About this property

Newport Manor is a charming, quintessentially English period home that imbibes all the eccentricity of an English country estate, brimming with vibrant character, set within exquisite layers of pristine gardens.

The Regency style facade of this delightful home is an elegant monochrome with distinctive wrought-iron portico offering a cloistered veranda and elegant balcony, overlooking the primrose-lined pathways, pretty trellis covered arbours and expansive lawns.

Guests will enter an enchanting little world, suspended in time, bursting with ornate touches, period architecture and lavish yet cosy interiors. Full of surprises, this sumptuous home comes with its own series of converted out houses, providing spice and variety: a wonderful bright summer house, a glamorous bubbling hot tub, and its very own pub, the Frog and Pheasant, with games room and timber bar set within welcoming burnt orange walls and a genuine pub atmosphere!

Newport Manor, is set within the heart of the Devonshire countryside, down a winding lane, with far reaching country views. It is has been finished with verve and charisma, executed with both comfort and elegance in mind, to accommodate large parties of up to twenty-four guests.

This quirky, rural idyll offers inviting interiors: an eclectic blend of open fires, lavish features with all the modern fittings required for a luxury family break. Understated luxury is the tone of this home!

The kitchen offers a bright, airy and sociable space for the group to convene at the end of the day, with a large central breakfast bar and views across the gardens; top-range appliances are provided along with double range five hob stove and traditional Aga.

The modern rustic feel is interspersed with unadulterated glamour at Newport Manor. The drawing room offers a little formal indulgence; deep, regal crimsons and antique dresser, along with Art Deco mirror and opulent chandelier. The outdoors beckon, through the large bay French window doors. In contrast, the lounge has a laid-back feel, soft earthy tones, comfortable sofas and a wall mounted television; ideal for evening downtime.

The dining room is finished with dove greys and Georgian panelled walls, a vivacious setting for colourful family meals. Newport Manor is a secluded space where the family can escape the bustle of modern living and reconnect, enjoy the grounds, cook together and take a stroll to the private pub for a game of snooker or darts!

The bedrooms are sumptuously finished, tranquil and elegant spaces with crisp cotton bed linen, generous proportions and unique touches. The luxury tone is apparent: plush fabrics, accents of sophisticated colour, suave finishes including ornate lighting, antique furnishing and glamorous adornments.

The second floor has a charming attic-like feel with sloping ceilings and exposed timber beams.

The Manor also offers an Annexe, that can sleep 7 additional guests offering 4 extra bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, a fitted kitchen with a log burner and a cozy living room also with log burner. The Annexe is bookable only by booking the Manor too, and will be included in the booking for groups larger than 24 guests, up to maximum 31 guests. 

Newport Manor boasts one and a half acres of land; fully executed for outdoor living, parties and celebrations, there are built-in speakers by the summer house and barbecue, so whether it be rocking out some tunes with a glass of bubbles in the hot tub, or a sedate game of croquet on the lawns, this home has it covered, with style, charisma, and abundant eccentric charm!

The winding and luscious Whiddon Valley is just outside Barnstaple, in a beautiful part of north Devon, known for its lanes framed with wildflowers and windswept coastal pathways.

Barnstable is not exactly a sea-side town, it is nestled on a tidal estuary, yet has a breezy seaside feel to it, with pretty cafes and winding streets, boutiques and a lot of fascinating local history.

Both the Museum of Barnstable and Barnstable Heritage Centre are worth a visit; the latter takes visitors on an exciting journey through time!

The historic Pannier Market showcases dependent on the day antiques, produce and collectables; at the same time visitors can stock up on Butchers Row at the local bakery, deli, fishmongers and butchers. Barnstable has a buzzing and lively range of local businesses and an old fashioned high street with independent producers.

The Tarka Trail is ideal for a sunny day; with lovely views of the countryside around Barnstable, or visitors can hire bikes and take a picnic.

Portmore Golf Club is a luxurious twenty-seven hole golf course with attractive restaurants and bars.

North Devon is known for its dramatic cliffs, sandy beaches and unspoilt nature - this spectacular and diverse country is abundant with gastronomical excellence, history, outdoor pursuits and cultural experiences.
