Description

This splendid big house is situated on a former vast country estate in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in Combe Raleigh.

Georgian, Grade II listed and rambling over three storeys, it is lovely accommodation for family gatherings or groups of friends.

The impressive porch leads into the hall, with its table for a half size game of snooker or a small group to dine.

Off this is your elegant drawing room with wood burning stove and a formal dining room, both beautiful with antique furniture and modern comforts including a wireless music system.

The country style kitchen is the friendly heart of the home with its Aga and access to the sunny terrace for outdoor meals.

Off a half-landing on the way to the first floor you will find a bright morning room with TV.

Choose from four lovely bedrooms on the first floor or head on up to the second floor and four more big bedrooms.

The outside space is wonderful for families, with a big enclosed garden complete with large lawn, the terrace with barbecue, great countryside views, a well equipped play area for little children and an amazing campfire area for the older ones to toast marshmallows and tell ghost stories.

There is space for a marquee by arrangement too, if you're planning a wedding gathering or family party.

With fishing, golf and shooting available locally and the Otter Valley and Blackdown Hills to explore, this is a brilliant place for outdoor activities.

There are lots of splendid houses and gardens to visit, as well as the interesting old lace making town of Honiton and beaches on the fossil rich Jurassic Coast at Lyme Regis, Charmouth, Sidmouth, Branscombe and Beer.

Abbots Manor is a fine house for enjoying time with special people and exploring the area, with easy access to the A30.

Great stay at Abbots Manor.

What’s not to love ? Everything you could need set in a beautiful garden within a lovely village. The house is warm and cosy with a lovely homely atmosphere. Our walking group had fab games evenings in the sitting room and wonderful meals at the large dining room table.We were even lucky enough to use the outside area as the weather was good.

The house was very comfortable and spacious and well equipped.

We were a party of 8 couples and everyone agreed it was an excellent choice. Jess the housekeeper was extremely helpful and answered any queries I had almost instantly. A great asset. My only comment - which is not to do with the house or the housekeeper but Helpful Holidays. They emailed me on the morning we were leaving to ask for the beds to be stripped and the dishwasher emptied. I had already needed to check things like that with the housekeeper. I am sure it is a standard email regarding every property but it needs to be sent the day before at least or a notice left at the property. We would definitely recommend this house to others, perfect for the amount of people we had, homely and comfortable!

This house is very well presented and thoroughly clean.

It was a pleasure to stay in this comfortable, welcoming family home and enjoy the space and its large garden. Very well equipped, we found everything we needed. Thank you to the owners and housekeeping team.
