Article: Grade II Listed Property Newcombes Up for Sale in Devon

The picturesque property known as Newcombes, nestled between the villages of Newton St. Cyres and Shobrooke in Devon, has recently been listed for sale at £1,750,000 through Savills.

This enchanting home, described by Savills agent Chris Clifford as a "magical home in a sublime rural setting," boasts six acres of grounds that include lawns, trees, herbaceous borders, an ornamental pond with fountain, broadleaf woodland, a lake with an island, a well-kept kitchen garden, an orchard, a Victorian greenhouse, and a potting shed.

Beyond the main house, there is a former coach house and workshop with a cobbled courtyard, water tower, carport with solar panels, and a former stable block with tack room and turn-out yard, currently used as kennelling.

Newcombes, a Grade II listed property, has been a cherished family home for nearly 27 years. Spanning 5,000 sq ft, it offers numerous spacious reception rooms including an entrance hall, drawing room, morning room, kitchen, living room, and a sunny conservatory. The dining and billiard room is described as a 'fantastic entertaining space'.

The property includes six bedrooms, plus bathrooms and a study. The grounds also provide ample space for outdoor activities, with the rolling mid-Devon hills as a scenic backdrop.

In a separate listing, Stannary House, a Grade II-listed property that rose from the ruins of the English Civil War, is another property on the market. Offering peaceful Cornish living and historical provenance, Stannary House is situated on the River Fowey. Credit for the information about Stannary House goes to Lillicrap Chilcott/Jefferys.

However, the search results do not provide information about the person or institution that has offered Newcombes in Devon for sale after almost 27 years. The paddocks that lie to the south and east of the grounds complete the idyllic setting of this charming property.
