Full Description

Whilst retaining many of its Period features including staircase and main reception rooms, the property has also been further divided to provide a greater number of bedrooms and with thought and consideration these could perhaps revert to their original grand sizes. There is a great deal of varied planning history with the property suggesting a variety of uses and in particular, sited on the north side of the plot and over the private road, detached from the house, there is an area of copse (which now accommodates a static caravan). There are formal Italian-styled gardens to the eastern elevation mainly laid with lawns and with a display pond, the gardens being surrounded by mature shrubs and trees and providing access to a raised patio which also benefits from the far-reaching rural, town and coastal views.

Venn Farm Manor is ideally situated for access to Teignmouth Golf Course and commuter routes including the M5 which is approximately ten miles away. Benefiting from an elevated position ensuring far-reaching uninterrupted views in a south-easterly direction to the River Teign estuary and out to sea.

OUTSIDE: The property primarily stands at the northern edge of a LARGE PADDOCK which has FIELD SHELTER and log store and TWO LARGE SPRING-FED PONDS. Is roughly grassed and is on the western elevation of the plot. There is VEHICLE ACCESS into this area which could easily provide an additional driveway and/of ideal for the movement of vehicles when transporting livestock. The eastern boundary is predominantly made up of a large expanse of PAVED PATIO and more formal gardens with various trees, bushes and laurels and ornamental pond. Further to the north and on the other side of Venn Lane itself is a large gravelled and tarmaced parking area enclosed within rendered block wall with sufficient PARKING FOR APPROXIMATELY 10 CARS at a conservative estimate. To the east of the parking area paved steps ascend to a WOODED COPSE and concrete footpath leading to BLOCK-BUILT HARDSTANDING for a static caravan. From the level of the static caravan, assuming space could be cleared of much of the overgrown foliage, a southerly aspect is enjoyed taking in a view over The Ness.
