This Grade I listed family home, Bishops Court, is a remarkable property set within over 30 acres of historic parkland, featuring a private chapel, multiple apartments, a gate lodge, a stable yard with a medieval stable, a tithe barn, and outbuildings. Dating back to the medieval era, the property was transformed in the 1860s by William White, a leading architect of the Gothic Revival movement. The house boasts grand reception rooms, including a kitchen, dining room, library, and chapel, with intricately carved stonework, decorative joinery, and beautifully stencilled and tiled surfaces. The property also features a centrally positioned reception hall, eight large double bedrooms, and five bathrooms, all offering glorious views across the parkland and countryside. The estate includes a collection of exceptional medieval buildings, a cobbled stable yard, and extensive grounds featuring a diverse range of mature specimen trees, rewilded parkland, and a thriving natural habitat. With its unique blend of heritage and modern sustainability, Bishops Court offers a rare combination of a rural setting with city convenience, just 1.4 miles from Junction 30 of the M5 and 5.5 miles from Exeter city center.
