Marchand Petit is offering a rare opportunity to acquire a beautifully restored, historic, Grade II listed property with six double bedrooms set in a rural location close to the riverside village of Dittisham.

Bozomzeal Manor is an historic, Grade II listed property, originally a monastery and mentioned in the Doomesday Book, nestling in a sheltered valley side position and set within landscaped gardens of approximately 2.5 acres, complete with stock proof paddock, large ornamental ponds and private terraces.

The current owners have lovingly restored the property resulting in a comfortable family home of considerable charm and sense of history.

Of particular note is the generously proportioned Great Hall with it's imposing fireplace, exposed beams and stone mullioned windows.

In addition to the spacious and beautifully appointed five bedroom main residence, there is an attached annexe with galleried landing and bedroom.

The property is fitted with English Oak doors, English Oak radio controlled gates and double glazed windows throughout.

A former barn has been converted to create a large car port with spacious accommodation over, currently arranged as an office with a large mezzanine music room, beneath raised ceilings.

The gardens consist of both formal and less formal areas and have been designed and landscaped to enhance the property's rural location.

From the upper pond, with it's area of recently planted trees there are views down the valley to the mouth of the river Dart, Kingswear and the sea.

Large gravelled and paved terraces to the front and rear of the main house afford sheltered and private areas for al fresco dining and entertaining.

"This is a wonderful opportunity to acquire a spacious period property complete with annexe, with a wealth of history and set in delightful landscaped gardens, close to Dittisham, Dartmouth and Totnes," Marchand Petit said.

Dittisham boasts a strong community with a beautiful church, two inns, a sailing club and a Post Office/shop and is one of the most sought after villages in the South Hams.

The village lies on the western banks of the River Dart, approximately six miles from the historic town of Dartmouth, home to the Britannia Royal Naval College and a bustling market town, famous as a sailing centre.

The medieval market town of Totnes with its mainline railway station giving access to London (Paddington), Bristol and Birmingham is approximately eight miles away.

The national motorway network is easily accessed via the A38 dual carriageway as are the local airports at Plymouth and Exeter.

Offers in the region of £1.5m are being sought and to book a viewing contact Marchand Petit at Dartmouth on 01803 839190.
