A beautifully restored Georgian country house situated in the heart of Devon is for sale for only the second time since 1810.
Sitting in a commanding edge of village location, and on the market for £3.5 million, Syon House has plenty of period proportions typical of its era. With wonderful views over the Otter Valley towards Lyme Bay and Budleigh Salterton, it's ideally located for outdoorsy types.
The pink property has undergone more than just a coat of paint. Owners have seamlessly merged modern touches with Georgian features, creating a welcoming family home that feels both warm and inviting. Well-appointed bedrooms have classic proportions, high ceilings and sash windows, while a modern shaker-style kitchen has an enormous island in classic grey.
The striking space has been designed with exceptional quality and attention to detail. Elsewhere, there are five further bedrooms, all with en-suite bath or shower rooms, a first-floor laundry room, and a formal drawing room bathed in light thanks to the bay window overlooking the Otter Valley.
But that's not all this home has to offer: there is also an additional cottage with two bedrooms, a bathroom, kitchen, and living room. Known as Syon Cottage, it is immaculately presented and provides a stylish space for guests to stay.
The parkland-like garden commands attention of its own. Surrounded by mature and established grounds, the outdoor space includes large swathes of grass, tall trees, high hedges, an attractive walled garden, and two practical outbuildings.
Set in a gorgeous part of Devon, Syon House is less than two miles away from Budleigh Salterton Beach — a long pebble beach extending for 2.5 miles along the Jurassic Coast. With quaint coffee shops and clean waters for paddle boarding, it's the ideal spot for a weekend adventure.
This property is currently on the market for £3,500,000 with Knight Frank.
