Sensational Devon mansion on the market for £2.25million

It's extremely impressive

by · DevonLive

This petite country estate is perched in a south-facing position, offering sweeping views of the countryside towards Dartmoor. The substantial country house is nestled amidst stunning rural scenery, just a mile from Loxhore village and within easy access to local amenities.

Arlington Court estate is less than a mile away, while Exmoor National Park is a mere 4.5 miles distant.

Smythapark House, a striking Grade II listed property, is believed to have been constructed in 1857. It boasts Georgian proportions and character features, along with panoramic vistas of the countryside stretching towards Dartmoor.

The beautifully presented accommodation includes four reception rooms, a spectacular orangery, a family-friendly kitchen/breakfast room, six bedrooms, and three bath/shower rooms. Additionally, there's a cellar housing a snooker room and a games room on the second floor, which could be repurposed subject to planning.

The property also offers additional dwellings, including a two-bedroom barn conversion at the rear currently let on an assured short hold tenancy, and a recently converted barn set in its own grounds with breath-taking countryside views. The latter is presently operating as a holiday let, generating a substantial income.

Moreover, planning permission has been granted for a detached coach house-style property featuring a three-bay open-fronted garage with a one-bedroom apartment above.

Smythapark House is just as stunning on the outside, boasting mature gardens and grounds that provide privacy and seclusion. The property comes with a heated swimming pool, tennis court, and stabling, all spread across approximately 15.2 acres.

The land is a blend of pasture, formal gardens, and young native woodland, planted by the current owners. It's an ideal property for equestrian enthusiasts, with a bridleway providing outriding from the doorstep.

The house has a guide price of £2,250,000. For more information, contact Jackson-Stops at 01271 325153.
