4 Bed in Bishopsteignton (oc-m34733)

Set in an elevated position overlooking the Teign Estuary, this grand and characterful country home offers space, comfort and breathtaking views in equal measure. Enjoying a peaceful setting on the edge of Teignmouth, the property is ideally placed for exploring South Devon, with Teignmouth’s seafront and promenade just 1.5 miles away and scenic estuary walks direct from the house with river access, ideal for launching small boats at high tide and paddle boarding. The charming village of Shaldon, with its sandy beach and welcoming pubs, lies approximately 2 miles away, while the wide sands and nature reserve at Dawlish Warren are around 5 miles. Further afield, the vibrant harbour town of Torquay sits roughly 9 miles away, Exeter is around 14 miles, and the dramatic landscapes of Dartmoor National Park can be reached in approximately 18 miles, making this an excellent base for both coastal adventures and countryside exploration.


Why not attend one of the many events in the area like the Shaldon Regatta, English Riviera Air Show, Devon County Show and there are many various local food and music festivals to enjoy.

Stepping through the front door, the heart of the home unfolds into a wonderfully appointed kitchen, complete with a central island, perfect for preparing leisurely meals. Just off the kitchen is a practical laundry room with washing machine, tumble dryer and WC. Beyond, the breakfast room features a dining table and flows into a charming lounge, furnished with comfortable seating and offering wonderful views across the estuary — an ideal spot for morning coffee or quiet moments with a book. Continuing through the ground floor, you’ll find a stunning formal dining room that blends elegance with comfort. Here, an open fireplace creates a warm focal point, complemented by sofa seating and beautiful arched window seats that invite you to linger and admire the outlook. From the adjoining hallway, doors lead out to the rear of the house where an enclosed, walled garden awaits, complete with a hot tub and covered veranda with outdoor seating, all framed by yet more estuary views. Also located on this level is a shower room with WC, ideal for rinsing off after coastal adventures. A further highlight downstairs is a cosy snug beside the main staircase, featuring plush sofas, a log burner, garden views and a selection of games and puzzles for relaxed evenings in. When night falls, two staircases lead you upstairs — a formal central staircase and a narrower stairway at the far end of the house — adding to the sense of character and space. At the top, the landing divides left and right. To the right, a delightful corner bedroom enjoys beautiful sea views, alongside a generous family bathroom featuring a roll-top bath and WC. To the left, you’ll find a comfortable king-size bedroom, a separate shower room with WC, and the largest bedroom in the house, offering ample storage and a wonderfully restful feel. From here, you pass through to the final bedroom, which also benefits from its own private access via the secondary staircase, making it ideal for guests seeking a little extra independence.

Outside, the grounds are just as impressive as the interior. To the side of the house lies a large, open lawn, perfect for games of tennis or badminton, children’s play or simply soaking up the Devon sunshine. To the rear, the enclosed garden provides a more private space, with a further lawn, the hot tub and the veranda creating a relaxed hub for outdoor dining, evening drinks and long summer nights. With its generous outdoor spaces, panoramic views and abundance of character, this manor house offers a truly memorable escape in one of South Devon’s most beautiful locations.
