An elegant 19th-century family home, beautifully modernised and with an annexe, heated swimming pool and tennis court, nestled within beautifully landscaped gardens.
Kenton Lodge is an exceptional detached Victorian residence, offering elegant family living and extensive entertaining space, with a beautifully integrated two-bedroom annexe, heated swimming pool and tennis court, all set in about an acre of mature gardens.
Dating from the 1870s, this handsome period home enjoys stunning views of the estuary and Powderham Castle, and has been tastefully modernised while preserving its original charm. The main house extends across three floors and is arranged around a large entrance hall leading to two principal reception rooms, both with fine proportions, high ceilings and large windows framing the garden views. The spacious sitting room opens onto the terrace, while the adjacent sitting room provides a more formal retreat. The impressive kitchen/dining room is a true heart of the home, flooded with natural light and beautifully appointed with bespoke cabinetry, a central island, and glazed doors opening directly to the pool terrace.
A separate utility and WC sit alongside a connecting wing that leads to the stylish and contemporary annexe. This space provides open-plan kitchen, living and dining areas on the ground floor, with two bedrooms and a bathroom above – ideal for multi-generational living, guests, or as an income opportunity.
Upstairs in the main house, the first floor hosts three double bedrooms, one including an en suite with another its own WC, while the family bathroom and separate laundry room complete the floor. A further staircase rises to a vast second floor principal bedroom suite with vaulted ceilings, a freestanding bath with glorious countryside views of Powderham Castle. A luxurious and private sanctuary.
Outside, the grounds have been carefully landscaped to create a perfect balance of recreational and relaxed garden spaces. The large sun terrace surrounds the heated swimming pool and pool house, bordered by lush planting and a two tiered lawn. Beyond, a full-size tennis court is screened by mature trees and hedging, offering seclusion and a lovely outlook. The sweeping gravel driveway provides extensive parking and leads to a detached double garage.
Kenton Lodge offers a rare combination of period architecture, generous proportions and stylish living, in a secluded yet accessible location.
