Lot 1: Crabadon Manor
Crabadon Manor was built in Medieval times as a Summer Retreat for the monks of the Cisterian Monastery of Buckfastleigh in the 13th Century, the Monastery having been founded in 1135 by grant from King Stephen. The overmantel in the drawing room denotes its heritage from the Monastery at that time. The building used to comprise four sides around the lily pond, part of which was made into cloisters. The original chapel is under partial restoration, with a new roof made to heritage standards. It has a handsome Norman doorway.

The house is of a long single depth rectangular layout with a central cross passage with two storey porch at the front. First impressions are fantastic, with an impressive front door leading to the entrance hall with its heavy slate floor and oak panelling, setting the tone for the rest of the house. From the entrance hall the principal reception rooms are accessed. On one side is the library through which is accessed the drawing room, which is of elegant proportions and features an inglenook fireplace with wood burner.

There is a lift accessed from the library for step-free access to the first floor.

Beyond this is the farmhouse style kitchen/breakfast room with AGA and space for informal family dining room. From the kitchen, the practical elements of the house are accessed including a utility/laundry room and a conservatory leading to the garden.
