Originally the stabling and cottages for the Manor House Hotel, the Manor was rebuilt by the Walls family following the Second World War when the whole area was seconded by the military. The property occupies a unique coastal position overlooking both Start Bay and the wildlife preserve of Slapton Ley an arm of which extends along the front garden. The current owners have created a home of great comfort and style with light and generously proportioned rooms many of which have delightful views to the sea and Start Point Lighthouse. The extensive gardens are well stocked with mature planting and lead down to the Ley, and there are 2 large outbuildings. Immediately to the front of the house there is a swimming pool, heated and with a walled terrace providing privacy and shelter. In addition to the four bedrooms on the upper floor of the main part of the residence there is a further bedroom and sitting room within the guest suite which has its own separate access. With several reception rooms and conservatory this light and spacious property offers enormous flexibility and is ideal for entertaining and enjoying its breathtaking coastal location.
