The property

The Old Manor House is a characterful and majestic property originally owned by Charles I, as his hunting lodge, resting in the village of Lifton in Devon.

This spacious holiday home offers a charming base for families and groups of up to twelve guests, with a blend of traditional features and contemporary comforts across six bedrooms and multiple living areas.

Step inside to discover a well-equipped kitchen/diner with an electric Range cooker, electric hob, microwave, fridge/freezer, washing machine, tumble dryer, and dishwasher, ideal for preparing hearty meals to enjoy around the dining table.

A separate dining room with a woodburning stove provides a more formal setting, while the sitting room invites relaxation with its open fire, additional woodburning stove, and entertainment options including TV, streaming services, Nintendo Wii, Xbox, pool table, DVD players, and a selection of books and games.

The property also benefits from a utility room and a cloakroom with basin and WC.

The six bedrooms include two king-size rooms (one with en-suite walk-in shower), three doubles (one mezzanine, one with en-suite shower, and one with en-suite bath and hand-held shower), and a twin with Jack-and-Jill access to a bathroom with bath and hand-held shower.

Child-friendly features include a travel cot, highchair, stairgate and children’s tableware.

Outside, guests can enjoy a one-acre enclosed garden, complete with furniture, a barbecue, a fire pit, and a hot tub, making the ultimate outdoor space in the warmer or cooler months, with the promise of the woodburning stove waiting to warm you up after a dip in the tub.

If you can tear yourself away from this home-from-home, Lifton offers a shop and pub just a stone’s throw away, should you need to stock up on the essentials or pop out for an evening tipple.

Nearby, you can find attractions including Roadford Lake, the Dartmoor National Park for an abundance of natural beauty and walking options, and the historic town of Launceston.
