Historic Brimptsmead Estate Hits Market for £4.5M
Brimptsmead Estate, an extraordinary Arts-and-Crafts home, is now on the market via By Design Homes for £4.5 million. The current owners, who have cherished the property for three decades, are bidding farewell to their beloved residence.
The house, built on an unusual square floorplan, spans nearly 6,000 sq ft and boasts a pair of guest cottages and a party barn with stunning Dartmoor views. It offers a series of reception rooms, including a drawing room, ballroom, library, gun room, and 'Gentleman's Room'. Upstairs, six bedrooms await, with the master suite featuring a vast bathroom and a hydro pool room.
The property's beauty extends beyond its walls, with nine acres of mature woodland, lawns, a wildflower meadow, and private access to the River Dart, complete with fishing rights for two rods. The King, formerly The Prince of Wales and Duke of Cornwall, previously owned the estate and retained the right to fish there with 24 hours' notice. The house has been meticulously restored, featuring hand-made leaded windows, bronze door handles, polished granite floors, and nine working fireplaces.
Brimptsmead Estate's current owners, who bought the house from King Charles III in 1993 following an interview in London and a strict ten-day contract exchange condition, are now parting ways with their 30-year love affair. The estate, with its rich history and stunning features, is ready for new owners to create their own cherished memories.
