Ogbeare Hall is an impressive Grade II* listed manor house for sale in Devon with 100 acres of land. The property dates back to medieval times as illustrated by the wonderful medieval banqueting hall with its carved vaulted ceiling and stained glass windows.
The house was considerably larger until the 1930s when the west wing was demolished to save money on the window tax imposed during that period but the hall still functions as a substantial family home.
Accommodation comprises: reception, hallway, cellars, banqueting hall, drawing room, morning room and characterful kitchen on the ground floor; upstairs are four bedrooms (the master bedroom is en-suite) and a family bathroom and above on the third floor, located in the turret, are two further bedrooms and a WC.

The gardens are laid mainly to lawn and contain a swimming pool and an arboretum. The rest of the 100 acres of grounds are mixed woodland (populated by two species of deer) and some ten acres of grazing ground plus a 2.5 acre lake previously used for trout fishing.
Ogbeare Hall lies three miles north of North Tamerton and the historic Cornish town of Launceston is nine miles to the south and has a wide range of local amenities. Bude on the North Cornish coast is just ten miles to the north west.
The guide price is £1,250,000. For further information please contact Stags on 01566 774999 or visit www.stags.co.uk.
