Description
Luscombe Maye are delighted to bring to market Wrigwell, an elegant and charming Georgian Country Home with origins understood to date back to the 16th century when the property formed part of a working cider farm. Today stands an exquisite Grade II listed six bedroom character home in grounds of approximately 7.63 acres.
This prestigious property is situated within easy reach of the A38 Devon Expressway (Westbound approximately 2 miles, Eastbound approximately 4 miles) and the A381 (approximately 5 miles) connecting to the nearby cities of Plymouth and Exeter and the towns of Newton Abbot, Ashburton and Torquay. There are two mainline railway stations nearby, Newton Abbot (approximately 4.5 miles away) and Totnes (approximately 12 miles).
The home
A gated entrance opens onto the private driveway of Wrigwell and a pillared porch leads into the entrance hall of the immaculately presented home. The principal rooms downstairs include a sizeable drawing room with an ornate fireplace with marble surround, which overlooks the splendid grounds to the front of the property through sash windows with internal shutters. A separate dual aspect dining room, enjoying a similar view has another ornate fireplace and ample space for a large dining table and chairs. The study has a feature fireplace and a further sitting room at the rear of the home with a characterful beam on show, also has a large inglenook fireplace with wood burning stove.
A large dual aspect kitchen-breakfast room comprises bespoke matching wall and floor units in a shaker style plus a central island with breakfast bar. There is a large built-in larder with shelving and drawers, an oil-fired aga, a neff oven with four-ring hob and a white ceramic sink. Off the kitchen is a utility room with a wooden worktop, a Belfast sink and cupboards with space and plumbing for a washing machine, tumble dryer and dishwasher. A door leads through to a cold pantry and a sizeable boot room, both with Flagstone flooring. The boiler is housed in here and a back door leads out to the log store and front of the home.
Two separate stairwells ascend to the first floor accommodation where four of the substantial bedrooms enjoy the pleasant outlook to the front as previously described. Three of these bedrooms include built in wardrobes plus use of an en-suite bathroom, with the main bedroom also having a separate shower and its own dressing room. Two further sizeable bedrooms at the rear of the home have built in wardrobes and use of the family bathroom.
An external staircase currently ascends to bedroom six and could provide the potential opportunity to create versatile living quarters within the home, which may suit independent living, perhaps for multiple generations to co-exist under one roof or otherwise to generate a space to create an income.
Gardens and grounds
An electric gate opens onto the private driveway of Wrigwell and descends to the front of the home. The driveway continues down the side of the property to a large gravel drive which provides parking for several vehicles and there is a detached double carport which provides sheltered parking. There is a detached barn/ outbuilding, with various sections which provides a large amount of storage, mainly used at present for garden equipment.
The garden immediately surrounding the front of Wrigwell is mainly laid to lawn with plants and shrubs at the border plus there are some mature trees. A flat and level lawn at the entrance of the driveway was once a tennis court. Now this landscaped area, which includes a Ha-Ha, provides uninterrupted views over one of the fields within the property's grounds.
Very much in keeping with the period of the home, is a walled garden with established topiary and box hedging, with a lawn and low-level beds. A glorious Wisteria climbs over a pergola which provides shelter over a cobbled pathway and provides a shaded area one can enjoy dinner in the warmer months. At the rear of the home, and accessible from the kitchen, is a large South-Westerly facing walled courtyard which has ample space for outdoor dining table and chairs, perfect for some Al fresco dining. There is an orchard with apple, plum and pear trees at the rear of the home and a gate leads to the adjoining paddock, which all in all concludes the impressive 7.63 grounds of the home.
Services
Mains electricity and water are connected to the property. Private drainage to a sewerage treatment plant. Oil fired central heating. There is a bore hole which currently feeds the outside taps.
Local authority & council tax
