St Anne’s Manor is a very discreet holiday home, sitting behind high walls and an electric gate you could pass her by and never know she was there BUT as the electric gates sweep open and you make your way up immaculate driveway, she reveals herself in all her glory as you find yourself and the magnificent porticoed entrance. Here is your bit of the Downton Abbey dream.
When you pass through the entrance into the hallway, you enter a world of calmness, away from the every-day stresses beyond the walls. St Anne’s has been furnished with a contemporary style but has a timelessness that relaxes you. To the left of the hallway are two main reception rooms that overlook the gardens. The largest is the drawing room which is a smart place to gather and socialise. The smaller of the two rooms has a pool table for those with a competitive streak. Turning right from the hallway takes you down a passage to the kitchen, an enormous space with bespoke hand painted units, a fantastic array of appliances and a dining table where all guests can gather to enjoy a meal. The kitchen is packed with the very best appliances to make cooking a joy rather than a chore. There is a Miele Coffee espresso maker, Miele microwave, two Miele dishwashers, and a Gaggenu electric oven plus two fridges and freezers. There is also a TV room for relaxing in front of the television in large comfy chairs and sofas. Beyond here is the gym room.
There are acres of workspace plus a magnificent dining table where guests can gather to celebrate special occasions. There is the second kitchen, “The Butler’s Kitchen”. Here there is another electric oven, another fridge and another dishwasher, alongside a washing machine and tumble dryer. As you climb the sweeping staircase to bed, you rise up to the upper hallway with its magnificent glass domed ceiling. From this hallway you’ll find the luxury bedrooms. The master bedroom overlooks the gardens and has a sumptuous superking bed as well as an ensuite with bath and shower and twin basins. Bedroom number two is another superking with ensuite containing WC, shower and basin. Bedroom three is a further superking- its bathroom is adjacent to the room and has a shower, WC and basin. Bedroom 4 has two single beds and has an ensuite shower room with shower, WC and basin. Bedroom five is a further superking with ensuite bathroom featuring a shower, WC and wash basin.
St Anne’s boasts a wonderfully sized garden, more than 3 acres, which helps to explain its feeling of peace and tranquillity. The walled garden and electric gate mean that children can run free and explore all the corners of the garden. Perhaps the most incredible aspect of the gardens is the outside kitchen which sits atop a platform on the front lawn. This magnificent facility comes with furniture, cooking appliances and sails to shade guests from the south Devon sun (The availability of the outside kitchen is subject to weather conditions and will not be available during periods of wet weather or strong winds).
