Location and description
Originally commissioned in 1906 for the vicar of Holbeton, Alston Hall is a well-appointed country home set in a slightly elevated location overlooking fields with far reaching sea views out to the Mewstone in Wembury Bay and across to the rugged backdrop of Dartmoor National Park.
Surrounded by farmland, remarkably private, and accessed off its own long tree-lined drive, Alston Hall is within the South Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, on the largely National Trust owned coastline and close to the twin estuary villages of Newton Ferrers and Noss Mayo, and readily accessible to the A38. The famous film set sandy beaches at Mothecombe where Pride and Prejudice, Sense and Sensibility and International Velvet were filmed along with the renowned Schoolhouse restaurant are only two miles away.
Formerly a country house hotel and then more recently a family home, this 18 bedroom house is currently used for short or long term holiday letting, comfortably sleeping 38 with 17 en-suite bedrooms, and complemented by its own tennis court, an outdoor pool, a heated indoor pool, snooker/games room and croquet lawn, the property offers comprehensive amenities and excellent parking with scope for the next owners to upgrade. The bedrooms are arranged over two floors and the well-proportioned and grand reception rooms offer an adaptable layout on the ground floor. These reception rooms flow beautifully off of the exceptionally impressive Grand Hall with its handsome galleried panelling and ornate stained glass windows. The third floor accommodation could be reconfigured to provide an internal annexe or gym and cinema room.
The detached outbuildings offer potential for further ancillary or letting accommodation.
The nearby villages of Holbeton, Newton Ferrers, and Yealmpton offer an excellent range of amenities, while the town of Modbury is within 10 minutes' drive, and the M5 at Exeter is within three quarters of an hour's normal driving time. The large City of Plymouth, with its comprehensive amenities, excellent university, regional hospital, Theatre Royal and outstanding historic waterfront, is about 20 minutes away.
