Ever dreamt of calling a Grade II listed castle with 38 acres of private land, on which streams flow, bluebell-peppered woodlands abound and red deer roam free, home? That dream might be about to come true. This spectacular home, which dates back to the Elizabethan era and 19th Century Georgian features, has been lovingly restored to combine its history with modern luxury - think a regency dining room and original fireplaces alongside a wine-chiller pantry and en-suites and Smart TVs in every bedroom. Beyond the majestic grounds, the location is excellent for nature lovers and townies alike. Exmoor is just a twenty minute drive away and great surfing beaches Saunton Sands, Woolacombe and Lynton are all reachable in under an hour. You can be in Exeter in thirty minutes by car, while nearby villages Tiverton - a fifteen minute drive away - South Molton and Barnstaple all offer weekly charming pannier markets, bursting with local produce. All that, and what's said to be the oldest pub in Devon, The Stag Inn, is under a mile away.
