6 bed detached house for sale

Filleigh Mews, Newton Abbot TQ13

Filleigh Mews is an exceptional country residence of impressive proportions, offering approximately 5,550 sq ft of beautifully designed and remarkably versatile accommodation. Set within approximately 1.8 acres in the prestigious surroundings of the Filleigh Estate, this is a home that needs to be viewed to fully appreciate its scale, architectural character and wonderful sense of privacy.

Combining the charm of the original property with an imaginative contemporary extension, the house has been designed around light, space and effortless family living. Striking Delabole slate and rendered elevations create a distinctive first impression, while the interior provides a series of expansive rooms ideal for entertaining, working from home and bringing generations of the family together.

The main residence extends to approximately 4,400 sq ft and is entered through an impressive galleried reception hall. From here, the accommodation flows down through a series of open levels into the magnificent heart of the home.

The spectacular 40ft kitchen and dining space is fitted with a Cucina Colore designer kitchen, black granite work surfaces, an impressive central island and a comprehensive range of integrated Siemens appliances. Generous enough for both everyday family life and large-scale entertaining, it is a superbly sociable space in which to cook, dine and gather.

The kitchen flows naturally into the striking 36ft dual-aspect sitting room, where a dramatic Delabole slate fireplace and wood-burning stove form a memorable focal point. Beyond, a full-width conservatory with a thermostatically controlled roof fills the interior with natural light and provides a peaceful place from which to enjoy panoramic views across the gardens.

The first-floor accommodation includes a luxurious principal bedroom suite with its own dressing room, together with further generously proportioned rooms. On the third floor are three additional attic rooms, offering valuable flexibility for use as a cinema room, art studio, hobbies suite, private office space or occasional accommodation.
The linked annexe


A thoughtfully designed link connects the main residence to a superb self-contained annexe extending to approximately 1,150 sq ft.

Created to provide comfortable, high-quality and accessible single-level living, the annexe is ideally suited to parents, adult children, visiting family or those requiring independent accommodation while remaining close to the main household.

It includes a granite-topped fitted kitchen, a luxurious bedroom suite with a large walk-in wardrobe and contemporary wet room, together with a magnificent 26ft vaulted music room. Currently used as a second annexe bedroom, this exceptional space could equally become a studio, games room, generous reception room or inspiring home office.

Its combination of independence, accessibility and connection to the main house makes Filleigh Mews particularly well suited to modern multigenerational living.
Gardens and grounds


The property stands within approximately 1.8 acres of established gardens and grounds, providing a beautiful and private setting in which to relax, entertain and enjoy the surrounding Devon countryside.

A particularly special feature is the historic walled garden, which creates a wonderfully secluded, Mediterranean-style sun trap with far-reaching rural views. Fruit trees, a productive vegetable garden and fruit cage will appeal to keen gardeners, while the large greenhouse/orangery contains a remarkable grapevine believed to date from the early 1900s.

A private swim spa offers the opportunity to exercise or unwind throughout the year, while a tranquil koi pool adds further character to the gardens.

There is ample parking, together with a substantial double garage incorporating workshop space and a large garden shed for additional storage.
