, ballet and opera productions. The South Devon Railway runs from Buckfastleigh to Totnes.

Totnes is a thriving market town with a wide range of facilities including a variety of shops, bars and restaurants and the historic Totnes Cinema. There is a wonderful community feeling and a celebrated weekly market; plus a very well-regarded health shop and a specialist cheese shop amongst the myriad of independent shops.

Ashburton is just under 12 miles away and is the gateway to Dartmoor and provides an attractive range of restaurants, bars, coffee shops, an artisan baker, deli and fish deli and the Antiques Trail of the many antique shops for which Ashburton is famous. Buckfastleigh is about 9 miles away and has a magnificent Abbey.

Situated between Dartmoor National Park and the attractive South Devon coast, Coombe House has easy access to the many leisure pursuits the area has to offer including cycling, walking, riding, golf, canoeing and kayaking on the River Dart or sea fishing and wild swimming. Rugby fans can watch Premiership side Exeter Chiefs play from Sandy Park.

There are excellent schools and colleges in the area at Ashburton, Totnes, Torbay and Exeter, including The Maynard and Exeter School as well as Stover at Newton Abbot.

The A38 Devon Expressway provides connection to Exeter, Plymouth and the M5 motorway. There is a mainline railway station at Newton Abbot and Exeter, with regular services to London Paddington. Exeter airport is about 25 miles away and offers flights to a number of UK and European destinations.

The HouseCoombe House is a Grade II listed Georgian House dating from 1793. The first impressions are superb, approached via a long private drive and with an impressive symmetrical three-window façade. The listing describes Coombe House as ‘a very good quality late 18th century house which remains virtually unaltered externally and is likely to contain good interior features.’ Indeed, there are a wealth of period features and grand proportions throughout the house.

The entrance hall sets the tone for the rest of the house, with an impressive ceiling height and a classic layout that gives access to the principal reception rooms. The drawing room and music room occupy the full length of the house with a beautiful south facing bay window at one end that looks out over the delightful gardens to the front of the house. On the other side of the entrance hall is the dining room, ideal for entertaining and with a secondary kitchen / pantry attached for ease of access to food preparation. The study also features a large south facing bay window.

The lower ground level contains the classic country kitchen/ breakfast room with AGA and space for informal dining. Thanks to the house being built into the side of the hill, there is plenty of natural light on the lower ground floor, and a secondary entrance to the house. A nursery/ playroom with original inglenook fireplace sits opposite the kitchen, next to which is a scullery, laundry, linen room and wine cellar.

The classic Georgian proportions continue to the first floor where a large landing area leads to the three main bedrooms. The principal bedroom is of particular note, with two dressing areas and an en suite bathroom with separate shower. The bay window on the south side of the room ensures there is an abundance of natural light and fantastic views over the grounds to the surrounding countryside. There are two further impressive guest bedrooms on this floor, both with en suite bathrooms.

The second floor offers some of the finest views in the entire property as well as further bedroom accommodation for children or guests. There are six bedrooms on this floor, all of impressive proportions and with two separate bathrooms. Two of the south facing bedrooms feature bay windows with far reaching views.

Approximate Gross Internal Floor Area5,807 sq ft / 539.5 sq m (Excluding outbuildings)

Gardens, Grounds and OutbuildingsCoombe House is complemented by mature and established grounds surrounding the house. Immediately to the west of the house and accessed via the door from the lower ground floor is the swimming pool and associated buildings. The heated pool is elevated above the productive kitchen garden, which slopes away to the west and is protected by a high wall. The buildings flanking the swimming pool form an L-shape with garden storage and pool room on the ground floor and a home office above.

Immediately in front of the house are the formal gardens, which draw the eye to the attractive front façade. These gardens are south facing, with an abundance of mature trees, hedges and borders flanked by a high wall the other side of which is a track that leads to the collection of traditional outbuildings.

The outbuildings offer opportunity for development into additional residential or holiday cottage accommodation, subject to obtaining the necessary planning consents. The former piggery is a single storey building which has previously had planning permission to convert to a bungalow (this planning permission has now lapsed). Adjacent to the piggery is a large two storey L-shaped barn, a section of which currently contains a games room.

Further outbuildings include a workshop, two additional barns and a carport. A back drive gives separate access to the outbuildings from the lane.

The land extends to the south and east of the house and the views from the high point are magnificent. A stream runs through the orchard and feeds a large pond. The land extends to around 70 acres and is currently let to a local farmer. The current owners have previously run a small family shoot from the property.
