Description
Blackborough House is a Grade II listed country house located in a rural setting within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in Devon. The house, built in 1838 for George Wyndham, 4th Earl of Egremont, is currently derelict and requires renovation. The East Wing has undergone significant works, including a new roof and planning permission to be a separate dwelling. The West Wing has a proposed caretaker's flat and family flat, and the main house will be restored to its former glory, including an impressive arched loggia and 22,000 sq ft of living space. The grounds offer extensive parkland, a terraced walled garden, and ancient woodland, with potential for further ancillary accommodation. Additionally, planning has been granted to build a pool house adjacent to the swimming pool. The property is located in a small hamlet close to the village of Kentisbeare, with easy access to nearby Cullompton and the thriving city of Exeter.
