Hidden by lush green parkland and moorland, with views over the coast is Treborough Lodge, a private oasis located near the pretty village of Roadwater.
A wonderful country house for sale in Devon has come up via Knight Frank’s Exeter office, which is handling the sale, at a guide price of £3.25m, of pristine Treborough Lodge. Described by selling agent Hamish Humfrey as ‘a good solid house’, it’s set in 20 acres of parkland, gardens, woodland and paddocks near the pretty village of Roadwater, Somerset, in the heart of Exmoor National Park, 20 miles from Taunton.
The striking house, built in the classic Victorian style in 1857, has been meticulously renovated by its current owners, who bought it in 2009 and have added a stable block, oak-framed barn and three-bay stone garage, with planning permission in place for a 2,000sq ft indoor swimming-pool complex.
They have also landscaped the surrounding parkland, clearing overgrown woodland to open up Treborough’s spectacular valley and coastal views.
Treborough Lodge, which is unlisted, offers 8,671sq ft of well-proportioned living-space on three floors, with a reception hall, dining room, drawing room (an impressive part of a 1904 extension), cinema, gym, kitchen/breakfast room and various domestic offices on the ground floor.
Above you will find a principal bedroom suite with a dressing room, bathroom and shower room on the first floor; and four further bedrooms and three bath/shower rooms on the second floor.
Treborough Lodge is currently for sale via Knight Frank at a guide price of £3.25 million — see more pictures, or enquire with the agent for further details.
