Colleton Hall, a stunning grade II listed property located in Tiverton, Devon, offers a remarkable retreat set within thirty-eight acres of private woodland and parkland. This serene country escape allows guests to enjoy total tranquility throughout the year, nestled between the picturesque landscapes of Exmoor to the north and Dartmoor to the south. The hall's unspoiled location provides easy access to the rugged north Devon coastline, where beautiful beaches await just a short drive away. With a rich history believed to date back to the Elizabethan era, Colleton Hall was significantly enhanced in the 19th century by Sir James Roupell Colleton, who upgraded its Georgian features, resulting in a unique blend of historical charm and modern amenities.
The interior of Colleton Hall has been thoughtfully refurbished by its current owners, revealing original architectural features while seamlessly integrating contemporary furnishings. Accommodating up to twelve guests across six well-appointed ensuite bedrooms, the hall is ideal for family gatherings or group celebrations. The ground floor comprises four grand reception rooms, including a gothic reception hall, all of which are south-facing and overlook the stunning grounds. The spacious family kitchen is equipped with everything a budding chef might need, while the first floor features three king-size doubles, two double rooms, and a children's bunk bed room, each with its own bathroom facilities. Guests can also enjoy terraces that provide picturesque views of the lake and parkland.
The expansive outdoor grounds are a highlight of Colleton Hall, offering breathtaking countryside vistas and opportunities for long walks through the private woodland along a stream leading to the Little Dart River. Wildlife enthusiasts will appreciate the chance to spot diverse species, including red deer and various birds. For larger groups, the additional East Wing can accommodate up to 18 guests, making it a perfect venue for larger gatherings. The hall's location also provides convenient access to nearby villages, which feature essential amenities such as pubs, post offices, and restaurants, including the Michelin award-winning Mason Arms and the historic Stagg Inn.
Colleton Hall is situated within a short drive from Tiverton, where guests can explore its charming market town atmosphere, complete with shops, restaurants, and attractions like Tiverton Castle and canal walks. The surrounding area is rich with activities, including golf, horse-riding, and walking, with Exmoor National Park just 20 minutes away and Exeter only half an hour's drive. The popular beaches of Saunton Sands, Woolacombe, and Lynton are also within easy reach. With excellent transport links, including proximity to the M5 motorway, Tiverton Parkway station, and Exeter Airport, Colleton Hall is easily accessible for those seeking a quintessential country estate experience, complete with a spring-fed lake for swimming and various water activities amidst the backdrop of Devon's stunning wildlife and scenery.
