Hurlditch Court is an impressive Grade II listed Devon manor house set within about 14 acres of beautifully maintained gardens, paddocks and woodland. Approached by a long private drive, the house sits in an elevated position with outstanding views and a strong sense of privacy, while remaining close to the amenities of Lamerton and Tavistock. The property includes two cottages, two shepherds huts and a well arranged group of outbuildings, all presented to a high standard.
The house has striking slatestone and granite elevations that make an immediate impression. Internally, the presentation is exceptional throughout. Many original features have been carefully restored or introduced, and modern systems have been incorporated with skill. Underfloor heating runs across all three floors and is powered by a biomass boiler, creating a warm and comfortable environment unusual for a building of this age.
The entrance hall gives access to a generous reception hall with wood panelling and a detailed fireplace, providing a welcoming space for arrival and informal entertaining. From here, the principal rooms are reached. The drawing room offers far reaching views of the gardens and countryside and includes an elegant fireplace, cornicing and decorative plasterwork. The panelled dining room is ideal for formal gatherings and has a passage leading to a wine cellar.
A comfortable sitting room lies on the opposite side of the hall, with glazed double doors opening to the breakfast room, which features a finely carved fireplace. The breakfast room adjoins the well appointed kitchen with a large central island and modern integrated appliances. Beyond this are the utility room and a secondary entrance. A separate corridor leads to the integral annexe, which includes an open plan kitchen and sitting room, bedroom and shower room. Planning permission exists for an orangery and a four-bay garage on this side of the house.
The first floor is reached via an impressive cantilevered staircase. A spacious family room at the centre of the floor adds to the sense of light and proportion. Each bedroom has an en suite bath or shower room, all finished to a high standard. The principal bedroom has notable scale, far reaching views, a dressing room and a beautifully appointed bathroom. On the second floor is a self contained flat with a drawing room, kitchen and two en suite bedrooms, which could be re integrated into the main house if required.
The gardens surrounding the house are a particular feature, with expansive lawns, terraces for outdoor dining and an attractive walled garden and orchard. Beyond the formal areas, paddocks lead to woodland with paths for walking and enjoying the landscape. The outbuildings include two cottages and two shepherds huts, providing excellent ancillary accommodation, along with further buildings suitable for storage or potential future use, subject to consents.
Hurlditch Court offers an outstanding combination of period architecture, exceptional presentation, versatile accommodation and a peaceful setting within one of West Devon's most attractive rural locations.
Hurlditch Court is positioned just outside the village of Lamerton in a peaceful rural setting with wide reaching views across the surrounding countryside.
