Welcome to St. Annes Manor, a magnificent Victorian Grade II Listed residence dating back to the 1830s. This extraordinary property has been thoughtfully restored to preserve its historic charm while embracing the finest in modern living. Nestled within approximately 1.5 acres of beautifully landscaped grounds, the manor offers a lifestyle defined by elegance, comfort, and exclusivity.

A private, pillared driveway introduces the estate, leading to a grand entrance porch that opens into an exquisite hall featuring a parquet floor and an ornate staircase. These timeless elements provide a striking first impression of the home's refined interior. To the left, the drawing room exhibits sophistication, with dual-aspect windows, a stunning marble fireplace, and French doors that step out onto a scenic terrace. Double doors within the room connect the space and offer flexibility for entertaining or intimate gatherings.

The heart of the home lies to the right, in the bespoke kitchen/breakfast room, crafted by Barnes of Ashburton. Equipped with a four-oven Aga, high-spec appliances from Gaggenau, Miele, and Sub-Zero, and luxurious marble worktops, this space is both functional and stylish. Additional conveniences on this level include a cloakroom, a wine cellar with cobbled flooring, a dedicated office with an adjoining boot room, and a butler's kitchen/laundry room complete with premium appliances.

For relaxation, the comfortable lounge doubles as a cinema room, complete with a fireplace, while the gym offers state-of-the-art equipment and opens onto an outdoor retreat with a Swedish hot tub and fire pit.

The first-floor landing, crowned by a stunning glass dome, connects five well-appointed bedrooms. The master suite benefits from dual-aspect views and an ensuite bathroom, while the second bedroom features a luxurious ensuite shower room. Three additional bedrooms, including one with an impressive vaulted ceiling, are complemented by a further two shower rooms and a family bathroom, adding versatility to the layout. The option to create a private annexe enhances the property's adaptability.

Beyond the manor's walls, the gardens showcase Victorian heritage, featuring a walled vegetable garden, fruit trees, and a greenhouse. Expansive lawns and flower-filled borders frame the property, while the outdoor kitchen, complete with a pizza oven, gas BBQ, and open fireplace, provides an idyllic setting for al fresco entertaining.

Situated close to Torquay amenities and the serene Meadfoot Beach, St. Annes Manor enjoys proximity to a vibrant community, top-rated schools, and healthcare facilities. Its location also provides easy access to Devon's breath-taking countryside, Dartmoor's dramatic landscapes, and convenient transport links, including intercity rail to London Paddington and Exeter's airport.

St. Annes Manor is more than a residence; it's a sanctuary of heritage and luxury in one of the South West's most desirable locations.
